At this time, it is only compatible with a relatively small number of browsers and devices.
Beyond the confines of its app, Apple Maps is expanding. As was the case with Google Maps, the service is now accessible via the internet, albeit on a beta basis at the time of this writing.
For the time being, there are some restrictions. Availability will vary depending on the region, and at the beginning, Maps will only be accessible on the web in the English language. According to the current state of affairs, you can browse Apple Maps on your Mac or iPad by using Safari or Chrome. The service is accessible to users of Windows PCs through the usage of Chrome and Edge. Despite the fact that Apple has stated that it will eventually broaden the web experience to include other languages, devices, and browsers, iPhone users will be required to continue using the Maps app for the time being.
Directions, guides, opening hours, reviews, and other helpful information for businesses are all included in the web version of Apple Maps. Additionally, actions such as ordering food are included if you use the web version. Within the next few months, Apple will be introducing additional capabilities, one of which is called Look Around, which is the company’s version of street View.
After limiting Maps to a mobile application for a considerable amount of time, Apple may now be attempting to compete with Google in its own game. When it comes to Google Maps, for example, developers have been able to embed a portion of a map on websites for quite some time. In order to provide its users with driving directions, information about locations, and other information, Apple has stated that developers will be allowed to link to its maps on the web.
Taking Apple Maps beyond the confines of the app is a brilliant idea that has the potential to attract more users’ attention. Additionally, the corporation began providing a web-based version of Apple Music when it was founded several years ago.
