EnTech: Apple Maps adds new data providers including NavAds and Yellow Pages Turkey

Apple Maps adds new data providers including NavAds and Yellow Pages Turkey


While TomTom continues to top Apple’s list of data providers for the backend of its Maps service, a few new additions have recently joined the list of contributors supplying information to Apple Maps. New sources providing business listing data per Apple’s acknowledgement page include E-WEGO SARL, NavAds BV, and Yellow Pages Turkey. The new data sources are likely noticeable in regions around the world including France and Turkey where the information is sourced.
Apple adds new data providers to its backend occasionally, most recently adding Gas Buddy and GreatSchools for points-of-interest and ratings data for its mapping service across iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Earlier this week, we reported on some greater changes coming to Apple Maps including Apple’s plans to add transit directions to iOS 9 as well as details on its continued work with indoor mapping.
