About
Apple Maps is a navigation app that helps you get around by car, bike, transit, or on foot with turn-by-turn directions, offline maps, and real-time traffic updates. It includes voice-guided navigation, cycling routes that account for elevation and busy streets, transit schedules for subways and buses, speed limit displays, and lane guidance. The app offers topographic maps with hiking trail information, custom walking and hiking routes with offline access, and immersive walking directions in augmented reality. You can save places to a personal library, view detailed city maps with 3D views in major cities, explore ground-level imagery via Look Around, and access your saved locations across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch through iCloud. Offline maps sync to your Watch independently, and the app includes real-time incident reporting, parking location tracking, and restaurant reservations.
