Ford to Embed Apple Maps in 2027 UEV Platform
Apple Maps will be embedded directly into Ford’s Universal Electric Vehicle Platform using MapKit for Automotive SDK, bringing turn-by-turn navigation, real-time traffic, EV routing with battery preconditioning, and seamless hands-free driving enhancements like BlueCruise to Ford’s 2027 UEV lineup, with CarPlay still available as an option. The midsize EV is expected to start around $30,000, and the integration emphasizes privacy by not tying vehicle map activity to individual users while enabling route data to influence driver-assist systems.

About Apple Maps
Apple Maps is a web mapping service developed by Apple. As the default map system of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS, it provides directions and estimated times of arrival for driving, walking, cycling, and public transportation navigation. A "Flyover" mode shows certain urban centers and other places of interest in a 3D landscape composed of models of buildings and structures.
