Apple Maps launches on the web to challenge Google Maps
Apple Maps is now available on the web in public beta, challenging Google Maps with similar features.
Apple announced that Apple Maps is now available on the web in public beta, directly accessible from your browser. The service, available in English, is compatible with Safari and Chrome on Mac and iPad, as well as Chrome and Edge on Windows PCs.
Apple Maps on the web functions similarly to its mobile counterpart, offering driving and walking directions, food ordering from place cards, and access to curated guides and reviews. In the coming months, Apple plans to introduce additional functionalities like the “Look Around” feature to the web version.
Developers can link to Maps on the web, providing users with driving directions and detailed place information. By expanding Apple Maps to the web, Apple aims to attract more users and compete directly with Google Maps, which has been the dominant web mapping service for years.
