Enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted experience across all the Apple devices you use to get around. Haptic Feedback on Apple Watch nudges you in the right direction so you don’t have to get out your iPhone when you’re on foot or on your bike. Calendar alerts on your Mac let you know when it’s time to stop working and go. And Maps also syncs automatically with Spotlight, Messages, and Weather to give you relevant information at all the right moments.
CarPlay brings the power and simplicity of Maps behind the wheel. It can make intelligent suggestions based on data you already store on your device, like addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars. And with a detailed map, turn‑by‑turn spoken directions, and immersive 3D experiences, it’s easier than ever to get where you need to go.
Incorrect lunch hours listed at your favorite cafe? Old mattress in the middle of the highway? Whatever issue you encounter, it’s fast and easy to report it in Maps. Edit and submit updated information about a business directly in the place card interface. Report an accident or hazard in a few simple taps. And if an incident displayed on the map has been cleared, you can report that, too.
Open Maps and tap your user account photo at the bottom of the screen to see your most used settings — like preferred mode of transit, reported issues, and favorites — all in one place. And when you open Maps on your devices or on your dashboard with CarPlay, it displays the places you visit most — so you’re always just a tap away from home, work, the gym, your kid’s school, the nearest gas station, or your favorite restaurant.
Maps delivers a great experience without Apple knowing which stores, neighborhoods, or clinics you visit. Because Maps doesn’t include a sign-in, where you go isn’t associated with your Apple Account at all. And many personalized features, like locating your parked car, are created right on your device. Data used to improve navigation, such as routes and search terms, is not associated with your identity. Instead, that information is based on random identifiers that are constantly changing.
Maps is available in over two hundred regions around the world. For information on which features are available where you are, visit the Feature Availability page.
Maps doesn’t associate your data with your Apple Account, and Apple doesn’t keep a history of where you’ve been. Many personalized features, like locating your parked car, are initiated right on your device. Data used to improve navigation, such as routes and search terms, is not associated with your identity. Instead, that information is based on random identifiers that are constantly changing.
Apple offers two ways for developers to integrate Maps into their products.
MapKit allows you to integrate Maps into your iOS, iPadOS, or macOS apps. You can display map or satellite imagery, add annotations and overlays, call out points of interest, determine information for map coordinates, and more.
MapKit JS brings interactive maps to your website — complete with annotations, overlays, and interfaces for Maps services like search and directions.
Update to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey to get the latest Maps features, including the interactive globe, 3D experiences for cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London, nearby transit, and more.
