    This patent is just for the UI. When maps was introduced Scott Forstall said there was an API to allow 3rd party apps to add content and transit information to the maps app. That died a death.

    Perhps not; they are seeking a “Community Client Software Engineer” for the Maps team to work on “building and extending the Maps application to allow Apple to crowdsource improvements to the Maps experience.”
