Apple Maps is a web mapping service developed by Apple Inc. The default map system of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS, it provides directions and estimated times of arrival for driving, walking, cycling, and public transportation navigation.

In those early days, Apple's Maps had problems, from missing to mislabeled places to a lack of basic features like turn-by-turn directions. These features were eventually added, but they were not good. I remember asking the app for a route and seeing immediately that it had added absurd detours, for example.

Open Apple Maps There are a couple of ways to open the app: Simply tap on the app icon wherever it resides on your homescreen. Tap “Apple Maps” from your today view by swiping right from your homescreen. Click an address from a website, text message, or email, and Apple should automatically open Maps to that location.
