Today on the podcast, I have a special interview for you with Debbie of Mobile Mom Tech Rescue.
But first, here is a little tech news for you.
This news is from: https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/29/17518344/apple-maps-overhaul-ios-12
Apple recently announced plans to introduce completely overhauled mapping data in the US over the next year. The new data will be information that Apple gathered itself, according to TechCrunch, which got a behind-the-scenes look at the plan.
The new data will begin to roll out in the coming weeks. It will be first for people enrolled in the iOS 12 beta. The first roll out of the updated mapping data will only be available for San Francisco and the Bay Area. The report says it’ll grow to cover all of Northern California by fall and eventually come to all versions of iOS - the iPhone and iPad operating system.
The rest of the US will receive the new maps “section by section” “over the next year.”
Today I have an interview with Debbie of http://mobilemomtechrescue.com/. I found Debbie through the Facebook group of The Satellite Sisters. I love the Satellite Sisters podcast and have listened for years. They are real life sisters who talk about life and current events. You can find out about them at www.satellitesisters.com.
