New Apple Maps app released in the U.S.

New Apple Maps First Available Only in USA

For some time, Apple has publicly stated that it will "make a highly accurate map from scratch", so is that the first step? (No, I'm sorry if it's already a couple of steps or more ^^) This time, the new Apple Maps app was first released in the United States.

It is said that it will be released in Europe in the latter half of 2020, but at the moment, there is no comment about the release in Asia including Japan.

The new Apple Map has a new design that makes navigation from point A to point B easier.

Apple Look Around (Street View)

In addition, the "Look Around" function, which is the so-called street view in Google Maps, which was also said to "get out", has been added.

It's so beautiful! ↓

It seems that it is focusing on high resolution 3D photography, but at the moment it is still available only in NY City, San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Oaf. ..

Apple Maps Collection

The Apple Maps Collection is another new feature that allows you to group (list) restaurants, places you want to visit, shops, etc. in one place and share them with your friends and family.

You can use it in various ways, such as creating a group with a list of "where you want to go for lunch" and achieving it one by one at lunch with your friends.

I would list "ramen shops to go to" and crush them one by one ... When I assumed that I would make such a list, I couldn't do something like "a fashionable cafe I want to go to". I feel the degree of uncle in me (laughs).

In addition, real-time traffic information, flight departure and arrival times, bus and train locations, etc. are all updated.

This feature is currently only available in the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington DC, NY, LA, and Miami.

The reason why only features such as real-time traffic information were added as a city where Miami can be used even though Street View is not yet available is that.NFL Super Bowl HeldIt seems that it will be held ^ ^ It will be held in Miami on February 2, 2020, so is it released in time?

Indoor map also improved

The indoor map has also improved, and many airport and shopping mall information has been updated.

Furthermore, by linking with ETA, if the flight is delayed, there is also a function to update and notify the user's contact information.

What is the new Apple Maps release date in Japan?

As I wrote at the beginning, the date when this new Apple map will be released in Europe is still undecided.

Maybe it will be later this year after WWDC (Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference) in June 2020.

This new Apple Map, as long as it's available

• iPhone
• iPad
• Mac
• Apple Watch
• Cars with Apple CarPlay

It seems that it will be available at, so if you are using Apple CarPlay, you will be able to use it at Porsche ^ ^

So, first of all, I don't know when it will be, but I'm looking forward to the update in Japan.

By the way, I'm not an Apple user, so it doesn't matter (laughs).

Last year, I encountered an Apple Maps car in Tokyo in May 2019, so I wonder if it will be released in Japan in the not too distant day. I wonder?
