    CarPlay Road trip through National Parks in the US West. CarPlay: Apple Maps or Google Maps?

    We'll be driving from Southern California to West Yellowstone, MT and back. I like the interface of Apple Maps and traditionally use it day to day, but prefer the historical data of Google Maps (and other features like 'add stop'). Which maps app would you use with CarPlay and why?

    Dumb Question...how do you add a place from Apple Maps to your Contacts?

    I thought I looked everywhere, but I probably missed it. How do you add a contact from Apple Maps to my contacts? It used to be nice because it seemed that it added more info than a normal contact when you did that. I was adding a bunch of Apple stores to my contacts. I know I can obviously cut...

    All Devices Apple maps transit

    It's been almost a year since apple released new public transportation expansion to maps... any guess about a possible launch date for new countries / improvements? So far in Germany (the currently uncovered parts) progress seem complete for a possible release, as in many cities transit station...

    I noticed today when looking at a restaurant that Instagram was using Apple maps instead of Google maps for their location map.

    General Still Can't Use Apple Maps!!!

    This is my third time in the past 12 months trying to use Apple Maps and it's failed me all three times! Last night I needed gas so I put Chevron in the search bar in Google Maps (my main map app) and it showed me a Chevron gas station right down the street. Once I got to that Chevron I decided...

    iPhone Apple Maps Fails To Give TBT Directions Under Certain Conditions

    When Apple Maps is in progress of giving directions, mapping data (updated visuals, voice feedback, etc) suddenly stops. It resumes once the phone is picked up. I’ve been trying hard to find the cause and I think I figured it out. When driving I put my phone between the seat and my thighs. It...

    iPhone Roads colors in Apple Maps

    Why does Apple maps roads color change when zooming in and zoom out? Looks like it happens only on some state highways but not Freeways/ Interstate highways. When normal: When zoomed in: And what does yellow and orange colors mean on roads? I’m on iOS 12 with iPhone 6S

    Import Google Maps starred places into Apple Maps?

    I assume the answer to this is "it's can't be done" but I thought I'd ask anyway. I have about 400 saved/starred places in Google Maps. Is there any way to: 1. Export this data from Google Maps. 2. Then import it into Apple Maps?

    iPhone Apple Maps and HOV lanes...make it stop

    Is there any way to tell Apple Maps to not use HOV lanes? It's certainly the fastest way for me to get to work in the morning, yet I can't drive in the HOV lanes or use the HOV exits. At least Google Maps and Waze allow you to select HOV lanes (or at least default to not using them).

    Why Apple services is always inferior compare to others.

    I know that Apple’s root is hardware company,but they’ve been in services business for more than a decade. Why their services business still lack behind others. For example: Apple maps should much better than it is now considering the resources they have or Apple Music is still far...

    CarPlay CarPlay - view while driving, not navigating

    Hello Community! I've been looking for it everywhere and I didn't find a comprehensive look at the Apple Maps UI in CarPlay while just driving. Currently, I have the OEM sat nav, which has this "standby" 3D view, which I like, because I can check surroundings, streets, or simply I just know...

    Kudos to Apple Maps

    Having criticised Apple Maps quite a bit, I do need to give its latest incarnation in iOS 11.1.1 some credit: 1) It correctly spotted a lane closure along the motorway (highway) while Waze did not; 2) Lane guidance has made its way into France, check out this beauty: 3) Its proposed routes...

    Uber vs Apple Maps Integration

    Since ever (iOS 10, when this function was released) I can't call (or even get price of) an Uber directly by Apple Maps. First I thought it was a privacy problem, and reset everything, with no results. Then I waited iOS11 release to clean and restore my phone, without push a backup and...

    Apple Maps Street View

    I am not sure if this has already been reported but I recently saw an Apple car driving around. The car looked very similar to the google car for google street view see attached photo. I think we can expect to see an update adding a street view feature in the near future.

    Apple Maps Fail - When will it be a Google Maps Killer?

    Truly disappointed in Apple Maps. Was navigating along Highway 290 West in the Texas Hill Country yesterday heading to a vineyard when the app instructed me to bear left and go southbound when the actual direction was to head northbound. It was the third time yesterday that the app had given...

    Voice navigation requires network connectivity in iOS 10?

    I upgraded my iPad Mini 3 to iOS 10. Now Voice Navigation only works if I am connected to a network. In previous iOS versions I would set my destination in Apple Maps while using my wireless network at home, tap Start, walk to my car and listen to voice navigation direct me to my destination...

    Maps Voice Navigation Cuts off in Car

    Since updating to iOS 10, Siri is now cut off when I use Apple Maps through my car's Bluetooth (not CarPlay, BTW). She'll go to say, for example, "Start at Smith Street," but only get through "Start at" and then stop. If I'm playing music or a podcast, it will pause for the full length of what...
