We all know the "incident" with Apple Maps, and we know that has since been receiving small updates, you certainly have done better compared with that we met at the beginning, still we take to be considered a real option when searching for an address or guiding us through the city without errors.

In fact, Apple Maps were one of the forgotten by not receiving any news in the last presentation of the WWDC. And today, knowing that Apple would be closing a purchase by Spotsetter application, we understand why.

Spotsetter was an application with little more than a year to live, but noted for having a loyal fan base, in part because of its appeal based on a mapping interface design where we could meet the recommendations of places thanks to reviews friends, social networks and other sites.

Spotsetter began as a startup founded by two Google ex-employees who got an initial investment of $ 1.3 million for its development. The operation was based on connecting and draw on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Foursquare, and over 30 recommendations sites like Yelp, Zagat and TripAdvisor. So we had our friends information, comments, critics and experts in one place. Not bad right? Now imagine all this moved to Apple Maps, things gets better.

Still no confirmation that Spotsetter will be added to the Apple Maps or a standalone application, but Spotsetter could have entry into the Maps without any doubt and thus provide a powerful tool recommendations within the same application.
