Apple made a licensing deal with Europe’s largest GPS maker, TomTom. Apple’s inroads into the mapping business underline the increasing importance of location based marketing. iOS make up roughly 30% of the U.S. mobile market share and 22% of the global market share. Not all iOS devices will see the Apple Maps update. Only iPhone 3GS or later and iPad 2 or later will receive the new updates. Although this does not include every iPhone/ iPad user, it is still a significant amount of users.
Apple Maps does not have an equivalent to Google Places, where businesses can formally add and verify listings. With Google Maps out of the way, you still want your business listing to show up properly for the millions of iPhone and iPad users. To ensure this, you want to make sure that you are listed and consistent among all directories on the local ecosystem. Yelp will be of major importance since Apple Maps will be using their ratings and reviews. TomTom may also have significance because of the companies’ partnership.
