Apple releases map application for website browsers

An Apple representative said that currently the map application (Apple Maps) on the website is still in beta (test) form and will add support platforms and languages ​​other than English in the near future.

It is known that in the past, Apple Maps was only available on Apple devices and products such as iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch , iMac, etc. Currently, Apple Maps only provides navigation features while driving. by car and walking, public transport and cycling have not yet been integrated. Or the "Look Around" feature, equivalent to Google Street View, has not been integrated yet.

But the beta version of this application on the website has links to search information about stores, restaurants... including images, opening/closing hours, reviews,... When using the application , users can interact easily by ordering food directly on the map's location information card,...

Satellite images with locations around the world are also available in standard and hybrid modes.

Developers can link externally to Apple Maps on the website so users can get directions, detailed information about locations, etc.

In fact, Apple Maps was first released in 2012. However, due to not receiving adequate investment, the early implementation of this application was a 'disaster' for Apple. Even causing CEO Tim Cook - who had just assumed the position of head of the 'Apple company' at that time - to publicly apologize.

However, recently, Apple has focused on developing and improving the Apple Maps application a lot to make it better. As a result, this application is considered to be a possible replacement for Google Maps in the future. Apple Maps is designed with security and privacy at its heart. No login is required for use, and data such as search terms and routing information is not linked to the user's personal identity. Instead, the data is linked to random identifiers and is blurred to protect user privacy.
