iPhone users in India get new feature after Apple Maps update

Apple Maps may not be the go-to navigation app for many iPhone users in India but the company is taking steps towards making it more user friendly and functional. The latest update of Apple Maps has introduced a Nearby feature. This feature, as the name suggests will provide details about grocery shops, food delivery locations, petrol pumps, ATMs and more.

In order to access this list of locations, the user will have to tap on search and then look for the locations that are operational around them. Apple Maps has also launched another nifty feature that is not available in India yet. ‘Real-time transit’ feature will now be available to new countries which includes Canada, England, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden and Wales along with some areas in Australia, China, and the United States.

While the new features will be immensely helpful for people relying on Apple Maps, similar functionality has been present on Google Maps since a few years now. The Google product recently also added some critical features to Maps for people looking for Covid-19 testing centres. The testing centres will now show up on Google Maps.
