Apple Maps finally comes to the web

More than a decade after it launched on phones, Apple Maps is now also available in your preferred computer's web browser window.

Touted as a beta release, this version of Apple Maps can be found at https://beta.maps.apple.com/ (removing the "beta" part will land you at Apple's landing page for the mobile version of Maps).

For Apple users, this isn't a huge deal as Maps is already available as a standalone desktop app on Macs, but now you can access it from any browser which is...nice, I guess?

Many of the features from the desktop app are missing in the browser version. The interface is pretty sparse, offering only Search, Guides, and Directions, while the data layers on offer are Standard, Hybrid, and Satellite (the desktop app version also has a 3D toggle, Apple's Look Around function, additional data layers, and more).

According to Apple, additional features, including Look Around, will be available "in the coming months."
