Additionally, Apple Maps is partnering with the MICHELIN Guide, The Infatuation, and Golf Digest. This amazing partnership is going to make the way you navigate better than ever before! This partnership, revealed on May 14, 2025, at 2:55 PM PDT, will allow users in the U.S. to discover recommended restaurants and golf courses in their vicinity.
Thanks to these new features, Apple Maps users can easily narrow their search to find restaurants that have earned MICHELIN ratings. These ratings are known internationally as LEED.
