Apple Maps is a mapping service application developed by Apple Inc, for its iOS mobile operating system.

Apple Maps was announced by Scott Forstall at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2012 keynote on June 11, 2012. This uses Apple's own mapping system with data provided by a number of providers, mainly through Dutch manufacturer of navigation systems, TomTom, and a Chinese mapping company specifically for just the Chinese market version, AutoNavi.
