Following the positive reviews of HERE for Android, Apple fans have been clamouring for an iOS version of our app that combines saved maps with online information — such as live traffic, scheduled or real-time public transit info as well as photos and reviews for the places shown on the map. A map app you can trust With HERE for iOS you can store maps on your phone so that they’re always available and you don’t have to wait for them to load or be dependent on signal. They’re not just highly reliable when you’re in your area but they’re particularly useful when travelling to avoid roaming charges. You can save maps to your phone so that the whole HERE app can be put into ‘offline mode’ and it won’t use any data. Even if your iPhone is in flight mode, you can still see where you are, search for places and navigate there on foot, by public transport or by car.   Know how to get there The all-inclusive route planner on HERE for iOS allows you to compare walking, transit and driving directions including an estimate of how long each will take you – and all of this can be done in ‘offline mode’ too. The offline car navigation on HERE for iOS provides full turn-by-turn voice guidance with spoken street names. If you’re on foot, HERE will guide you with unobtrusive turn-by-turn alerts and when you’re taking the train, HERE shows you where the station is, all the transfers you’ll need to make and where to get off.   Organize your life with Collections You can save places ahead of time with Collections, which you can create and view on any HERE app — iOS, Android, Windows, etc. — or on the web at here.com. Designed for iOS HERE for iOS is a completely different app from the one previously available on the App Store – because the old version was based on HTML5, it had limited features and it wasn’t optimized for iOS. This time we’re introducing an experience built for iOS from the ground up with the features and the polished feel that people rightly expect from their favourite map app.   We hope you enjoy the new app. It will be continuously updated with new features and we would love to hear what you think of it in the comments section below. *Minimum requirement is an iPhone 4S with iOS7 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1426429801911-WCI9GB88ZY6Q8A8LUBDH/Probe_Data_Graphic_Berlin.png Work - Probe Data Captured for Berlin This visual can make real the vast scope of our nearly 100 billion probe data points captured every month. Probes are like currency in mapping as you can predict new roads being created, predict traffic in the future and build entire data models for smart cities using a range of smart analytics. Ultimately the future of mapping is: 1. Mapping becomes personal. People build their own maps. These tools will become ubiquitous. 2. The proliferation of personal maps begins to shape reality.

I did an entire set of plans myself and submitted them to the city BEFORE I hired Rod. Then he showed in a myriad of ways how much was wrong with my original thinking (perhaps other than the high level siting concept). Rod logically assessed the family needs and put the bedrooms on the first floor which I had reversed. My wife and I drove the color, materials and finishes, interior cabinetry and lighting, railings, doors, edited a lot of spaces, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, contractors, city submissions, designed the roof garden waterproofing etc but Rob's energy and intuition was and still is foundational.   That’s the salt water pool at night with Mondrian effect from LED lighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1668927925702-EIYO80MNWNT3WLK6Q5YM/image-asset.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1425212432343-2Q09NV26CJ795TILDNHU/flyreel1.png Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1425212495176-H83NBAHEQ1LNENA124TK/photo+copy.JPG Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1418590767311-2R59VGRV9GNH5SJIENI3/n91.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1425212588723-KVRPFV0A97A0EMMC8V3B/design+is+5%25.jpg Work - Design isn't important. ;) Design is only 5% of what it takes to deliver a successful product.

We’ve already seen self-driving car demos from the likes of Mercedes, BMW, Honda and Tesla. A first step towards taking these prototypes from test tracks into a common sight on ordinary roads is connecting vehicles to the Internet. By as soon as 2020, 152 million cars will be connected. Car manufacturers are keen to make it happen and appreciate its value. “It’s critical to making a safe comprehensive experience with prediction at its core,” said Peter. But while issues with technology, regulation and security are rapidly being ironed out, something (or someone) has been forgotten. “For driverless cars to take off, people will have to get comfortable with the idea of letting go of the wheel.”   Let’s not forget that people love their cars and – under the right circumstances – they love driving. And automation makes them nervous – a poll from Harris in 2013 found 88 per-cent of Americans said they’d feel worried about giving up control of the wheel. So how do the creators of autonomous cars get drivers on-board with idea of the car taking over more and more functions of driving? “Most people aren’t going to trust a car that drives like a robot,” said Peter. “An automated car needs to act like a person and not a machine… It needs to adapt to its owner and its environment.”   Like any relationship, trust is the key. And at HERE we believe a map is the key to establishing that trust. “Not just any map. It needs to be highly precise, contextual and infused with intelligence.” It needs to go down to 20cm precision, and contain hundreds of attributes like slope, curb height and lane configuration. It needs to take personal preferences into account and present us with choices based on a personal profile.     Peter believes that some principles from his own domain, the design world, are key to making cars that people will love. “Beautiful essentials (making the things you do every day excellent), Alive (social and personal) and Pure (What you remove is more important than what you put in….a lesson in editing).” This car-technology needs to be created with the driver in mind. It must present exactly the information she needs, in a way that’s relevant for her. Clarity is key: “If a driver isn’t clear about what will happen next, she will feel nervous.” And the system has to be paced like a person, too. If the driver is expected to take too much in at once, or think too fast, they’ll lose confidence. When people experience events like a car telling you what’s round the next corner, so you’re safe when you wouldn’t have been otherwise, then the trust can start to build. This requires an entirely new visual language that communicates the car’s intent that hasn’t been invented yet and this is a fabulous challenge both in terms of visual and user experience design. Keeping that trust and making the experience more human is essential for self-driving cars to take off. “If we can do that, the benefits to society are enormous – we can operate in a more sustainable way and we can save lives on the road.”     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54689f59e4b07d357126f284/1431423073932-KSDPHWPSAU6MW1RQKIHW/2light.jpg Work - Tensegrity Light Inspired by Kenneth Snelson, I designed this in solidworks, had parts machined in Taiwan, installed and assembled it using a tricky fixture and connected it all with Philips Hue which allows each tube to be color and brightness controlled from my phone.
