Apple Updates Maps in Europe With EV Charge Stations and Bike Rental Hubs

After Brexit, the UK will still be geographically part of Europe. (Even though some Brits refuse to believe that…). :)

So 'Europe' is actually only the UK and Paris :(

"Apple Updates Maps in Europe"

Reality from the article "in London, Paris"

Apple is expanding the available features in its Maps app in Europe according to a briefing that was held in London on Wednesday and shared by Bloomberg ('https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-19/apple-maps-update-for-europe-includes-focus-on-electric-vehicles').

Apple Maps for iOS devices and Macs now includes locations of electric vehicle charging stations in the UK, thanks to a partnership with Cirrantic Moovility. More than 3,000 EV charging stations are available in the Maps app in the UK.


In the United States, electric vehicle charging stations have been listed in Maps ('https://www.geekwebguides.com/2016/12/08/chargepoint-apple-maps-integration/') since December of 2016, through a partnership with ChargePoint.Apple is also introducing public bicycle rental and drop-off points in London, Paris, and New York, an addition that's meant to bring Apple Maps in line with Google Maps, which also lists public bicycle rental locations.

Additional Maps improvements are likely on the horizon as Apple works to open a new Apple Maps development center ('https://www.geekwebguides.com/2016/05/19/apple-hyderabad-maps-development/') in Hyderabad, India, which will employ more than 4,000 people. Apple is also employing a team of robotics and data collection experts who will use drones ('https://www.geekwebguides.com/2016/12/01/apple-maps-drones-google/') to further bolster Apple Maps.

Geographically the UK is part of Europe.

It is also, until the "Leave" process is completed, part of the European Union.

After Brexit, the UK will still be geographically part of Europe. (Even though some Brits refuse to believe that…). :)
