On iPad, you can find nearby attractions, services, and more in the Maps app. You can search by a category like Grocery Stores or Restaurants, or enter something like “playgrounds” or “parks,” and Siri can help, too. In select U.S. cities, you can even see Local Lists, with suggestions based on what people view, share, and interact with most.

Note: Nearby suggestions aren’t available in all countries or regions.
