iPhone maker Apple is rolling out a new web interface for its Apple Maps.
This means users can now get access to the feature through the web which was never done before. The company announced the news through a press release where it shed light on using Apple Maps via the Chrome or Safari browser found on Macs and iPads and even Windows PCs now.
The company says the launch is currently in its public beta and would include a host of offerings like providing directions, a list of nearby businesses, and more user points of interest amongst others. But wait, there is more to come as the feature will entail more innovation in the upcoming months like an exciting Look Around feature.
At the moment, users cannot log into their Apple IDs through the web to get access to any saved locations and customized Guides. With time, that is going to change.
We can only imagine how useful this rollout can be as Apple Maps not only gives directions for driving and walking but also helps in exploring great destinations and useful data such as hours, images, reviews, and more.
You can take swift actions including food orders through the place card and even explore Guides for great new locations where to shop, eat, and travel in various global cities.
The Cupertino firm says developers will also be given the chance to provide links to the app through the Web. Hence, this would add simplicity at the user’s end in terms of getting directions and seeing what type of detailed data about locations is present.
For now, any users can try out the app on the web by paying the website beta.maps.apple.com a visit. It’s only in English for now but with time, the iPhone maker hopes to roll out more languages to facilitate global users as well as the option to use more browsers and use the app on different platforms too. Sounds exciting to us, what about you?
Clearly, Apple Maps isn’t as famous as Google Maps but with such subtle changes, we don’t see why users aren’t going to love the latest rollout even more than before. Until then, we’ll keep you updated on what else you can expect when Apple unleashes them.
