is planning some new features for its navigation and mapping app that might surface in a future version of the Apple Maps app.One new feature suggested by the patent will allow Apple Maps to determine routes depending on your vehicle's engine profile. This happens to be something already offered in cars that have Apple Maps embedded inside the infotainment system. With this feature, the app will suggest when the driver should stop to refuel or charge up an EV.
If the vehicle can't make it to the destination because there is not enough fuel or battery life remaining, Apple Maps will look for gas stations or charging stations. The app will also estimate how much fuel or battery life will remain after you reach your destination. Users will be able to decide whether to follow the suggestions when to stop to refuel or charge or whether to roll the dice and continue driving.
A patent application from Apple shows Apple Maps offering different routes based on the necessity of having to stop for gas Another feature listed in the patent will allow Apple Maps to avoid areas where access is limited based on the vehicle's license plate.
