The application of Mac Maps it becomes more and more relevant on a day-to-day basis. It is important that we have a good application on hand to locate points of interest, but it is more relevant that you provide us with as much information about it: link to website, telephone, mail, recent photographs of the place, etc.

Therefore, Apple decides to integrate Apple Maps functions into Safari. It is an option that we have incorporated into iOS, although there are many of us who use the Mac to organize and plan, and have this information always at hand when we may need it on our iPhone. In addition, those of us who are familiar with this function in iOS, we will see a lot of similarity in the Mac version. 

To see how it works, we must open Safari and power in the address bar the information we want to locate. In my example I search The City of Arts and Sciences From Valencia. immediately offers us the Maps option as a search option.

If we click on it, a card with information. In our example, we see a small snippet of Maps app, where is it located The City of Arts and Sciences, as well as the distance at which I am and the direct access to this location in Maps. We can also press en route to tell it to guide me to that point.

If we click on address or route, our location will open in Apple Maps, where we can more accurately locate the specific point or see the route suggested by Apple to reach that point.

In the Path section, Apple will take into account the real time traffic yes it is available for the area in question. We can also copy the address and paste it into a calendar event (in the second line "location") to guide us to the place of the event, even if we have it enabled, to notify us when we have to leave depending on the traffic conditions at that time.
