Apple announced on Wednesday that Apple Maps is now available on the web via a public beta. The launch puts Apple Maps in direct competition with Google Maps, which has long been available on the web.
With this launch, you can now access Apple Maps directly from your browser.
Maps on the web is accessible in English, and is compatible with Safari and Chrome on Mac and iPad, as well as Chrome and Edge on Windows PCs. Apple plans to bring support for additional languages, browsers and platforms in the future.
Apple Maps on the web works like the mobile app, as it lets you get driving and walking directions, order food from the Maps place card, browse curated guides and reviews, and more. Apple plans to bring additional features like Look Around to the web version in the coming months.
Apple notes that developers can link out to Maps on the web, allowing their users to get driving directions, see detailed place information, and more.
The launch of web version of Apple Maps comes 12 years after Apple launched the service on the iPhone.
