Apple acquires location-based data startup Locationary Jul 19th 2013, 10:12, by Mat Smith Apple's gone shopping again, this time adding Locationary, a small Canada-based company that deals in local business data and locations. The deal's been confirmed by Cupertino, although as is often the case, it told AllThingsD that it doesn't discuss the purpose or plans behind its buys. Logically, however, the small startup will most likely be involving itself in Apple's very own mapping software, which continues to make up for its unfinished state when it first launched on iOS devices. Locationary uses a large data exchange platform and crowdsourcing to constantly gather, merge and verify data and locales for local businesses -- hopefully meaning the next time you pop out to your nearest Best Buy, it'll still be there.
