Online game streaming services work by hosting the game on servers in the cloud, essentially streaming a video of the rendered game to user’s devices....

But this is one we think might. The core concept is nothing new: layered maps. The existing Apple Maps app already allows us to choose between standard mapping, satellite view or both, and Google Maps on the web allows us to switch on or off layers like traffic, weather, public transit lines and so on....
