Apple has been secretly working for 4 years to make Apple Maps something you might actually want to use (AAPL)

Apple currently licenses much of the data underpinning the Apple Maps app from companies like TomTom. Apple announced on Friday that it had been rebuilding Apple Maps since 2015, and that the next-generation maps will be released for beta testers in San Francisco later this summer. The underlying map data itself, like the location of roads, businesses, and signs, will be all Apple's for the first time ever, the company revealed to TechCrunch.
