Go Here vs Apple Maps guides
Compare · Updated November 3, 2026
The short answer
Apple Maps guides are built into iPhone, iPad and Mac: collect places into a guide, sync it through iCloud, share it as a link, and browse publishers’ guides beside your own. Go Here is a map per city with your note and rating on every spot, which anyone opens in a browser on any phone, friends can add to with an invite link, and where single spots can be kept back.
Where Apple Maps is the better fit
- Already on every iPhone, iPad and Mac, synced through iCloud.
- Directions and place details are right in the same app.
- Guides from publishers for many cities.
Where Go Here is
- A note, a rating out of 10, pictures and been or to go on every spot.
- An invite link lets friends add their own spots to your map.
- Hide keeps a spot off every link you share.
- Places read out of videos, posts, screenshots and pasted lists.
- The same map in any browser, on Android and Windows as on iPhone.
Using both
Directions on any Go Here spot opens it in Apple Maps, so the map you plan with and the app you walk with can be different ones.
Questions
Can I share an Apple Maps guide with someone on Android?
Apple Maps guides share as a link. A Go Here list is a web page from the start, so it opens the same on Android, Windows or iPhone.
Can friends add places to my Go Here map?
Yes. Send the invite link instead of the view link and they can add spots; the ones you added stay yours to edit.
