    iPhone Apple Maps Average Speed Cameras

    I have been trying out Apple Maps after many years of TomTom. Seems to be working well and I mainly prefer it. Only thing that will make me return to TomTom is the lack of average speed cameras. It warns of fixed speed and red light cameras but not average speed. Am I missing something here to...

    I've been having problems for weeks using Apple Maps on MBP, iPad and iPhone. It started off when I was unable to access satellite images for anywhere I was searching. Then I noticed that although Maps defaults to explore mode of my immediate vicinity, but if for example I want to look up...

    Universal [MAPS] I can't report a street, because it has no name...

    Apple Maps often tries to guide me through a dirt road that can be used only by bikes and pedestrians. It is a nameless road that is so minor that I can't even report, because reporting pin doesn't want to stick to it. It is so annoying... Travel mode is of course set to car

    Poll: Preferred Maps App in 2024 - Apple vs Google vs Others

    Curious on where the community stands on maps app usage these days. I couldn’t be a bigger Apple fanboy, but I still can’t come around to switching to Apple Maps. Most of my non-tech friends though do prefer Apple Maps which I find interesting. For me — something about the location search...

    Apple Maps very low 3D performance on Ventura/Sonoma on Intel Macs

    Hi, The 3D performance of Maps in Ventura/Sonoma on Intel Macs is very low! If you switch to 3D Satelite View (New York for example), dragging, rotating etc lags very much! Even if you have powerful hardware! I observe this on a Mac Pro 12-Core with AMD Pro Vega II. By looking at the Activity...

    I live in Japan. My iPhone uses English as its primary language, and the region is set to the US. Apple Maps gives a correct address for my residence. However, when I add my address to my Contact card as my home, either through Apple Maps or manually, Apple Maps won’t recognize it. It won’t...

    When you put in a location to navigate to it doesn’t count down the distance to the next turn etc. like it used to (I’m on the latest update). I’m on holiday in Vietnam and using my watch for maps a lot, and it’s annoying having to constantly check my watch as I don’t know how far I am from...

    Hi everybody! I used to frequently add looked-up addresses in Apple Maps to my Contacts.

The Contacts app opens, I can select a...

    Changes to Apple Maps via CarPlay on iOS 15 makes accessing features more-dangerous

    I'm using Apple Maps via CarPlay for integrated vehicle navigation. I've had it since iOS 14.x. It works well, and has been great. However a subtle change introduced in iOS15 seems to be a step-backwards in my opinion. Previously, iOS 14 provided a feature where if you wished to mute the...
