Apple User Group Bulletin - February 18, 2020
......................................................................
February's Featured Vendor: Eve's Apple HomeKit-Enabled Ecosystem
While you may not recognize the logo, the company now named Eve was a long-time and much-loved supporter of User Group University and other community events under the name Elgato. Eve’s product line, designed exclusively for the Apple HomeKit-enabled household, are simple to set up, easy to control from anywhere, and provide all the convenience that automation can supply. Better yet, even when accessing your home remotely via your home hub, Eve ensures that all data is end-to-end encrypted and stored on your iPhone or iPad. So, your privacy is protected.
Best of all, this month’s Apple User Group Resources blog has an amazing discount for Apple employees and Apple User Group members.

Need a presentation for your group’s next meeting? Why not offer a look at the new Apple Maps? You already know that the new Apple Maps provides better road coverage and pedestrian data, more precise addresses, and amazingly detailed land cover, but did you know there are lot of new features? Look Around's high resolution imagery, Collections list-building capabilities, one-tap navigation via Favorites, flight status, Indoor Maps for airports and malls, Share ETA, real-time transit, Siri Natural Language Guidance, proactive suggestions, and Flyover make for a great experience.
