Apple has expanded browser support for its recently launched web version of Apple Maps. Firefox users can now access the new maps interface, joining Safari and Chrome users who have had access since the beta launch last month.
The expansion of browser compatibility comes just weeks after Apple Maps made its web debut. Firefox users on Mac, PC, and iPad can now explore the full range of features offered by the web version of Apple Maps.
In addition to Firefox support, Apple has also extended compatibility to Microsoft's Edge browser on Mac and iPad platforms. Previously, Edge users could only access Apple Maps on the web through PCs.
This move aligns with Apple's stated intention to broaden support for additional browsers and platforms over time. The quick addition of Firefox compatibility demonstrates Apple's commitment to making its mapping service more accessible to a wider audience.
However, it's worth noting that Apple has not yet enabled mobile browser support for the web version of Apple Maps. iPhone users are still directed to use the native Maps app, which offers a more optimized experience on iOS devices.
While some speculate that mobile browser support could potentially pave the way for Android compatibility in the future, there's no indication from Apple that such a move is in the works.
As Apple continues to refine and expand its web-based mapping service, users can expect further improvements and possibly additional browser support in the coming months.
