Updates on Apple Maps iOS 11 make everyone want to use it

Three years ago, iPhone users didn't have to spend much time thinking about wanting to switch from Apple Maps to Google Maps. Apple Maps interface is not intuitive, while Google Maps is much easier to see and believe. With lots of bugs, horizontal stripes or misleading directions when launching in 2012, many users have to consider carefully before trusting Apple Maps.

Since then, many people's opinions about Apple Maps have remained unchanged, until the arrival of iOS 11 was revealed in June.

The new iPhone operating system, which is coming out in a few weeks, brings significant changes on Apple Maps. Not only does it make it a more stable map application, Apple Maps can finally be on par or even better than Google Maps.

Nearly five years after its launch, updates on the new Apple Maps put it on par with Google's products. Here are the updates that will be available on Apple Maps on iOS 11.

Directions for the lane will indicate which lane to enter before turning or leaving the expressway.

Guide lanes on Apple Maps

Google also offers the only lane feature that most removable GPS devices have. But the Apple interface looks more modern than Google's and it's nice to see the number of display lanes very prominent above. This feature is especially useful when driving on multi-lane roads in the area of ​​winter traffic.

Speed ​​limits are always displayed in the corner of the screen.

Unless you live in San Francisco or Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, you won't see the speed limit on Google Maps. Apple doesn't say anything about limiting the speed displayed on the Maps application. When traveling on the road, it is easy to get a speed trap or don't notice, so the speed limit is always displayed, which helps many drivers avoid ticket fines.

Indicating the path to light up, you can see the whole path and choose another alternative.

Combining two types of road views on Google Maps

Google only brings two forms of maps at the present time: turn directions only (quiet or have a voice) and look at the panoramic street. But Apple is creating a hybrid that makes way easier.

Apple added hundreds of indoor maps on iOS 11. The airport map will show the location of the guard, helping to find the nearest WC, shops and restaurants.

Searching for some locations on the airport may take a long time. Indoor maps will more or less help you find your way. Google also offers indoor maps but its features are limited. Apple maps will not be available on all airports and supermarkets but will support popular locations.

The application shows which floor the product is selling for, find the product or limit the shopping destination to search by category.
