Apple has acquired GPS company Coherent Navigation, the Cupertino company has confirmed to The New York Times.
Though the article notes that it’s “unclear exactly how Apple will use the company’s services or technology,” it seems all but certain that Coherent Navigation’s accurate, “high-precision” navigation technology will be used to boost Apple’s Maps.
Coherent Navigation “has also worked on autonomous navigation and robotics projects,” so the company’s technology may also play a role in Apple’s secret car project.
