Apple Maps has received its biggest update in years thanks to iOS 18. Apple has crammed in a whole heap of new features for walking and hiking, as well as changes that make it easier to manage saved locations, find new places, use the app offline, and more.
You can now get a topographic view of hiking trails to help you better plan and understand the path you’ll be taking (note that it’s limited to the U.S. and Japan for now), and routes can be saved for offline viewing, which is helpful if you’ll be visiting an area with very poor cell reception. Elsewhere, locations are now better organized in the app’s library, with categories for Pinned, Places, Guides and Routes, making it easier to sort through all your saved spots.
