Apple Maps announced a collaboration with the MICHELIN Guide, The Infatuation, and Golf Digest to help users find recommended restaurants and golf courses in their area.
Starting in the U.S., users will be able to filter their Maps searches to see restaurants with MICHELIN ratings, which denote exceptional dining experiences. But if you’re on the go, you’re probably not making a last-minute MICHELIN booking — but options from The Infatuation, a restaurant recommendation website, can help fill in the gaps.
Though the MICHELIN Guide is most well-known for its dining expertise, it also offers hotel recommendations and booking services, which will also be available on Apple Maps.
The Golf Digest integration on Maps will function similarly, allowing users to filter their searches to find recommended golf courses — but we imagine more users will be looking for places to eat, rather than to tee off.
These partners will also contribute to Apple Maps’ curated guides, which can help travelers find their way to top destinations on a visit.
