After initially working on Safari, Chrome, and Edge for Windows, Apple Maps is now working in other browsers, including Firefox and Edge for Mac.
Apple Maps in Firefox on macOS
In July, after over a decade of waiting, Apple Maps became available on the web in beta, but it worked with a limited range of browsers. In an update on Friday, it's now accessible using many more browsers.
July's introduction included support for a few popular browsers. Alongside the obvious Safari, it included support for Chrome as well as Microsoft Edge, albeit only on PC.
Under the update, the support is expanded to include Firefox in general. The Edge browser's Mac version now also works with the map.
The expansion of support is good news for the project, which could give users a viable mapping alternative to the dominant Google Maps in the browser.
Just like the other browsers, the newly supported ones include the same level of functionality, including search and a familiar mapping interface that you will find in the Apple Maps app. In lieu of turn-by-turn navigation, you can still generate directions between locations.
Guides, business information, and reviews are accessible. The Google Street View-like Look Around feature is planned for a future update.
