New basemap styling is coming soon to Google Maps Platform. This update to map styling includes a new default color palette, modernized pins, and improvements to map experiences and usability. All map styles will be automatically updated in March 2025. For more information on availability and how to opt in earlier, see New map style for Google Maps Platform.
Using Maps URLs, you can build a universal, cross-platform
URL to launch Google Maps and perform searches, get directions and
navigation, and display map views and panoramic images. These universal
URLs allow for broader handling of the maps requests no matter which
platform the user is on.
You can use the Google Maps URL scheme to launch the
Google Maps app for iOS and perform searches, get direction requests, and
display map views. On a device running iOS 9 and later, you can use Universal
Links to launch Google Maps when you have a
Google Maps URL.
If you want to embed a map in your app, please refer to the
Maps SDK for iOS guide to getting started.
