  • Lane guidance and speed limits for major highways
  • Nearby search which helps you find points of interest such as gas stations
  • Automatically helps you remember where you parked your car
  • Helps you find the closest EV charging station
  • Tells you how much time a quick stop will add to your estimated arrival time

Vancouver, Toronto, and Edmonton join other global cities that now feature the Apple Maps update, including Amsterdam, Hong Kong, London, and Miami.
