Apple has announced it is updating its Maps app to bring “insights, ratings, and reviews from expert sources” to the app. The update is designed to assist users in finding the best restaurants, hotels, golf courses, and more.
The app now offers options to search for and view MICHELIN-starred, Green Star, and Bib Gourmand restaurants — along with MICHELIN Key hotels — starting in the U.S., with support for additional regions coming in the future. Apple will soon add rankings and insights from The Infatuation and Golf Digest to Maps, with more expert sources to follow.
Users can search for Michelin restaurants and hotels via the filters feature in the Maps app.
Place cards in the Maps app will now reflect distinctions, descriptions, and images from expert sources. Additionally, users can now book select hotels directly from Maps and will soon have the option to schedule restaurant reservations through MICHELIN and tee times through Supreme Golf.
“MICHELIN Guide, The Infatuation, and Golf Digest are leading industry experts that consumers rely on for finding the best restaurants, hotels, and golf courses, and we’re excited to bring their valuable insights and accolades to our users in Apple Maps,” said David Dorn, Apple’s senior director of Internet Software and Services Product. “These new integrations make Maps an even more useful and seamless resource for users to discover great new places whether in their hometown or traveling somewhere new.”
Users can also view curated guides from MICHELIN Guide, The Infatuation, and Golf Digest.
