Apple Maps refresh — new hiking features are welcome but these are the ones I really wanted

A screenshot showing the new trail and hiking views coming to Apple Maps in iOS 18.

I always get excited when tech companies talk about hiking. So, when Apple announced that Maps would soon be getting topographic maps and support for hiking trails via iOS 18, I was extra jazzed.

The latest version will also let you create and save your own trail routes, download trails for offline viewing and provide turn-by-turn directions. It additionally supports popular trails at all 63 U.S. National Parks.
