In today's episode, we look at Maps - a service that Apple first introduced at WWDC in 2012 (until then, iPhones used Google Maps services).

In the panel with the route you will also find information about the distance between the two places. If you want to find out the distance between the selected place and the location, which is not your location, tap the inscription before starting navigation My location in the menu and enter the desired location. If you plan route by public transport, you can set notification regarding changes, shutdowns or canceled connections.
