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, turn‑by‑turn spoken directions and immersive 3D experiences, it’s easier than ever to get where you need to go.
Issues and incidents.
Have a tip? Just tap.

Issues and Incidents
Incorrect lunch hours listed at your favourite 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. And report an accident or hazard safely and easily with Siri. Just say “There’s an accident up ahead” or “There’s something on the road” and Siri will file the incident for you. If an incident displayed on the map has been cleared, you can report that too — all while keeping your hands free and your focus on the road.

your most used settings — like preferred mode of transit, reported issues and favourites — 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 petrol pump or your favourite restaurant.

Data Protection
Maps delivers a great experience without Apple knowing which stores, neighbourhoods or clinics you visit. Because Maps doesn’t include a sign-in, where you go isn’t associated with your Apple ID at all. And personalised 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 200 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 ID, and Apple doesn’t keep a history of where you’ve been. Personalised 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.

Curated Guides are lists of places created by trusted partners to help you find great places to eat, shop, meet friends or just explore. Maps offers more than 1,000 curated Guides in cities around the world. In iOS 15, tap Explore Guides in Maps to see Guides recommended by Maps editors.

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.
