Apple has acquired a company focused on hyper-accurate GPS to improve Apple Maps (Apple)  Apple Maps.  Apple has acquired Coherent Navigation, a company focused on hyper-accurate GPS, in an effort to improve its mapping capabilities,MacRumors reports.   Coherent Navigation's High Integrity GPS system is supposedly so granular that it can provide accurate location information to within a few centimeters. It's  no secret  that Apple Maps has long struggled with providing accurate location information since phasing out Google Maps in 2012. Coherent Navigation's technology could theoretically be used to significantly enhance Apple's Maps product, though Apple has not confirmed how Coherent or its employees will be integrated into the company.  “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans,” an Apple spokesperson told the New York Times in an em...

Apple Maps is finally getting public transportation directions (Flickr / Michael Trapp)  Apple will update its Maps app in iOS 9 to feature public transit directions. Apple is set to update its Maps app with public transit directions in the new version of iOS 9, which is expected to be announced at its WWDC event in early June.  Apple Maps had a rocky start when it completely replaced Google Maps in iOS 6 back in 2012. It was so bad that Tim Cook  posted an apology  on the Apple website because it was giving people the wrong directions, which sometimes ended in dangerous situations.  Since then, Apple Maps has improved to be as trustworthy as Google Maps, but still lacking public transit directions. That has given city-slicking iPhone owners little reason to use Apple Maps for the last three years. There was a glimmer of hope last year as Apple announced it would integrate public transportation directions into its Maps app in iOS 8, but...

Canon EOS 5D Mark III Review AVAILABLE AT AMAZON.IN Review based on production Canon EOS 5D Mark III with firmware v1.1.2 In 1987 Canon unveiled the EOS 650 to the world. It was the Japanese manufacturer's first 35mm autofocus SLR and the start of the EOS system. With its fully-electronic lens mount, in-lens aperture and focus motors, and reliance on electronic button and dial operation, Canon's EOS system established a blueprint that all successive camera systems have followed. Now, 25 years later, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is the latest model in the line. Up until now, the 5D series has been a dynasty of slightly unlikely revolutionaries. The  original EOS 5D  of 2005 was the first 'affordable' full frame SLR, and the camera that cemented the 24x36mm sensor as the format of choice for many professional applications at a time when many were questioning its continued relevance. The  5D Mark II  was the first SLR capable of recording f...

Preview based on pre-production Canon EOS 5D S & SR Canon has added to its EOS 5D range with the launch of two 50MP cameras, the 5DS and the 5DS R. Both cameras are high-resolution full frame models, primarily aimed at stills photographers. The only difference between the models is that the 'S' has an optical low-pass filter, while the 'S R' has a self-cancelling filter (the same relationship as Nikon's D800 and D800E models shared). The two cameras will exist alongside the EOD 5D Mark III, acting as dedicated high-resolution cameras primarily intended for studio, landscape and wedding shoots, rather than the all-round capability offered by the existing model. The Mark III still trumps the S and S R in terms of maximum ISO and continuous shooting speed. Slightly unusually for Canon, both models have been announced a long way ahead of their June 2015 availability date, so we wouldn't be surprised if some of these details changed between now and t...
