After 12 years of being exclusive to iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Apple Maps is finally available on the web! This move marks Apple's big leap into the competition with Google Maps.
What’s New?
- Web Accessibility: No longer restricted to Apple devices. Access Apple Maps on any device via the web!
- Same Great Features: Enjoy driving and walking directions, food ordering, curated guides, and reviews just like on the mobile app.
Current Limitations:
- Language Support: Currently available only in English.
- Browser Compatibility: Works with Safari and Chrome on Mac and iPad, Chrome and Edge on Windows PCs.
What’s Coming? Apple promises more language support, browser compatibility, and additional features like "Look Around" panoramic views.
The Challenge: Competing with Google Maps' extensive feature set and head start won’t be easy. However, Apple's strengths in design, privacy, and integration could help it carve out a niche in the mapping market.
