  • Apple brings Maps transit coverage to Prague in Czech Republic

    ZRyserZRyser
    I just don't understand Apple's priorities any more.

    In one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the US, namely Phoenix, there is still no transit info available in either iOS Maps or Mac OS X Maps. How is it that Apple thumps its chest for getting overseas locales up and running as a priority but doesn't remedy its gaping data hole in one of the largest US metro areas?

    Thank jah for Google Maps, TomTom and a few other iOS transit apps. Otherwise, I'd be sunk trying to get around.

    Ridiculous! Thanks, Apple!

    Apple, like any successful company, makes business based decisions. Not only is Prague a major tourist destination (#19 in the world in Master Card Global Destination Cities Index with 5.47 million tourists visiting in 2015), but more importantly it is a very popular destination for Asian tourists: mainly Chinese, Korean and Japanese. And market growth in Asia might be Apple's number 1 priority at the moment.
