With the arrival of iOS 14 last year, Apple added cycling directions directly into the Maps app. This new feature adds a lot of useful information for cyclists, but it's only supported in certain areas. The good news is that availability is expanding quite a bit today.
Apple launched a redesigned and improved Apple Maps experience in the United States back in 2018. It recently expanded into Canada late last year. And now it looks like it's being tested in a new region.
Just like you remove your history in Apple Maps, you can delete your search, review, and share history in Google Maps. Maybe you want to keep some items from showing up in your Recent searches or forget an entire day of Google Maps activity.
You can view and remove places from your history on your mobile device or the web. And you can choose to delete individual locations, a day or week, or every place in that history. Here, we’ll show you how to do just that, delete your Google Maps history.
You already know you can use Apple's Maps app to get directions, turn-by-turn navigation, and details on businesses. So, of course, you know you can plan a route from here to there. But did you know you could also plan a route from there to there?
You might be laying out a road trip for yourself or helping someone else get from point A to point B. In Maps, you can create a route from any location to another. You can specify the transportation type and avoid things like toll roads by default.
For making the most of Maps on Mac, where you have a nice big screen to work on, we’ll show you how to use the route planner.
In 2020, we showed you how to find COVID-19 testing locations using Apple Maps. And this is something you can still take advantage of. But luckily this time, we get to show you how to find locations in Maps offering the COVID-19 vaccine in your area.
Whether you’re considering getting the vaccine yourself or want to help a friend or family member, Maps makes it easy. On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, you can see locations offering the vaccine and even hit a simple button to make an appointment on the location’s website.
So if you’re ready, let’s get to finding COVID-19 vaccine locations in Maps.
Apple Maps continues to add new elements to make it more helpful to users, especially those trying to find information related to COVID-19.
Apple Maps customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia and other countries have now begun reporting seeing a yellow icon on their iPhone or CarPlay while navigating in case there's a fixed speed camera with its flash operational along their route.
Apple Maps is gaining a new feature today, as Apple adds the ability for users to quickly locate COVID-19 vaccination locations.
Aside from bringing out Waze-like reporting and hazard features, Apple Maps is getting another feature similar to Google Maps: real-time crowdsourced information for points of interest, such as whether a business is currently open and how busy it is at the moment.
If you are someone who opts to input precise location data for your photos, you may have noticed an issue with Apple's stock Photos app. Turns out there is a bug causing an issue with this process, leading to incorrect location data.
Apple has expanded navigation directions on its mapping service to additional markets. The company has been expanding the availability of various Maps features over the past year or so, unveiling new features to catch up to Google Maps. For example, Maps in 2020 has picked up junction view to help with the complex intersections. And with the iOS 14.5 update, Maps has gained Waze-like reporting of accidents, road hazards, speed traps, and more.
iOS 14.5 is shaping up to be a pretty big software update for the mobile operating system. Along with the other new features coming down the pipe, it looks like Apple Maps will see a significant uptick in features, too.
