Apple Maps will finally let you manually refresh your search as you pan around 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 shift the map to a new area.

In the current version, Apple Maps intermittently updates the search area as you pan around, which can get frustrating when I’m attempting to invoke (or avoid) a refresh. As reported by MacRumors, Apple Maps still auto-refreshes as you move around, but at least you no longer need to cancel your search or frantically zoom in and out, hoping for a response without direct control.

The “search here” button in Apple Maps is similar to the “search this area” button that Google Maps has had for a long time. It’s one of the reasons I personally jump over to the latter app when looking for coffee shops and retro game stores in new cities.
