Apple Seeks Patent For Waze-Style Crowdsourced Navigation That Could Boost iOS Maps

Apple's patent also offers route choices based on criteria like "Scenic Route, Light Traffic, No Construction" and more that are also rated and reviewed by users.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/VCdxF3kml8U/
