Apple is bringing many new features to its map application with its new operating system iOS 18. Apple, which is now making things easier, is introducing new features for Maps. Here are 5 new Apple Maps features that will help you find your way in a place you are not familiar with.
Apple Maps will show previously saved hiking routes and trails!
Perhaps the most striking feature added to Apple Maps with iOS 18 is the “Find and follow hikes” feature. As you know, Apple’s maps application is used quite frequently by hiking enthusiasts because it shows trails. Now, for those who do not know where to go in nature, Apple has introduced the “Find and follow hikes” feature, which shows you previously saved routes in that area. In this way, Maps, which allows you to reach the best places in your region, offers many data such as time estimate, distance, route, route start and altitude. It also allows you to create and save your own route in this way.
Use the map offline!
Many people cannot access the map application when they are away from home due to internet problems. Apple Maps, which now offers the ability to download maps, saves the map in that area to your device when you select a specific location and click download. In this way, Maps, which allows you to access the map even if you are out of coverage in that area, allows you to select and download only a specific area.
You will now be able to leave more than one pin!
Pins, which allow you to mark a point on the map, have been available since the first version of Maps. However, they are limited to only one marking. When you mark another point that you do not want to forget, the first location disappears. Apple Maps, which has also been updated on this side, now allows you to make more than one marking. In this way, you will be able to mark your parking place and look at the location of your destination at the same time.
Organize your trip in your library!
Apple, which has turned the Apple Maps application into a tour guide with iOS 18, can now do many things together on the library side. Maps, which now allows you to access four categories at once, shows the places you will go, routes, marked places and guides together. In this way, it makes your trip most efficient.
New topographic map to avoid surprises!
Maps, which also brings a topographic map update for nature walkers or travel lovers, conveys all the roughnesses on the route you take thanks to its 3D view. Here, Apple Maps, which does not only provide simple height and altitude data, ensures that you do not encounter steep slopes or roughnesses that cannot be climbed suddenly during a walk or trip. More precisely, it shows you such points and gives you an idea about whether or not you should go that route.
