MAPS HAS BEEN one of the stars on Apple Watch since the very first version, and hopefully we've now all got a bit more used to getting vibrations when driving. Apple has given it a visual makeover for watchOS 10, but the core app works just as it always did; you can get real-time directions, select from a range of transport including walking, cyling, and public transit, and locate nearby places ranging from restaurants and coffee shops to parking and service stations.
INTEGRATION EASE
One of the best things about the Maps app on watchOS is that it integrates tightly with the same app on Mac, iPhone and iPad, so it remembers trips you've planned on those devices and enables you to quickly access them from your Watch. And if you regularly drive to places with big parking lots, you'll love the way your Watch remembers where you parked your vehicle if you connect to its in-car entertainment via CarPlay or through Bluetooth.
In addition to the visual improvements, you'll see in our screenshots that watchOS 10 also brings some significant feature upgrades, such as the new topographic maps with contour lines, elevation and more. iOS 17's new Offline Maps mode will work with Apple Watch, too, so you'll be able to plan ahead and download maps for areas where you're not sure you'll be able to get a decent cell signal. Let's take a look at some of the key features for traveling with Maps for Apple Watch. CARRIE MARSHALL
