Apple Maps has narrowed the gap with Google Maps, now offering an internet-based model that enables users to access the service via a web browser.
As part of its latest announcement, Apple unveiled that the innovative feature is now available as a public beta for users of Safari and Google Chrome on both Mac and iPad platforms. Maps online will also be utilized in conjunction with Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows PCs. Apple notes that its Assist technology has the potential to support additional languages, browsers, and platforms in the future.
In our brief experience with it, the online version of Apple Maps functions seamlessly alongside its app counterpart, which has been available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users since its debut in 2012. Customers can explore specific landmarks, receive detailed instructions, select from a variety of guides offering insightful perspectives on certain areas, toggle between different map views, and more. The newsroom also discussed upcoming features such as Look Around, which will offer a 3D street-level view similar to Google Street View, available in the coming months.
The timing of the net model’s discharge coincides nicely with the arrival of summer vacation, featuring a range of helpful amenities for guests from July 26 to August 11. During the summer games, Apple Maps will display ephemeral venue markers, memorial shops, and popular public gathering spots, allowing visitors to easily locate essential areas throughout the event.
Visitors to Paris seeking seamless connectivity will greatly benefit from using modern online tools, especially those traveling with Windows and Mac devices. Currently, Apple Maps on the web offers a remarkable alternative to using Google Maps in an internet browser.

The simplicity of the structure was evident to observe. To the left, you’ll find three navigational tools: Search, Guides, and Instructions. Functioning identically to their counterparts within Apple’s proprietary mapping service on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.
That’s all there’s to it! Although still in its beta phase as an online version of Apple Maps, you may experience some glitches.
