You step out of the subway in a new city, open your map, and still can't tell which way you're facing. So you stand there turning in circles, or walk half a block before realizing you have to turn back. With Seeker, you just start walking the way the arrow points. The screen shows an arrow toward your destination and how far away it is. Even if maps have never been your thing, you'll know which way to go. START WALKING THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE No more standing at a station exit trying to make sense of the map. Head to a meetup spot or a restaurant you've never been to without second-guessing every turn. There are no street names or turn-by-turn instructions to remember. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE STREET, NOT YOUR PHONE An arrow and a number take a quick glance, so you can look up and enjoy where you are. You'll get a notification 100 m before your destination and another when you arrive. The remaining distance and time also show on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. IN A CROWD, JUST CHECK YOUR WRIST At a festival, in a packed station or at a red light on your bike, you can check your direction without pulling out your phone. Set a destination on your iPhone and it's sent to your Apple Watch automatically. A RELIABLE GUIDE OUTDOORS When there's no road to follow, knowing "that way, 400 m" is often all you need. • Campsites • Fishing spots • Trail junctions • Beaches and ski slopes NO MORE WANDERING AROUND LOOKING FOR YOUR CAR Coming back to a huge parking lot, a trailhead or an event venue is a lot less stressful. Save your spot when you park, then follow the arrow back. EASY WITH ONE HAND Carrying bags or holding a child's hand? You can still use Seeker with one hand. The search bar sits at the bottom of the screen, within reach of your thumb. Zoom the map by sliding along the edge of the screen. No pinching needed. NEW PHONE, SAME PLACES Your saved places come with you when you switch to a new iPhone. Back up your favorites and history to iCloud and restore them by signing in with the same Apple Account. Available on the free plan too.

Rahhal is a map for trips beyond the signal: desert drives, camping, off-roading, wadis and mountains in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Download the map before you leave, save every place, record the trip and replay it in 3D. In Arabic and English. Offline Maps: - Pick the Rahhal Map Engine, download any region, then browse, search and navigate it with no signal at all. - Or use the Apple Map Engine online, with satellite and 3D views; switch at any time. Map And Navigation: - Standard, satellite, hybrid and terrain styles. - Tap any place to navigate, open it in another map app, save or share it. - Navigation is a straight line with live direction and distance; off-road there are no turns. Paste Any Location: - Paste a link from Google Maps, Apple Maps, HudHud, Waze and other map apps and Rahhal finds the place. - Or paste coordinates, a Plus Code or a geohash, drop a pin, or use the location in a photo. Coordinates work offline; links need a connection. Your Library: - Places, tracks, collections and favorites in one library with search across it all, notes and photos per place, and Google Maps lists. - Open a place to see its weather and prayer times. - Point the camera and your saved places appear over the real view with distance and direction, and so does the Qibla. Trip Recording: - One tap starts recording; it runs in the background, pauses and resumes, and picks up where it stopped if the app closes or the device restarts. - Stopping saves distance, elevation, speed, charts and every point. - Follow it on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities. - Import GPX, JSON and .rahhal files; export GPX, KML, CSV, JSON or .rahhal. 3D Track Flyover: - Replay any saved track as a cinematic flight over the real terrain, with speed, distance and elevation playing back live. CarPlay: - Navigate to a saved place, start and stop recording, browse the library and search from the car screen. Siri And Shortcuts: - Start or stop a recording, save where you are, navigate to a saved place or find the Qibla with Siri, Spotlight or the Shortcuts app. Mini-Apps: - A tap from the Yard: the Quran with a choice of reciters, prayer times and Qibla, weather and rain radar, compass, speedometer, 16 themes and 22,000 public places in Saudi Arabia. - Prayer times are computed on your device and work offline. Yard And Daily Briefing: - The Yard is your home screen: location, weather, library and mini-apps. - The Daily Briefing sums up the weather, the next prayer and what to wear, written on your device by Apple Intelligence where supported. iPad And iPhone Duo: - On iPad and the unfolded iPhone Duo, search, recording and place cards sit beside the map. - On iPad, keep the map in one Rahhal window and the Yard in another, side by side. Account And Sync: - Sign in with your phone number to sync your library across devices; what you saved before comes along. - Add a username, photo and bio to your profile. It all works offline and syncs when you are back in range. Rahhal+: One membership includes the Rahhal Map Engine, CarPlay, trip statistics, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts, augmented reality, import and export, weather, the Daily Briefing, custom themes and links from most map apps.
