Nokia dice que sus mapas son mejores que los de iOS 6 y Google
¡Ahora si ya se armo la campal!
Las desventuras de Apple con los mapas de iOS 6 van camino de convertirse en uno de los temas estrella de la semana y desde luego nadie quiere perder la oportunidad de hacer más leña del árbol caído. Tras el rapapolvo de TomTom de ayer, Nokia ha querido aprovechar la coyuntura para recordarnos cuánto está apostando últimamente por los servicios de localización, de modo que puesto frente a frente las opciones del nuevo iPhone 5 de Apple, el Samsung Galaxy S III como apuesta androide y el Lumia 920 como su gladiador particular, y… ¿a que no adivinas quién se hace con la victoria? Pues eso, que para ellos el trofeo se queda en tierras finlandesas. En líneas generales la comparativa es bastante precisa, destacando funciones como sus propios mapas offline, la juventud del servicio manzanero o la ingente cantidad de información sobre el tráfico con que cuenta la gran G (cabe eso sí aclarar que la definición que los de Espoo dan al 3D con realidad aumentada sigue siendo algo libre). Sin embargo, esto no nos libra de dos cuestiones importantes: por un lado el Lumia 920 aún no está disponible en el mercado como para constatarlo -limitando por el momento la elección a un equipo con Android o iOS- y por el otro, los responsables de la casa siguen sin permitirnos curiosear a fondo el terminal como para corroborarlo en un ambiente real y fuera de sus laboratorios

This tutorial will demonstrate how to handle and display thousands of points of data on an iOS map in a way people understand and enjoy.
We are going to make an iOS app which ships with 87,000 hotels, each with a coordinate, a name and a phone number. This app will never ask the user to "redo search in area"; it will update the map as the user pans and zooms, allowing the user to freely explore the data.
