Apple Maps van spotted in greater NYC metro area

Though Apple has already announced it will be driving vehicles in certain cities to collect Apple Maps data — it provides an updated location list on its website — iLounge spotted an Apple Maps van today in Tarrytown, N.Y. Tarrytown is located in Westchester County, N.Y., about 25 miles north of midtown Manhattan. The sighting isn’t entirely surprising, but it does give us some idea that Apple’s current data collection may expand significantly into the metro areas of the cities listed, as in this case. In a somewhat-related note, iOS 9’s Transit was found last month to go beyond its core cities.
