Apple has expanded its Apple Maps vehicle program, sending out vans to new places like France and Sweden while expanding supported U.S. cities.
The vans are all equipped with cameras and advanced sensors that Apple hopes will improve their mapping service, which is still second-best compared to Google's long standing service. Apple also hopes to improve their 3D imagery and to improve on street level views of locations.
Apple will send out vans to France throughout August, but it is unclear when you might see them in your Swedish town.
In addition, the UK and U.S. will get improved service as a number of cities are already scheduled to be surveyed.
