charge on your vehicle and your charger type
to provide customized routes. In order to access
this feature, you’ll need a BMW or Ford EV
and sync your car to your iPhone, and more
manufacturers will support it soon.
Another exciting Apple Maps feature introduced
in iOS 14 was Guides, which were curated from
a range of trusted brands. It’s also possible
to create your own guides on the best places
to visit in a city, and curated guides offer
suggestions on places to eat, shop, and explore.
At launch, Guides were available from brands
such as The Washington Post, AllTrails, and
Lonely Planet, and it’s likely that new partners
will come into the fold in the years ahead.
In 2019, Apple started rolling out a refreshed
Maps design with more detail for elements like
roads, buildings, parks, beaches, marinas, forests,
and more and the company has added locations
as part of the iOS 14 update. Canada, Ireland,
and the United Kingdom received refreshed
maps designs, bringing the service in line with
the maps experience offered to users in the
United States since 2019.
Other new changes introduced include speed
cameras and red-light camera alerts, a refine
location setting which can offer highly accurate
location readings to better orient yourself, and
support for Congestion Zones in cities such as
London and Paris, supporting toll roads and
routing around them if you prefer. In some cities
where traffic is limited by your license plate,
Apple Maps supports license plate info so you
can know whether you’re able to use them - a
highly convenient feature for modern drivers on
metropolitan roads.
