Apple Maps Latest Update for Firefox and Microsoft Edge Users

Apple recently expanded its Apple Maps on the web feature to include support for the Firefox browser . Previously , Firefox users on Mac , PC , and iPad were unable to access the Apple Maps website . However , this week , Apple updated its web - based Maps feature to allow Firefox users to visit the site and use it as intended . This update comes after Apple initially rolled out support for Apple Maps on the web in July , opening it up for public beta testing.

This move is part of Apple 's efforts to make Apple Maps more accessible across different platforms and browsers . The web interface of Apple Maps offers various functionalities , such as providing walking and driving directions , searching for locations , viewing ratings and hours , and accessing a curated collection of Guides.

In addition to the browser support expansion , Apple has also introduced new features to the Maps app , allowing users to order food directly from supported restaurants and discover places to eat , shop , and explore in cities around the world . Furthermore , Apple is working on introducing Look Around for street - level location viewing in the coming months , and developers can link out to maps on the web within their apps.

While Google Maps has long provided a web - based mapping option , Apple Maps has previously been limited to the Maps app on Apple devices . Apple Maps on the web can now be accessed through the Apple Maps website , offering users an alternative way to access mapping services . Currently , Maps on the web is only available in English , but Apple plans to add support for additional languages in the future.

With the recent addition of support for Firefox and Microsoft Edge browsers on various platforms , Apple is making strides towards enhancing the accessibility of Apple Maps . This move aligns with Apple 's commitment to providing users with more options to access and utilize their mapping services . As Apple continues to expand the capabilities of Apple Maps on the web , users can expect to see further improvements and enhancements in the future.
