Many of you will remember that Google Maps was the default maps application for iOS, then Apple Maps arrived with a bumpy landing, full of errors, but Apple got its act together and now Apple Maps is almost at the height of Google Maps. They have been improving it little by little, now we also have a street view with which to navigate through the cities, and the latest: Apple Maps just added bike routes in the United States. Keep reading as we tell you all the details of this new addition to Apple Maps.
And they do it in style, in the 50 states of the United States we can enjoy these bicycle routes. You can see it in the image that heads this post, Apple Maps gives you a estimation of time as well as the difficulty of the route based on the unevenness that we will travel. Apple Maps will give us directions through bike lanes and bike-friendly roads whenever possible. We can even see if there is stairs along a route. The Apple Watch will also be our best ally since it will offer us a voice guide and haptic pulsations so that we do not take our eyes off the road.
And apparently these routes are not only available in United States, Chinese cities, London, Barcelona, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver They also have documented areas for these bike routes, and yes, little by little they will add more cities around the world. An interesting novelty that undoubtedly improves Apple Maps by bringing it closer to Google Maps. Remember that Google Maps incorporated bike routes in 2010, Apple is late but the changes are welcome. And you, what app do you use to orient yourself in the cities? Apple Maps or Google Maps? We read you ...
