View maps and find locations on Apple Vision Pro

The Maps app is an iPad app that works with Apple Vision Pro. In Maps, you can find your location on a map, find nearby attractions, and zoom in and out to see the details you need. When you find a place, such as a restaurant, you can make reservations and see more information about it, such as accepted payment methods and parking availability.

In selected towns and cities, Maps provides enhanced detail for elevation, roads, trees, buildings, landmarks and more.

WARNING: Never use Apple Vision Pro while operating a moving vehicle, bicycle, heavy machinery, or in any other situations requiring attention to safety. For important information about navigation and avoiding distractions that could lead to dangerous situations, see Prepare your space before using Apple Vision Pro.
