Apple Hiring Developers For iOS 6 Maps

Earlier today we heard that Apple had released a statement relating to the issues that a number of users have reported in their new Maps App in iOS 6, and now it would appear that Apple is hiring developers to work on its new Map app.

According to the guys over at Apple Insider, Apple is in the processing of hiring developers to join its Maps team who will be “responsible for MapKit, the iOS framework that displays maps which is used by countless applications on the App Store.”

Apple is obviously looking to develop its Maps application further over the next few months, an their existing team are apparently working to fix the issues that people have been reporting.

It will be interesting to see how Apple develops its iO6 Maps and whether it will end up being as good and as user friendly as the Google Maps app it replaced on iOS

Beautifully designed from the ground up (and the sky down), Maps changes the way you see the world. Map elements are vector based, so graphics and text are incredibly detailed — even when you zoom all the way in — and panning is smooth. Tilt and rotate to view an area, and Maps keeps the names of streets and places where they belong. Get visual and spoken turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates. Even soar over cityscapes to see the sights from the air in amazing, high-resolution quality.
