Overview

  • As of August 7, Apple Maps offers cycling directions in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
  • Before this update, East Asian support for bike routing was restricted to mainland China and Japan.
  • Routes prioritize bike lanes and dedicated paths, and warn riders about steep inclines, stairs and other obstacles.
  • Initial availability focuses on popular urban routes, with coverage expanding to residential and lower-density areas over time.
  • Apple’s public list of supported regions has yet to include Taiwan and Hong Kong but should update as more areas go live.
