"Now we’re excited to announce a big step forward with the introduction of directions — private, as always, and like our embedded maps, powered by Apple’s MapKit JS framework and already familiar to millions of users.
"You’ll now see a new addition to location and map search results that will help you plan trips by showing you a route overview, distance and travel time. Look out for it both at the top of search results that display a map, as well as within our expanded map module."

DuckDuckGo Now Adds Driving & Walking Directions
DuckDuckGo Now Adds Driving & Walking Directions
INTRO: In July earlier last year, privacy-focused program DuckDuckGo improved local map searches powered by Apple’s MapKit JS framework. It is now building on these efforts with the addition of driving and walking directions in the maps interface.

DuckDuckGo expands its maps UI with a few familiar features
DuckDuckGo’s expanded map view with map re-querying. Image source: DuckDuckGo.
Privacy-centric search engine DuckDuckGo announced that it has expanded its local search capabilities with a dedicated maps tab, map re-querying and local autocomplete.
Powered by Apple Maps. Earlier this year, the search engine adopted Apple’s MapKit JS framework to power its map-related searches. In line with its focus on privacy, DuckDuckGo maintains that it does not send any personally identifiable information to Apple or any other third party, nor does it retain location information sent by browsers after a session ends.
More about the new features. Previously, users were only shown a maps tab for queries that DuckDuckGo assumed were map-related. Now, the maps tab is a permanent part of its UI, appearing alongside the images, videos and news tabs.
Map re-querying, which can be useful to limit generic searches like “vegan” to a desired area, allows users to refine local searches while staying in the expanded map view. Prior to this, each new map-related search required users to return to DuckDuckGo’s regular search page.
While users are in the expanded map view, the local autocomplete feature will display search suggestions specific to the region of the map that is in view.
DuckDuckGo has also extended dark mode support to its maps as well.
Why we should care. DuckDuckGo recently surpassed 43 million queries a day (nearly twice the volume from this time last year). These latest features are likely to improve its user experience, which may help it maintain growth momentum. Although its share of global search traffic is tiny, it’s worth looking at how referral traffic to your site from DuckDuckGo has been trending. DuckDuckGo is also an ad syndication partner of Microsoft Advertising.

DuckDuckGo começa a usar Apple Maps
O MapKitJS, a estrutura de mapeamento incorporável baseada em JavaScript da Apple para a Web, foi uma da notícias favoritas da WWDC. Com isso, as empresas poderiam fornecer mapas on-line elegantes e robustos, sem forçar os utilizadores a entregar dados de localização a Google ou a qualquer outra pessoa.
DuckDuckGo obviamente sente da mesma forma:
Temos o prazer de anunciar que as pesquisas relacionadas a mapas e endereços no DuckDuckGo para dispositivos móveis e computadores são agora desenvolvidas com o framework MapKit JS da Apple, oferecendo uma combinação valiosa de mapeamento e privacidade. Como uma das primeiras empresas globais que usam o Apple MapKit JS, agora podemos oferecer aos utilizadores pesquisas aprimoradas de endereços, recursos visuais adicionais, imagens de satélite aprimoradas e mapas atualizados continuamente já em uso em bilhões de dispositivos da Apple em todo o mundo.
Tenho certeza de que todas as pessoas da equipa estão entusiasmadas em ver o projeto, não apenas ter uma implementação tão grande, mas tão importante, porque o DuckDuckGo é para todos na web aquele que realmente se preocupa em manter seus dados de pesquisa privados.
Na DuckDuckGo, acreditamos que obter a privacidade que você merece online deve ser tão simples quanto fechar uma janela. Naturalmente, nossa política de privacidade rigorosa de não coletar ou compartilhar qualquer informação pessoal se estende a essa integração. Nós não enviamos qualquer informação pessoal identificável, como endereço IP para a Apple ou terceiros. Para pesquisas locais, onde suas informações de localização aproximadas são enviadas pelo seu navegador para nós, descartamos imediatamente após o uso. Você ainda é anônimo quando realiza pesquisas relacionadas a mapas e endereços no DuckDuckGo.

Watch DuckDuckGo has touted itself as the search engine that puts privacy first, promising to never to track its users. In an effort to improve on this promise, the search engine has now partnered with Apple Maps for its location-based searches or address lookups. Previously, the search engine used data from an open-source mapping service called OpenStreetMap alongside information from MapBox. This combination, however, offered limited information and couldn’t keep up with the likes of Google. Now DuckDuckGo has integrated Apple’s MapKit JS framework to power map and address searches on both mobile and desktop. DuckDuckGo's policies align well with Apple’s stance on privacy and should give the service a fighting chance against the competition from Google. When looking up a particular address, businesses, or tourist attraction in an area, DuckDuckGo will now show a module with a small map box at the top of its search page. Clicking on the map will expand it, offering satellite views and.. video

DuckDuckGo map and address searches now powered by Apple Maps
Last June, Apple launched MapKit JS for third-party developers and publishers as an alternative to Google Maps. Today DuckDuckGo announced it was adopting Apple’s MapKit JS framework for both desktop and mobile searches.
All the features available in Apple Maps will now be available for local and map-based searches on DuckDuckGo. The company had been using OpenStreetMap (and MapBox) for local results. While Apple Maps and Google Maps are visually quite different, many users may not immediately notice the change from OpenStreetMap.
Current DuckDuckGo Map Results (“Pizza in Cupertino”)
DuckDuckGo Apple MapKit Powered Results (“Pizza in Cupertino”)
Google Maps (“Pizza in Cupertino”)
DuckDuckGo said it it’s one of the first global companies using Apple MapKit JS. It also stressed that it doesn’t send any personally identifiable information to Apple or any other third parties in the process of delivering map results.
DuckDuckGo uses IP lookups to provide anonymous local results, which may be relatively imprecise — especially for mobile users. In such circumstances it invites users to share location with DuckDuckGo for better results. The company explains that location sharing will deliver better data from the browser to DuckDuckGo. However, DuckDuckGo says it immediately discards the data after the session and never stores user location in its server logs.
Why you should care. In October DuckDuckGo announced that it was processing roughly 30 million queries per day. The search engine’s growth roughly parallels growing popular concern over online privacy.
If the company’s user base continues to grow (50 percent year over year), it will start to be a more attractive place for paid-search advertisers. (Search ads on DuckDuckGo are syndicated through Bing and Yahoo.) Its traffic remains a tiny fraction of Google’s. Indeed, Google has more than 100X the daily global search volume of DuckDuckGo.

News: Apple releases web-embeddable Apple Maps framework
Apple has released a long-anticipated web framework allowing web developers to embed Apple Maps into their web sites, 9to5Mac reports, similar to what has long been possible with Google Maps. The new Apple MapKit JS library is launching in beta form this week, and is essentially a web-based version of the MapKit API that’s available to native IOS apps. The MapKit JS API was first discovered on Apple’s WWDC website back in 2016, leading… from iLounge | All Things iPod, iPhone, iPad and Beyond https://ift.tt/2LtnUzY via IFTTT
