Apple Maps vehicles have been spotted in 15 states to date and will have reached 28 states in total after this next wave.

Apple confirmed last month that it is driving vehicles around the world to collect data to improve Apple Maps, and the mapping imagery is almost certainly being used to create a Google Maps "Street View" competitor. Apple Maps vehicles are also taking photos of businesses and storefronts in major metropolitan areas to replace current imagery provided by third-party sources such as Yelp.

The driver is more than welcome to stop by my house and have a nice cuppa tea together.

Spotted this van a few weeks ago in Clinton Township, MI in the Taco Bell parking lot.

Is anybody really using Streetview regularly?
Heck yeah. I use it to:
* Check out parking spots before I go into New York City.
* Preview intersections and exits (important up here).
* See what storefronts look like (it's often surprising how hidden they are).
* Check out neighborhoods when surfing for real estate.
* Show my wife what her new doctor's office looks like.
* Even read the parking signs ahead of time.

Is anybody really using Streetview regularly?
Yep - I use it a few times a week, actually. Lately it's been a few times a day, as I'm looking for a new apartment and I want to check out what the neighborhoods of listings are like. It's saved me from a bunch of unnecessary trips

Serious comment though - doesn't the google van position their camera much higher than this apple van does? I would think that would provide a different (maybe even better) view than what may be produced by pictures from this van, since it captures a more aerial view point (seeing the street from afar).
At the same time a user might potentially want to have more of a human-eye level view so that what the user sees in Apple Maps would basically come as close as possible as what the user would actually see there when they are there.

At this rate it would be ages to cover other countries.
I'm in India and i bought iPhone 6
LTE : non yet available
Apple Pay : Nowhere in sight
Apple Maps : Just photo of the globe, nothing else.
I'm hardly using half cost of the iPhone 6 in terms features.
Also, to mention i used iphone3G, iPhone3GS, iPhone4 all on 2G network as 3G network was not available. Everything is so delayed here in India.
I have some Indian friends, and I often feel sorry for them and their countrymen. So many fine and talented folks unable to reach their potential because of so many systemic issues. They were far ahead of China, but it seems in the last 15 years the Chinese have passed them by. (This is an unscientific impression that I have, so if I'm wrong, please don't be harsh.)
