Apple Maps Is Getting a Feature Google Maps Has Had for Years

"Rerouting" is the last thing you want Siri to tell you when you're lost in a no-signal zone on the road. Fortunately, with the iOS 17 update, you'll soon be able to use your iPhone's Maps app offline, Apple announced at its WWDC event Monday. This long-awaited feature has been available on Google Maps for years and will finally be available for iPhone users later this year.

When are people actually offline though?

Serious question. As a die hard Apple Maps user this has never been a missing feature or a concern.

It’s about time but I doubt this is going to entice many people back to Apple Maps.
