Apple Maps shows you the nearest bike-sharing stations
Apple has signed a partnership with Ito World to add bike-sharing data in Apple Maps in over 175 cities across 36 countries. The feature is now live and helps you find the nearest station by typing “bike sharing” in the search bar or the name of the service.
Once again, Apple chose to integrate an existing data set instead of putting together this data in-house. Ito World has worked with dozens of companies to license and normalize bike-sharing data. This way, Apple only has to integrate one data model to support hundreds of bike-sharing services.
Apple isn’t starting from zero as the company had already integrated some bike-sharing data in a handful of cities. But this is a big improvement over existing data.
Apple Maps doesn’t tell you the number of available bikes or empty docks. I hope the company is going to add this in an upcoming update. It just gives you the address, name and contact information for the service. So this feature won’t replace more sophisticated apps for local users.
But it can be quite useful if you’re traveling to another city and you want to ride a bike. As the name of the service is different in each city, you often end up on Google looking for local bike-sharing services.
With this update, you can type “bike sharing” in any city and find the name of the service and the location of the closest station. It doesn’t tell you if a startup is operating a dock-less bike-sharing service in that city, so you’ll have to open the Mobike, Ofo or oBike app yourself.
Apple Maps supports Citi Bike in NYC, Ford GoBike in San Francisco, BIKETOWN in Portland, Santander Cycles in London, bicing in Barcelona, BIXI in Montreal, CityCycle in Brisbane, nextbike in Germany, Austria, Croatia, Switzerland, the U.K., and dozens of others. I tried looking for stations in smaller cities and it also works in European cities with hundreds of thousands of people.
Apple has been slowly adding more data to Apple Maps to stay relevant against Google Maps. The app now supports airport and mall maps, lane guidance, public transit, EV charging stations and more. Your mileage may vary, but Apple Maps could now be a good option for your local area.
Update: Here’s the full list of supported services. It represents 176 services in 179 cities in total.

Still, the Chrysler six had long dominated division sales, so its complete disappearance after 1954 stunned some. Chrysler used them solely on the front, doubtless more for engine-compartment area than improved geometry, nevertheless it complemented them with a standard rear finish specially calibrated to maximise the bars’ effectiveness. Saratoga returned as Chrysler’s midrange ’57 series and promptly offered greater than 37,000 copies. Chrysler’s ’57 styling was very good, however offering a second all-new design in three years led to hasty, sub-standard workmanship and a tendency to early physique rust — one purpose comparatively few of those automobiles survive at present. Even so, Chrysler moved near 125,000 cars for the mannequin year, down from the 128,000 of ’56 but still good for tenth in business production. No discussion of Chrysler within the ’50s is full with out mentioning “Torsion-Aire Ride,” a company staple from 1957 until the early ’80s. But Torsion-Aire was in far more driveways, and proved as soon as and for all that American cars might be made to handle. Giving the divisions freer reign meant that people near retail gross sales would have extra say in mapping coverage. People of this country love to spend their leisure time in these pubs. That year’s 300C was breathtaking: massive and powerful but safe and controllable — and offered as a convertible for the first time.
That 12 months’s 300B used the same engine tweaked to 340 bhp; with a scorching multicarb possibility it delivered 355 bhp — making this the first Detroit V-8 to break the magic “1 hp per cu. in.” barrier. Neither returned for ’57, however the earlier year’s Newport hardtop sedans, a hasty answer to GM, would carry on properly into the ’70s. Supplementing Newport hardtops for 1955-fifty six were the Windsor Nassau and New Yorker St. Regis, conservatively two-toned and boasting slightly ritzier interiors than normal Newports. Engine choices for ’65 involved 270- and 315-bhp 383s for Newport and 300, a 413 with 340 or 360 bhp for brand new Yorker and 300L. The extra-potent 383 gained 10 horses for ’66, when a huge 440 large-block arrived as standard New Yorker fare, rated at 350 bhp. New Yorker retained a 331 rated at 250 bhp. Windsors moved as much as the 331 with 225 bhp commonplace and 250 elective. Windsors boasted 285 horses.
Chryslers additionally did properly as NASCAR stockers, however have been eclipsed by Hudson’s “fabulous” Hornets in 1952-54. However, millionaire Briggs Cunningham started building rakish Hemi-powered sports cars for European street races, and his C-5R ran third general at Le Mans ‘fifty three at a median of 104.14 mph (in opposition to 105.Eighty five mph for the successful Jaguar C-Type). Bill Sterling’s Saratoga won the Stock Class and completed third general — behind a Ferrari — in the 1951 Mexican Road Race. The third options for a high courting site is to have a terrific search instrument the place customers are in a position to govern the search functionality to slim down sure standards’s. The ’57 Town & Country wagons, Windsor and New Yorker, seated six, but might hold nine from 1958 on through a novel, non-obligatory rear-dealing with third seat. By dint of its lighter Windsor chassis, the Hemi Saratoga was the fastest in the road as much as 1955, able to scale 0-60 mph in as little as 10 seconds and reach almost a hundred and ten mph flat-out — straight from the showroom. Windsor DeLuxe was handled to a brand new 301-cid Hemi with 188 bhp. Drag racers would later extract up to a thousand bhp.
Then got here Chrysler’s own mighty 1955 C-300 packing a inventory Hemi tuned for 300 bhp — the most ever supplied in a regular-manufacturing U.S. The above-talked about exception was 1951’s new hemispherical-head V-8, Chrysler’s biggest achievement of the decade. The Hemi polished Chrysler’s image in a giant approach, and rapidly spread to different firm nameplates. The good “Hemi” was merely the latest instance. In fact, the Hemi made for some extremely popular Chryslers in the ’50s. It once more supplied a efficiency premium in its 295-bhp, 354-cid Hemi. First offered on the ‘fifty one Saratoga, New Yorker, and Imperial, it wasn’t actually a new concept, nevertheless it did have exceptional volumetric effectivity and delivered actually thrilling efficiency. The ’56s seemed even higher — uncommon for a interval facelift — and offered much more power. CharmingDate There may be nothing better within the want of these girls to dwell better and have an honest quality of life all in all. Nobody ran the interval “horsepower race” better than Chrysler.
