I couldn't find specific information about changes to SwiftUI Map in iOS 26 from the provided context. However, there are updates related to MapKit in watchOS 26, which might be relevant if you're interested in SwiftUI and map-related features across Apple's platforms. In watchOS 26, there are new features available for MapKit, such as searching for nearby points of interest, getting routes using different transport types, and showing routes as overlays on a map with SwiftUI. These features use the same API familiar from iOS, which could imply similar updates might be available in iOS 26 as well.
For more detailed information, you might want to check out the session "Meet MapKit for SwiftUI" mentioned in the context of watchOS 26.
