iOS 6 Maps Code hints at tie-in with OS X version
Cody Cooper, The
iOS developer did a code dump of the new Apple Maps app from the iOS 6
beta, and found some interesting pieces of information that could point
to OSX integration with Intel-based Macs. Especially Cody found a
reference deep within the altitude_manifest.xml file to a set of
Intel-based chipsets for which certain features such as shading are
disabled.
Right now it is
not firm proof that Apple is working on OSX support for Apple Maps,But
it could point to at least some new map functionality being worked into
OSX Mountain Lion. For example, 9 to 5 Mac notes that location features
in iPhoto for OSX could integrate with iOS maps on an iDevice.
yeah, it could
mean absolutely nothing, and no Apple Maps functionality could
ultimately be found in OSX Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is scheduled to
be released to the public later this month, so we should know before too
long what the final version of the software would bring. If Apple Maps
was included in OSX Mountain Lion, how would you use it? What
integration between Maps for OSX and iOS you like to see, if Maps for
OSX does in fact exist?
