To achieve this, all the heavy artillery will be deployed, both with the use of cars and special backpacks that some people will carry on the street. This is what they are and this is what you need to know about the next improvement that comes to Maps
Apple Image Collection
On the Apple House website itself it is possible to find out about this procedure. As the firm indicates, from morning, March 19, will be taking new measurements on the ground in order to improve Apple Maps and thus support the Look Around functionality.
Look around It's Google Street View and landed in Spain in 2021. The tool thus offers the possibility of immersing yourself in practically any scenario as if you were inside it, giving you a street-level perspective with real images that help you locate yourself in practically any place in the world.
The company thus confirms that it is likely to go through points that it already went through in its comment to collect details that also help maintain its updated maps. He won't do it just with his cars; Measurements are also being made at pedestrian level with the use of "portable systems" attached to a backpack and that several people will use especially to access streets that are closed or difficult to access for a vehicle.
The backpacks in question look like what you see in the tweet below, so if you see one on the street, don't be scared and do your best pose: Maybe you'll appear in the next Apple Maps update.

Likewise Apple ensures who will also use iPads, their iphone phones and other types of devices for the purpose of taking data that improve its navigation platform, although in all cases the same privacy protections used by Apple Maps vehicles are applied, blurring faces and license plates of cars or motorcycles.
Dates by region
Obviously the cars and backpacks of Tim Cook's company cannot move throughout the national territory at the same time, so they will do so by phases. These have been published on the official website, indicating the start and end dates according to the province. We leave them below in case you want to be especially attentive during the days they pass through your area.
