Offering an all-new design and a host of innovative features, Maps makes finding and getting to your destination faster and easier than ever. And with turn-by-turn spoken directions and proactive suggestions, there’s so much to explore.1
Maps now predicts the places you’re most likely to go and suggests the fastest way to get there based on traffic, your current location, the time of day and events on your schedule. So in the morning, Maps can provide a proactive suggestion for the best route to work that avoids traffic. And any upcoming meetings on your calendar are presented with suggested routes. Simply tap the suggestion to display the directions and start navigation.
Search has been redesigned to make things easier to find. For example, if you search “restaurants,” you’ll see nearby restaurants clearly displayed on the map with colourful new badges. When multiple restaurants are packed into a small area, Maps displays a numbered badge. Just tap the badge to reveal all the places
With Maps, you get real-time traffic information to calculate your ETA. Maps gives you details on what’s causing a hold-up, so you can tell if there’s a major incident or just a temporary delay. And if traffic’s a mess, Maps offers alternative routes to save you time.
See select major metro areas from the air with photo-realistic, interactive 3D views. Explore cities in high resolution as you zoom, pan, tilt and rotate around the city and its landmarks.2
When you hear about a great new spot — like a restored drive-in movie theatre or a restaurant-slash-boutique — save it as a bookmark in Maps. And spare your future self the need to remember the names and addresses of those places all over again. iCloud stores the locations you’ve bookmarked, so they’re accessible on your Mac, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.3 iCloud also lets you send a map from your Mac running OS X Mavericks or later straight to your iPhone. When you’re signed in to iCloud on both devices, your phone shows up in the Share menu on your Mac. So you can plan your trip at your desk and get turn-by-turn voice navigation on the go.
