Just like Google Maps, its most famous competitor, Apple Maps has a whole host of very useful, but sometimes little-known, features. A quick look…
Share your arrival time
If you have an appointment, you can tell your contact what time you need to arrive, as well as any glitches in real time by sharing your arrival time. When you are on the go, you have the ability to share your arrival time in the submenu represented by the arrow at the bottom right of the screen. Then tap Share arrival time Choose the contact you want to communicate with.
Navigation that doesn't spoil listening
If you can't stand listening to navigation voices advising you to turn right, Apple Maps has the solution for you. To do this, go to your iPhone's Settings for the Maps app, where you can enable the option Pause audio while on the road Included in Announced routesOf course, it will disrupt your listening experience a bit, but at least you won't miss the important tracks!
Public transport map
In some major cities, it is possible to display a specific map mode that clearly shows you the main public transport routes. To do this, simply, when you are on the map of one of these major cities, go to the icon in the form of a folding map located at the top right, and choose Map communications.
Fly over the city in a helicopter
Have you always wanted to know what it's like to fly over Paris, New York or Brussels in a helicopter, but never had the chance? Apple's plans give you that possibility thanks to a feature called Overhead bridgeTo access it, you must go over the city in question in the maps by searching for its name. If you see the Flyover option appear, it is possible! However, note that only major cities around the world are compatible.
Download maps for offline navigation
While it’s rare to find yourself in a completely 4G-free environment, it can still happen. Thankfully, Apple Maps now offers the following: downloading maps in preparation for offline navigation. Very handy if you have to pass through remote areas on your way. To do this, you’ll first have to identify the area that will be affected (start with an area that’s small enough to be accurate) and search for it on Apple Maps. You should see several options appear below the map, including “Download.” For more details, check out our dedicated article.
