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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Seeker at none against StreetView Map's 1. Seeker also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 40%). StreetView Map's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StreetView Map sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.49 per month. Seeker asks for nothing beyond the download.
StreetView Map holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of StreetView Map's written reviews are positive against 72% of Seeker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
StreetView Map ships an update monthly, Seeker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
