Apple Maps

About

Apple Maps is a free, proprietary navigation application developed by Apple, originating from the United States. It offers voice-guided navigation, real-time transit data, detailed traffic updates, and 3D city exploration through features like Look Around and Flyover. The application provides indoor maps of public places, syncs across Apple devices, and integrates with CarPlay. It also includes rated places with guides for city exploration. Key features include Siri integration, points of interest, CarPlay integration, nearby search, voice navigation, cycling directions, GPS navigation, and iCloud integration. It leverages OpenStreetMap data and requires no installation on Apple devices. User reviews highlight its superior quality compared to Google Maps, particularly the Look Around feature and the presentation of saved places. However, some users note that it relies on Yelp for place information, which can sometimes be outdated. Apple Maps competes with other navigation services like Google Maps, offering a comprehensive mapping experience for Apple users.
