With a more detailed map, immersive 3D experiences, and easy access to your go‑to and must‑see destinations, Maps is better than ever at getting you where you need to go. And helping you find more to do and experience when you get there.
More than 4 million miles of driving have led to a new underlying map with a far more informative and realistic view. The new map features significantly improved and refined details for roads, beaches, marinas, parks, buildings, airports, and more. It will launch across the U.S. by the end of 2019 and roll out in a number of additional countries in 2020.1
Lane guidance helps you eliminate wrong turns and directional misses by lining you up in the correct lane before you need to turn or enter an elevated road. And more natural‑sounding directions are easier to follow. So instead of saying “in 1,000 feet turn left,” Siri says “turn left at the next traffic light.”3
Share your estimated time of arrival with family, friends, and coworkers. Your ETA even updates if you’re significantly delayed.
Real‑time transit information lets you see detailed transit schedules, live departure times, arrival times, the current location of the bus or train on your route, and system connections to help you plan your journey. It also includes important real‑time information like outages.4
With Indoor Maps, you can get detailed directions inside major airports and shopping centers around the world. Find out which restaurants are past security at the airport, where the nearest restroom is, or what floor your favorite store is on at the mall.
Explore select cities with an interactive 3D experience that gives you a 360‑degree view of a place. And enjoy smooth and seamless transitions as you navigate your way around.
See select major metro areas from the air with photo‑realistic, immersive 3D views. You can move your device through space to experience a city from above, or explore in high resolution as you zoom, pan, tilt, and rotate around the city and its landmarks.5
Whether it’s home, work, the gym, or your kid’s school, the places you visit most often are displayed for quick, one‑tap navigation when you open Maps on your devices or on your dashboard with CarPlay.
Build collections of your favorite locations, like the best pizzerias in Chicago, or soon‑to‑be‑favorites, like sites to see in Paris. Then share them with friends and family.
Maps displays a list of the places you’re most likely to go, so you can get directions to any of the locations with just a tap. If you have an upcoming flight, it gives you up‑to‑the‑moment information about terminals, gate locations, departure times, and more.
When you perform a search, the Nearby feature lists local places you might be looking for in categories like Restaurants, Gas Stations, Coffee, Hotels, Bars, Fast Food, Groceries, and Shopping Centers. Locations are displayed on the map with colorful badges for easy route planning.
Maps helps you find your way without compromising your privacy. Personalized alerts and suggestions, like letting you know when it’s time to leave for your next appointment, are created using data on your device. And the data that is sent to Maps while you use the app — such as search terms, navigation routing, and traffic information — is associated with random identifiers instead of your Apple ID.
