In its relentless efforts to improve its Map apps, Apple has incorporated a number of improvements to the application in the past few months, including the Maps update in Japan, where it introduced toll road notifications, updated icons and labels for junctions, interchanges, on-ramps, off-ramps and intersections, as well as improved pronunciation of roads during turn-by-turn navigation and more.
A number of updates have also been made to its Chinese Maps apps, in which it has introduced a new coloring scheme that matches the vector-based Maps, added a new Chinese character font for better readability, updated road network and rearranged locations in a way that relevant locations appear first. Globally, Apple has improved satellite imagery in a number of countries.
