Apple Maps App Gets Update To Display Vital Information For Travelers

Apple has updated its navigation app with helpful information related to the global health crisis that has ravaged the whole world since 2020. and now, Apple announced a partnership with Airport Council International (ACI) for a similar new feature.

The Cupertino-based tech giant said that data from the Health Measures Portal will enable Apple Maps to display guidelines for travellers, including any special requirements, such as quarantine regulations and potential restrictions that might apply for certain parts of the airports.

The warnings show up right on the page of each airport in Apple Maps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

ACI World Director General, Luis Felipe de Oliveira, explained in an announcement that the new update will help to make crucial data much more broadly accessible to passengers.

“Having this information displayed in Apple Maps will help to make this crucial data much more broadly accessible to passengers. This will help passengers to plan their journeys and be reassured that their health and safety remains a priority for the industry as we all work towards a sustained return to operations and global connectivity.”

"Collaboration remains key to a globally coordinated recovery and we are grateful to our members for the partnership we have forged to deliver this important tool that will contribute to the rebuilding of passenger confidence in air travel,” he added.

Travellers who want to get more information for each airport can head over to the Check & Fly mobile app and the passenger portal.

Also, Apple provides Apple Maps users with access to vaccination locations, with directions offered within the app. The whole thing works as straightforward as you’d expect it to, as the app allows users to search for a nearby vaccination location and then get directions to quickly navigate to it using one of the supported methods in Apple Maps.
