Getting around doesn’t
get much easier.
Find the best way
to bike there.
You can now use Maps to get cycling directions that route you along bike lanes, paths, and roads.1 Maps takes elevation into account, so you’ll be alerted if there are steep passages along the way or if you’ll need to carry your bike up stairs. You can also choose a route that avoids busier roads. And Maps offers custom cycling voice guidance and a rich experience on Apple Watch that makes it easy to navigate with a glance.
Coming Soon Take charge of your
trip with EV routing.
Now it’s easier to plan trips and find the best route for your electric vehicle. Maps can track your current vehicle charge and factor in things like elevation to automatically add charging stops along the way. It knows which type of charger works for your car, making sure to route you to compatible stations.3 And it even accounts for charging time when calculating your ETA.
A helpful heads-up
to slow down.
Maps lets you know when you’re approaching speed cameras and red‑light cameras along your route so you can anticipate potential slowing traffic ahead. You can also see where individual cameras are located on the map.
Plan your trip with real‑time transit info.
Real‑time transit information lets you see detailed transit schedules, live departure times, arrival times, the current location of the bus or train on your route, and system connections to help you plan your journey. It also includes important real‑time information like outages.4

Apple Maps Mac Street View
At the core of Apple’s map arsenal seems to be a fleet of Subaru Impreza cars that are internally referred to as Ulysses. According to Apple documents obtained by 9to5mac, each Impreza is equipped with the latest-generation high-resolution cameras that feature Zeiss lenses, LiDAR scanners, as well as a seven-year-old Mac Pro computer that’s responsible for processing all the data that is captured.
The Mac systems store the processed data on four SSDs, each with 4GB of storage, which according to the internal documents, is just enough for one week of imagery. Once the drives get full, they are shipped to Apple’s offices using UPS.
The entire configuration is powered by EyeDrive, a system that is controlled with an app installed on an iPad. The tablet is typically operated by the passenger, while the driver just goes on a route that hasn’t been scanned before.
As it turns out, Apple’s Subaru Impreza only goes out for capturing Apple Maps data during perfect weather conditions for obvious reasons. Apple has made the quality of its maps content a priority, so the cars can only be driven when clear photos are possible.
The iPad also tells the driver where to go, and the daily operations start in the morning when the sun is at 30 degrees and stop in the evening when the sun returns to the same 30 degrees angle.
