Apple Maps is a mapping service created by Apple itself to replace Google Maps as the default browser, which celebrates its twelfth anniversary this year. The beginnings of this service were complicated with problems in the maps themselves and general discomfort on the part of users. However, the evolution that it has had over the years is very good. A few hours ago, Apple has announced the surprise launch of its Apple Maps service as a free web version through a public beta.
Enjoy Apple Maps directly on its web version
Until now, only iOS, iPadOS and macOS users could explicitly use Apple Maps as a navigation engine through maps. However, a surprise move by Apple has made it possible for iOS, iPadOS and macOS users to use Apple Maps explicitly as a navigation engine through maps. a web version of Apple Maps is available available to all users accessible through this link.
Users can now get walking and driving directions; find great places and helpful information like photos, hours, ratings and reviews; take actions like ordering food directly from the Maps location card; and explore curated guides to discover places to eat, shop and explore in cities around the world. Additional features, like Look Around, will be available in the coming months.
Although most of Apple Maps’ features are not available in the web version, it is a start to bring the service to all users thanks to navigation with common web browsers. To use the service correctly, Apple require Safari y Chrome on the Mac and iPad as well as Chrome y Edge on PC and Windows. This increases compatibility and accessibility to Apple Maps from almost anywhere, regardless of whether you have an Apple device or not.
