Apple has just released new updates on its Maps app. These updates makes the app faster and more detailed. There are now more reasons why you should switch to Apple as the new features will be something that you can use every day.

The new Apple Maps app does not only show streets, parks, and big buildings, but it also includes small businesses, homes, bodies of water and other interesting locations. The updated Apple Maps is different compared to Maps on iOS 12. This is what puts the new Apple Maps on par with what Google Maps offers.

Other features have been added to Apple Maps and these have better Siri integration, better indoor maps of malls and airports, and a more detailed "Look Around" features. However, to help you decide on switching to Apple Maps, we have listed three features that have been added to the app according to Gear Patrol:

1. Plan trips more effectively

One of the best features in Apple Maps is what they call "collections" and the idea of this is if you are planning to have a trip let's say for example somewhere in Mexico, it will give spots that you regularly like to visit such as a coffee shops, museums, and art galleries, in a list. This is a feature that will help you navigate a place or a location that you may like to visit with other people. Through this, they will be able to go into Maps and see where exactly the place is.

2. Share your ETA 

The next best feature in the updated Apple Maps app is its ETA where you can share this with anyone that you may be meeting. By hitting that "Share ETA" while using the Apple Maps, you can share your route. Through this, they will know your destination and can estimate the time of your arrival. Most of all, if you think that you will be late due to heavy traffic, there's no need for you to text the person that you are meeting as he or she already knows. Just don't forget to click "Share ETA" with the person that you are meeting.

3. Helps you to commute better, faster, and more effectively

The feature that everyone will most likely love in the new Apple Maps app, is the real-time transit information. Apple said that it will give live and detailed transit schedule updates, this is to include departure times, arrival times, and the current location of the bus or train. Most of all, the Apple Maps app will tell you if there are any traffic issues and will help you determine alternative routes.

In order to get the updated iOS13, just make sure that your iPhone's software is updated. These are only a few of the features that are added to the Apple Maps app. Update your device now and explore the new features.
