How to explore places with guides in Maps on iPad

Guides are available to help you discover great places around the world to eat, shop, and explore. Guides are automatically updated when new places are added, so you always have the latest recommendations.

You can browse guides by city, interest, or publisher, and view, share, and save the ones you like, and in select U.S. cities, you can see what’s trending, like restaurants or kid-friendly spots.

Here’s how to explore places with guides in Maps on iPad.
