Apple Maps now has public webpages for some landmarks and points of interest

<p>Apple is now publishing public web pages for landmarks and POI in its Apple Maps database: here’s one such place (https://maps.apple.com/place?address=10365%20Gorenflo%20Rd%0ADiberville%2C%20MS%20%2039540%0AUnited%20States&amp;auid=3930665398072383877&amp;ll=30.441054699999999%2C-88.889284200000006&amp;lsp=9902&amp;q=Park%20at%20Lemoyne). The website link shows details about the place such as location, name, telephone number and reviews. The design is identical to the cards in the iOS 10 Maps app.</p>
<p>When on an Apple platform, these URLs appear to act as deep links into the native Maps app. If viewing in Chrome or on a non-Apple device like Android, the fallback webpage is loaded. The purpose for these URLs is unclear, but it may possibly foreshadow a larger move by Apple to offer its own online mapping service to compete with Google Maps on the web.</p>
