Apple has introduced its mapping technology to devices outside its ecosystem with a web version that works in Chrome and Edge on Windows computers.
Apple Maps: 10 important tips & Tricks you MUST KNOW!
Apple launched the web version of its mapping service in beta form yesterday, 12 years after the technology's less than stellar debut. Things have improved in the intervening decade or so, and Apple has decided that users outside the walled garden can now get in on the fun.
According to Apple, Maps on the Web is currently available in English and will work on Safari, Edge and Chrome on a Mac or iPad, and Edge and Chrome on a PC.

Statcounter figures show Firefox's desktop browser market share as a close fourth behind Safari.
