Apple launches Apple Maps for web in Beta 

Last week, Apple launched the public beta of Apple Maps for the web, which is available in public beta, allowing users around the world to access Maps directly from their browser. Previously, this service was only available as an iPhone app.

Now, users can get driving and walking directions; find great places and useful information including photos, hours, ratings, and reviews; take actions like ordering food directly from the Maps place card; and browse curated Guides to discover places to eat, shop, and explore in cities around the world. Additional features, including Look Around, will be available in the coming months.

Maps on the web is currently available in English, and is compatible with Safari and Chrome on Mac and iPad, as well as Chrome and Edge on Windows PCs. Support for additional languages, browsers, and platforms will be expanded over time.
