Apple has announced in a press release that the update of Apple Maps in the US is now complete.
Tag: Apple Maps
Apple Maps launched in September 2012 with iOS 6 and is today the central mapping and navigation service within the Apple ecosystem. Apple Maps is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and CarPlay – and since 2025 also as a full-fledged web version at maps.apple.com that runs in any modern browser, making it accessible from Windows PCs and Android phones as well. After a rocky start, Apple rebuilt the service over the years entirely on its own data foundation and today offers 3D city views, Look Around, offline maps, transit routes, hiking and cycling directions, EV route planning with charging stations, indoor maps for selected airports and shopping centers, and personal collections via the Library. Through Apple Business Connect, companies can manage their own listings and contribute content directly to Apple Maps.
Apfelpatient.de collects under this tag the ongoing coverage of Apple Maps: new features across the current operating system generations, the gradual rollout of paid search ads and their significance for Apple's advertising business, regulatory topics around privacy, tracking and competition law in the EU, practical tips for offline maps, transit and travel, and comparisons with Google Maps and other navigation apps.
