Better Maps
In keeping in line with the big Maps improvements that have come to recent versions of iOS, Big Sur gets a redesigned Maps app that removes much of the cruft of the old one while also giving you access to many of the new back-end features that Apple has added to its mapping platform.
For example, you’ll now be able to make use of Apple’s curated “Guides” right from you Mac, discovering new restaurants, shops, parks, and other entertainment venues, and you can even create your own curated lists and Guides and share them with your friends and family.
Apple’s new iOS 14 Electric Vehicle routing features are also now available on the Mac, along with older iOS Maps features like Look Around and Indoor Maps. Basically, much like Messages, the new Maps app has gotten almost entirely on-par with its iPhone and iPad counterpart — you can even plan out cycling directions if you’re fortunate enough to have them available in your city already.
