A new Apple Maps ‘search here’ button will quickly target specific areas


One less reason to switch back to Google Maps.

Apple Maps will finally let you manually refresh your search as you pan around to find similar destinations in adjacent (or distant) areas. In the current version, Apple Maps intermittently updates the search area as you pan around, which can get frustrating when I’m attempting to invoke (or avoid) a refresh. As reported by MacRumors, Apple Maps still auto-refreshes as you move around, but at least you no longer need to cancel your search or frantically zoom in and out, hoping for a response without direct control.
