Driving.
Your ultimate get‑around.
Driving
Maps gives you at-a-glance information to make every drive a good one. Route planning provides ETAs for future departures based on expected traffic. As you drive, you see traffic in real time. Turn lanes, bike, bus, and taxi lanes, medians, and crosswalks are displayed in incredible detail.
Transit.
Hit all the
right stops.
Transit
Getting around town is a snap with Maps. See real-time information about transit arrival and departure times, outages, current locations of buses and trains, and connections.1 You can even be alerted when you’re approaching your stop. Nearby departures are just a tap away, and you can pin your favorite lines so the closest ones always show up at the top.

Seamless
experience.
Go from device
to device with the greatest of ease.
Seamless Experience
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. Calendar alerts on your Mac let you know when it’s time to stop working and go. Just say the word, and HomePod finds directions and sends them to your iPhone on your way out the door. And Maps also syncs automatically with Siri, Spotlight, Messages, and Weather to give you relevant information at all the right moments.
CarPlay.
Eyes on the road, not your device.
CarPlay
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 and turn‑by‑turn spoken directions, it’s easier than ever to get where you need to go.
Settings.
Quickly get to your go‑tos.
Settings
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.
Privacy
Data protection.
Keep your location
history, history.
Data Protection
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 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.
In case you missed anything.

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. 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.
