I’m curious about this store, but I want to visit this store too, and if it’s popular, should I go to a nearby store? Just to see. If possible, I would like to make a decision while comparing multiple information such as current location, positional information, route, etc. without re-search each time. “Yahoo! MAP” finally solved it with tab function!

“Yahoo! MAP” with tab functionality

Finally, the web browser’s tab functionality comes to the Maps app

“Yahoo! MAP” is a map application that mainly specializes in information in Japan. It uses map data from Mapbox, and supports not only normal map display, but also aerial image display, as well as a mode that highlights railway routes and traffic jams. It is also possible to check the status of rain clouds, and topical information such as restaurants, reviews, and ratings.

Tab functionality has recently been added to the app. In web browsers, tab functionality that allows you to open and switch multiple web pages at any time is now commonplace, but the same idea applies to the Maps app.

Supports viewing aerial photos, etc.

It is also possible to check the rain cloud radar information on the map

Open up to 100 tabs

Tap the disk-shaped button that’s always displayed in the app to switch tabs, then tap the “+” button to add a new tab. Since the contents displayed in each tab are not affected by the other tabs, it is okay to switch tabs and do other research while searching for destinations.

For example, you can view a lot of detailed information about the sites you want to visit and compare them by switching tabs, compare several candidate routes, or find your favorite stores by changing the search conditions. You can create a “duplicate” of your current tab with one touch, so when you’re trying to choose between “ramen” and “curry,” you can quickly compare search results near your current location using both keywords.

Up to 100 tabs can be opened. The usability of the tab-switching screen is similar to the task-switching functionality of a smartphone operating system, and it’s easy to understand. This tab functionality may eventually spread to other map apps.

Tap the pop-up icon at the top right of the screen to go to the tab switching screen. Pop-up icons can be moved by pressing and holding

On the switch tabs screen, swipe left or right to switch screens
