How to get information about places in Maps on iPad

You can find street addresses and other information about places that appear on maps.

A place card can show its street address, phone number, website, and customer reviews. Many restaurants and other businesses even offer App Clips that let you order or make a reservation. You can get a route to the location, save information about a place, and stop sending restaurant notifications.

Here’s how to get information about places in Maps on iPad.

Get information about a place

  1. Go to the Maps app on your iPad.
  2. Tap a place (for example, a city or landmark on a map, a spot that you marked with a pin, or a search result in Maps). Do any of the following:

    • Get a route to the location: Tap the directions button.
    • View more information: Scroll down in the place card.

      The information might include the street address, a phone number, a webpage link, customer reviews, and more. Many restaurants and other businesses offer App Clips that allow you to order or make a reservation by tapping buttons on their place cards.

Save information about a place

You can save a place or add it as a pin to one of your custom guides, or as one of your contacts.

  1. Open the Maps app on your iPad.
  2. Tap a place on a map or a search result in Maps, tap the More button, and then choose an option.

Stop sending restaurant names to a third party

If you install an app with a table-booking extension, it can help you make reservations at restaurants, too. If you’d rather not send it the names of restaurants you view, you can stop that.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Apps, then tap Maps.
  3. Tap Restaurant Booking, then turn off the app extension.
