Abstract

THE SEPTEMBER 2012 introduction of the Apple iPhone 5 smartphone and accompanying iOS 6 software replaced a mapping app on Apple's mobile devices based on Google's map data with an app that uses Apple's map data. It also changed Apple's decisions as to what data is displayed (served to the user) in response to queries, especially implicit ones through manipulation of the viewing window. This change led to significant related changes in the user experience with applications that use and serve map data and resulted in closer scrutiny of mapping apps on mobile devices, as we do here.
