Apple Maps este un sistem de harti dezvoltat de catre Apple special pentru platforma iOS, el a fost lansat in iOS 6, insa a fost primit cu extrem de multe critici din cauza inexactitatilor disponibile pentru harti. Apple a promis ca va rezolva problemele si incet, incet, face acest lucru, insa schimbarile ajung mai greu in zonele mai putin importante, in speta Europa de Est. Apple incearca sa expedieze putin lucrurile si angajeaza persoane care sa verifice veridicitatea informatiilor oferite de partenerii sai pentru diverse zone geografice, acestea lucrand din Cupertino si asigurandu-se ca tot ceea ce ne afiseaza Apple Maps este in concordanta cu realitatea.
The Maps team is searching for a manager for the team responsible for regional map quality and ground truth in the U.S.. Each of our regional teams is responsible for the quality of our maps in their region. This team’s responsibilities include:
• Testing new releases of map code and data around the U.S.
• Collecting ground truth data to allow for analysis of the impact of potential map code or data changes relative to known truth
• Utilizing local expertise to provide feedback about U.S.-specific mapping details
• Evaluating competing products in-region relative to our mapsAs the manager of this team, you will be expected to drive all of this team’s work, determine where and how to allocate resources, and clearly communicate test results and other feedback to teams in Cupertino. The U.S. regional team is also responsible for driving communication between engineering teams in Cupertino and our other regional teams, as well as evaluating new regional testing initiatives in close coordination with the rest of the Maps quality team before those initiatives are rolled out to the other regional teams.
Apple angajeaza oameni pentru toate zonele geografice importante de pe glob, insa chiar daca oamenii se vor apuca rapid de treaba, vor trece cateva luni pana cand noi vom vedea rezultatele. In afara verificarii veridicitatii informatiilor din sistem, Apple trebuie sa actualizeze si sa imbunatateasca hartile pentru multe regiuni, un proces care se desfasoara la fel de greu, din pacate.
