    Apple started to implement some real time capabilities into their Maps apps. For example if you go to London's Big Ben you will see the clock face displays the actual time. The London Eye ferris wheel also turns. These are small things right now but pretty cool and could enable cool features in the future.

    Unless there is a camera somewhere, this has got to be fake.

    I read that Apple maps uses wireframes somehow. I've watched the London Eye turn on my computer, and Big Ben does display the local London time and if I leave my map looking at it the time is changing.

    Now if they could do this with traffic...
