Hands-On With Apple's Redesigned Maps App in iOS 10
Apple's Maps app received a major overhaul in iOS 10, introducing a new look and some impressive new features. Design wise, Maps looks a lot different, with easier to access controls and destination suggestions that are front and center.
As seen in the video below, when you open the Maps app, you'll immediately see a search window and an overview of your current location. Swiping upwards from the search bar brings up options for places you might want to go, based on recent places you've visited, calendar events, appointments in your Mail app, and general user habits.

Maps in iOS 10 features traffic information en route, with options for alternative routes and routes that avoid toll roads. There's a dynamic view that allows users to zoom in and out to see what traffic conditions look like ahead, and there's an option to search along a route to find gas, food, coffee, and more while on a trip. Maps will automatically adjust routes to incorporate stops, letting you know how much time a detour will add.
When parking, Apple Maps has an awesome new feature that'll automatically remember your car location so you never forget where it is, and a new Maps extensions option for developers will let you do things like book a reservation in OpenTable or call an uber all without leaving the Maps app.

Not sure why Apple still tries to make Apple maps a thing... I only use it because CarPlay doesn't support google maps
You are aware that a great number of people actually is using this app every day... right? Not because it's mandatory on Apple devices but because it's truly useful. As someone said, it's not 2012 anymore and the experience has become really really good! And they [Apple] are STILL improving it.

Apple map isn't accurate. It almost lead me to someone's home.
Been fine for me... Only time I had issues was some of the rural areas or new buildings but I ran google maps at the same time and it told me to do the same thing.

I welcome the bottom search bar.
Always found stupid to put it on the top. Take note Google.

Nope its because people are lazy and don't want to bother looking in the App store for a better app that can't integrate with iOS due to Apples rules
Oh and my road still isn't on it even though I've lived there over 10 years

That's a really good idea for real life, but it would have ruined that great episode of Seinfeld.
