Apple acquires Coherent Navigation for precision GPS mapping

Perhaps Apple is looking to improve its mapping services with its latest purchase. The tech giant just bought Coherent Navigation, a company specializing in High Integrity GPS. We don’t know exactly what Apple plans to do with the company because they won’t disclose details about it. According to MacRumors though, some Coherent employees have been moving to Apple so it could be an acquisition both for talent and technology.

This isn’t Apple’s first purchase of a mapping company though. They’ve bought companies like Placebase, Hopstop, Locationary, and Embark.
