Apple Maps will finally let you manually update your search while you're moving to find similar destinations in adjacent (or distant) areas. In the iOS 18 beta, Apple Maps displays a new “Search Here” button after you search for things like coffee shops or restaurants and then switch the map to a new area.
In the current version, Apple Maps intermittently updates the search area as you move, which can be frustrating when trying to invoke (or prevent) an update. As reported by MacRumorsApple Maps still updates automatically as you move, but at least you no longer need to cancel your search or frantically zoom in and out waiting for an answer without direct control.
The “Search Here” button in Apple Maps is similar to the “Search in this area” button that Google Maps has long had. It’s one of the reasons I personally turn to the latter app when looking for cafes and retro game stores in new cities.
