What is Apple Maps?
[[File:Apple Maps logo.svg|thumb|Apple Maps logo]] '''Apple Maps''' is a mapping service. It is an app that comes with every [[iPhone]], [[iPad]], [[iPod touch]], [[Apple Macintosh|Mac]], and [[Apple Watch]], but not available on the web. It gives information about local businesses and their ratings, and reads driving directions as one is driving; or on an Apple Watch, it will vibrate when one needs to turn. Apple Maps is also known for its 3D views of many major metro areas, which has been compared favorably to [[Google Earth]]. It started in 2012, but when it started many users did not trust it and went back to using [[Google Maps]]. Apple has been busy fixing it so users can trust it, and nowadays Apple Maps is used 3.5 times as much as [[Google Maps]] on devices Apple Maps is supported. At first, Apple Maps was only on [[iOS]], but Apple has made it so Apple Maps can also be used on Macs and Apple Watches. In iOS 17 update, Apple Maps users can download offline maps.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2023-06-07|title=Apple Maps Finally Lets You Download Maps for Offline Use on iOS 17|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/07/apple-maps-offline-downloads-ios-17/|access-date=2025-02-22|website=MacRumors|language=en}}</ref> == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Maps]] [[Category:Apple software]]
