Find your way indoors

Never got lost in an airport again

Navigating with Maps in iOS 11 offers extra detail as you travel from A to B. The speed limit is displayed at the top left of the screen, and lane guidance appears across the top of the screen so you can get into the correct position ahead of the next junction along your journey.

In iOS 11 the reach of Maps is extended to cover the interior of malls and airports. For the former you get detailed floor plans, along with a business directory and the ability to search for retailers, as well as browsing by floor. For airports, features such as checkpoints are marked, helping you to navigate the often labyrinthine structures and catch your flight.

As with previous features added to Maps, the list of cities in which malls and airports are covered at launch is pretty short, being mostly focused on large cities. Apple says it plans to add hundreds more indoor maps to the service every month, though.
