in iOS 6 we have built an entire new mapping solution from the ground up and it is beautiful this is what Lake Tahoe looks like we're doing all the cartography ourselves here's New York City San Francisco this is a worldwide effort we're covering the world there's Italy New Zealand Singapore Norway Paris I'm gonna go through everything beautiful beautiful maps now part of maps is local search you have to be able to find businesses and points of interests and so we've already ingested more than a hundred million business listings around the world to make a great local search once you find a business bring up the info card and it's beautiful we've integrated with Yelp so you get reviews and ratings and lots of photos right in the card we're also building a traffic service we have this great traffic view so it's easy to see where the incidents are or where the the slow traffic is and on top of that we overlay the incidents so it's easy for you to figure out whether traffic's likely to speed up in a given location anytime soon in addition to other data sources we're using anonymous real-time crowd-sourced data right from our iOS users to keep this traffic fresh and up-to-date all right so here's our maps they're all vector based so everything is really fast to zoom in and out you can rotate and we rotate all the labels when you zoom in far enough you'll see buildings start to appear you can tap on a point of interest here's Norma get the info card again beautiful get reviews and ratings from Yelp lots of photos we also do 3d so I can zoom in and see just what moment looks like and zoom out a little bit here let's sort of move around the city rotate around some zoom back in there beautiful I'll go back to 2d we have satellite view of course here's our satellite view but what I really want to show you is flyover let's go ahead and choose the transamerica pyramid now this is not a movie this is being rendered in real time so I can go ahead and wrote this myself I can change the camera angle fly through it myself just beautiful let me choose another place how about the Sydney Opera House and again I can wrote do this let's turn it so I can look back at the city right behind the Opera House I'll zoom out a little bit change the camera angle and that is fly over now the last thing I'd like to show you is turn-by-turn directions so switch to the other device we can't all go and get in a car and drive around so we have a simulator if I turn by turn directions here I'll go ahead and choose Coit Tower I'll tap on that quick route button gives me three different options I'll choose route two let's go ahead and start starting route to Coit Tower in 750 feet turn right onto Greenwich Street turn right onto Greenwich Street then turn left onto Grant Avenue now I can watch this adaptive cinematic camera angle as we go through corners in 400 feet turn left onto Grant Avenue when two turns are close together we put both signs up for you in 300 feet turn right onto Lombard Street see where the the footprint of all these buildings correct in a quarter mile arrive at your destination now any point I can get the ETA up top it says one minute simulator is going a lot faster than you should drive in San Francisco we'll get there faster I can also just tap on overview which allows me to zoom out I can see any part of the route and a time zoom in over here just for peeing around or at any point just tap to resume you see it coming around Telegraph Hill here arrived at Coit Tower and that is turn-by-turn directions
