Report: Apple Buys Map Startup
Apple is boosting its in-house mapping team with the purchase of Canadian startup Poly9, according to a report Wednesday.
Most of the employees from the Quebec-based Poly9 have relocated to California, according to French-language newspaper Le Soleil. However, the deal has not been officially acknowledged by Apple or Poly9.
Poly9’s main product was an online globe-based mapping program similar to Google Earth. The company also built the embedded online map that NORAD uses every Christmas Eve to track Santa Clause’s journey across the world.
