Apple Maps, the Cupertino giant’s native navigation mobile app, is rolling out traffic details to six new countries this week. Available now in more than 70 nations around the world, traffic information on Apple Maps has actually been offered for 6 brand-new countries – particularly, Brunei, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Philippines, and Vietnam. The app presently offers real-time traffic details in India.

The iOS Feature Availability page on Apple’s website, first spotted by MacRumors, has been updated to fit in these 6 brand-new nations under the Traffic subhead. This can be found in the wake of the tech giant’s choice to rebuild its Apple Maps app “from ground up”. In Apple’s announcement late last month, it also stated that Amsterdam-based TomTom will continue to be an information supplier for its navigation app. The rollout will start this Fall with brand-new maps of Northern California.

For the Indian market, in regards to functionality, Apple Maps provides standard use, satellite access, traffic information, and CarPlay. Nevertheless, it is yet to offer functions such as directions, turn-by-turn navigation, and lane assistance in the country.

Back in May this year, Apple had actually revealed that it would be using drones or aerial automobiles to help collect information and ideally enhance its Apple Maps service. This advancement come right after the US Transportation Department approved drone licensing for 10 corporations, including Apple in the US.

To remember, Google Maps added support for traffic signals on Android and iOS back in April 2016. This function is available for users when navigation is turned on for a specific route.
