As for whether that’s a useful addition or not, it’s going to depend on your location. Finally, because iOS is getting the same upgrade, Transit information can then be sent over to iOS/Watch devices for once you’re on the move.įor what it needs to do, the new Transit function works fine. The default sort is by time, with the ability to ability to select when you want to leave, all the while walking distance is helpfully listed as well in case you want to minimize walking. Doing that, Maps can then provide a list of different ways to go from one location to another, combining all available public transportation options with walking. However the biggest benefit here is using Maps to plot out trips, by getting step-by-step directions from within the Transit screen. By going into this screen you can see the major routes, but also pull up information on stations by clicking on them, a feature Apple calls a station place card. The interface for this feature is through the new Transit map option, which utilizes a pared-down version of the traditional street map with transit information such as fixed-path trains and subways. With this knowledge, Maps can now provide information on public transit, and use that information to plan out routes that utilize it.

Like its iOS counterpart, Maps has learned how to use public transportation. Up next is El Capitan’s Maps application. Safari Search Learns Some New Tricks Maps Safari has also learned some of Spotlight’s newest tricks (more on that later), able to show some of the same information directly, such as sports scores and weather. AirPlay and Safari now have the ability to hand-off unprotected HTML5 videos to the Apple TV, which under the hood works by passing the URL of the stream to Apple’s media hub. Meanwhile pinned tabs are always open so long as the browser is open, and restarting the browser and going to a pinned tab will take you to the last page that tab was showing.įinally, Apple has made a couple notable low-level tweaks to Safari. Whereas leaving the site results in the equivalent of opening a link in a new tab, with the off-site link getting its own regular tab.
If you stay within the site, then you will stay within the pinned tab.
A pinned tab is permanent (unless removed) and will always go to the site it has been pinned to, and its size reduced to just large enough to show the favicon of a site.īrowsing within a pinned tab results in a few different behaviors. Similar to Firefox, important tabs can now be pinned, to act as a combination of a tab and as a more powerful favorite. Meanwhile another major addition here is support for pinned tabs. Alternatively, holding on the aforementioned global tab audio icon, a menu will come up that lists the tabs with audio and offers similar controls. By clicking on any of the speaker icons (tab or global), you can mute the tab you’ve clicked on, or the currently active tab respectively. Going hand-in-hand with the ability to identify noisy tabs is the ability to put the kibosh on them.
A tab with active audio is identified with a speaker icon along the tab, and a second, global icon in the URL field. This is something rival Chrome has had for roughly the last year, and is extremely helpful in tracking down a noisy tab that is playing audio when you’d rather it would not, be is a video that you’ve forgotten about, or an audio-enabled ad that shouldn’t be there. First, Safari can now display which tab has audio emanating from it. I suspect the most popular of these features will be the tab audio functionality, a welcome addition that sees Safari pick up a pair of tab-related audio features. Now up to version 8.1, Apple isn’t instituting a major overhaul of Safari at this time (no more than they are the rest of the OS), but they are rolling out several new features for the browser, which like the OS itself, is essentially on a yearly cadence for feature updates. We’ll start off with Safari, OS X’s included web browser. The application updates generally fall into three categories: outright new features for OS X, new features that are being brought to OS X and iOS simultaneously, and finally features that are coming to OS X after already appearing in existing versions of iOS. We’ll start off our look at El Capitan with a look at the major application updates in the OS.
