What are Guides in Apple Maps?
Guides in the Apple Maps app are similar to physical or online guides you’ll find for cities or regions you want to visit. A guide normally includes locations such as landmarks, attractions, restaurants, theme parks, activities, and other places of interest in the area. In Maps, you can find curated Guides for places you plan to travel that provide lists of recommended or popular spots. You can then choose a location to get additional details for your visit. While the premade Guides in Maps are handy for finding new places, you may want to create a Guide of your own for your next trip. This is another great feature of Guides in Apple Maps.
