New breakthroughs in Apple Maps app in iOS 18

Apple Maps in iOS 18.

Location saving feature

One of the major improvements to Apple Maps in iOS 18 is the location saving feature. Users can now easily save favorite locations with just a quick tap on the + button on the map list.

All your saved places are collected in the new Library menu, where you can also find guides, pinned places, and more. Places you've previously saved, such as when you add them to Guides, are automatically synced to your "Saved Places" list. This makes it easy to manage places by name, distance, or date added. You can also choose to display them in a list or grid, depending on your preference.

Personal notes for saved locations

One of the standout features of saving locations in Apple Maps is the ability to add personal notes. Whenever you revisit a location in your map list, the notes you created will appear, helping you remember important details about that location. This is a great way to save reference information, especially useful for users who need to remember small or important details about places they visit frequently.

Custom Walking Routes iOS 18 lets you create custom walking routes in Apple Maps, adding a more personalized experience. When using walking directions, you’ll have the option to create a custom route by tapping on the map to design your route. This feature is useful when you want to explore more scenic trails or simply take a longer route for exercise.

These custom routes can be saved for later use, saving time on future trips.

Hiking Features

- A big focus for Apple Maps in iOS 18 is to provide better support for hikers. The update brings a host of new features, including:

- Topographic maps: Apple Maps now integrates detailed topographic maps, with trail networks and information about national parks in the US, giving users a more comprehensive view when planning hiking trips.

- Offline Hikes: Apple has built thousands of hikes into Maps that users can download for offline use, which is helpful when in places without an internet connection.

- Create hiking routes: Similar to creating regular hiking routes, you can also create your own hiking routes in Maps, providing flexibility in planning personal adventures.

- Save notes for trails: For added convenience, iOS 18 also allows users to save personal notes about selected trails, making it easy to refer back to when returning to old routes.

Apple Maps in iOS 18 not only improves on features but also brings flexibility and personalization to the user experience. From saving locations, creating custom routes to powerful support for hiking trips, this update is sure to please those who use Maps on a daily basis. Apple Maps has become an increasingly reliable and useful tool for the iPhone user community.
