Apple Maps Now Shows Apple Park 3D Models, Campus Walkways

Now if only Apple maps would actually cover the rest of the country it would be useful

Whatever you think of Apple Maps, Apple Park coverage has been excellent.

Well, ok. I'm sure Apple took extra care to ensure the mapping was accurate down to the last mm!

I still don't trust Apple maps and doesn't cover enough modes of transport and have long since removed the app icon from my phone.

They didn't update the app, they updated the server database with 3D data :rolleyes:

Considering not a single normal soul will be allowed in the park, they might have just well covered area 51.

That's most certainly not true. There is an Apple Store and a café that are open to the public.

Apple will probably include some sort of locator function in an employee-only iOS app that's tied to iBeacons.

I'm sure there would be signage as well, like in an airport terminal or train station.

The first couple of weeks, I figure some people will accidentally walk into the wrong cubicle, but those are growing pains associated with any sort of move, not just Apple Park. I tend to bump into walls in a new place when I'm trying to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

:D

Different venues have different seating chart systems based on what works for the venue. Having three digit numerical sections works well in multi-level facility. It's really not that different as having apartment or hotel rooms with the room number's first digit indicating the floor number. In many places, the odd number rooms would be in one wing, the even number rooms would be in the other wing, so rooms 411 and 413 might be neighbors on the same floor.

In some concert venues, the seat rows are alphabetical and the seats themselves are numerical. At at least one symphony hall, orchestra seat A101 is first row, center seat. In another venue, seat A01 might be the seat closest to one of the side aisles.

There are plenty of location naming systems, no one best way to do things for every venue.
