Maps App: The Ultimate Guide
How do you find places, get directions, discover points of interest and nearby attractions, see the world in 3D and flyover the world's greatest landmarks? With Apple's built-in Maps app, that's how!
Apple's Maps app gives you everything you need to get where you're going and find interesting places along the way. It can tell you where you are, what direction you're facing, what's nearby, and how to avoid traffic. Maps can show you the ground in 3D and can take to the sky with Flyover. It can even provide turn-by-turn voice navigation for driving, walking, and — in some regions — public transit, including buses, trains, and ferries.
