Apple is appealing for iOS Maps users to help them improve the Maps app on iOS 7.
Apple has posted a number of full-time employment opportunities on its recruitment website, but is also appealing for iPhone and iPad users to help in the development of the application.
Apple Maps has been under the microscope over the last year, after it appeared the application was a complete disaster. Parts of Maps were missing and rendered incorrectly, leading to reports of users putting their lives at risk.
When setting up Maps in iOS 7, you are invited to Help improve Maps. Granting permission for this will sync your frequent locations to the Cloud to help Apple improve accuracy with driving and walking directions.
The coordinates will be anonymously stored so Apple can compare the real-time driving conditions with those predicted.
Apple is also recruiting for Maps Ground Truth Local Experts in Washington D.C., Chicago, New York City and Los Angeles in the US, plus Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, Istanbul, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Paris, Prague, Rome, Stockholm, the U.K. and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, India, Australia and Southeast Asia, China, and specific Asian cities that include Beijing, Hong Kong, Sapporo, Seoul, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo and Osaka.
The job listing says, ‘the Maps team is looking for people with a passion for mapping, great testing skills, and deep regional knowledge to help us build better and better maps.
‘In this position, you will be responsible for the quality assessment of Apple Maps for your region, including both data and map services. You will monitor changes to our maps, provide feedback on unique local map requirements, collect ground truth information, and evaluate competing products.’
There are also a number of posts going to work in Apple’s Cupertino HQ including Maps Bug Triage Engineer, Maps Services QA Manager, Maps Process QA Engineer, Maps Process QA Analyst, Maps Senior Data Scientist, Software Engineer – Maps Navigation, Maps Web Applications Engineer, iOS Software Engineers – Maps (multiple positions), Maps Software Engineer – Hadoop, Maps POI- Big Data Engineer, Maps Raster Data Domain Expert and Maps Traffic Accuracy Domain Expert.
