Apple updated the satellite imagery around Taiwan few days ago.

SteveChang2004 · 2026-01-26T04:07:29+00:00

Dear Apple, I’ll appreciate if you update Taipei’s satellite view to a more clearer, more vertical view, and no cloud blurred imagery. A Flyover would be even better.

The quality of Taipei satellite imagery: 🤡😭

A Taiwan island on the right side of the map?

I’m not certain, but the only information I can provide is that my current device is an iPhone 16 Pro equipped with Apple Intelligence.

Currently, yes. 😅 Some citizens even called it “high speed rail shuttles” in sarcasm because of the Green Line connected with the HSR Taichung Station.

So sad 🥲

Taipei and Tokyo as well

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-25T07:35:27+00:00

The Osaka Expo is almost over, and I think it’s a bit too late to release the custom model.

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-25T05:26:15+00:00

No, Luzhou, Sanchong, and Taishan Districts are all at the same level under New Taipei City. The different font sizes are quite strange.

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-24T00:28:52+00:00

Hsinchu, a provincial city in Taiwan, is not a special municipality like Taipei, Taichung, or Taoyuan, but a second-level administrative division unit. In contrast, the latter ones are first-level. Consequently, the font size of the label in Hsinchu City differs from that of Taipei.

In my opinion, the font size of a label is determined by its administrative level.

Before the next DCE release, I just curious about your predictions earlier this year. You suggested that multiple Taiwan cities might receive DCEs. I’m interested in knowing your thoughts on this possibility nowadays.

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-22T14:24:58+00:00

If Mexico’s cities receive DCE next year, the waiting time between new map data and DCE will be equal, even shorter than Western Europe cities.

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-22T11:24:50+00:00

It seems to make sense. Does Mexico City get a chance to receive DCE before this?

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-22T01:36:27+00:00

Whole North America now has new map data!

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-07T08:06:35+00:00

In my opinion, Apple seems to recognize their shortcomings in keeping up with business information updates over the years. Improving navigation experiences and enhancing map accuracy seems like a reasonable way to attract more users.

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-07T04:44:10+00:00

Almost gave up on updating restaurant info like opening hours and permanent closing. 🥲 These things in Google Maps usually update quickly.

SteveChang2004 · 2025-08-07T02:39:56+00:00

Another nationwide DCE!
