The UK has the new maps, but they were surveying for look around or I assume they were last year. Was gutted to find out Italy & Spain already have this before us!🤣
Got a tip for us?

Apple Maps Gaining Support for Multi-Stop Routing in iOS 16 and Expanding New Maps to 11 More Countries

Probably because it requires work from the car manufacturers and they work slowly
Obviously improvements are impossible and no other app makes mistakes
Australia has already had the ‘new’ Apple Maps for a while now?
Anyway, great news about multi-stop routing. Way way way overdue and the one of the few things that was keeping me occasionally using Google Maps.
Its really sad "Palestinian territories" are getting this feature, but a country like Brazil is still out of this.
I'm in Canada, there's a Costco is 5 minutes away from me.
"Hey Siri, get me directions to the nearest Costco"
"Now getting you directions to a random Costco in Missouri".
That's the only thing I want them to fix. I'm not sure if it's a Canada thing but asking Siri for directions to any store always send me to a location that isn't anywhere near me, most of the time, not even in Canada

I think most of us would agree with you. The feature is LONG overdue. But let us be excited nonetheless! 😃
I have been using Apple Maps exclusively over the past year and I am ready to switch back to Google Maps. Street closures are either shown days after or just never. One street has been closed for almost two months now and it still isn’t in maps. Business locations are inaccurate sometimes and Apple doesn’t react to its own feedback function. And for some reason you can still not change the language independently from the system language. It’s so close to being great yet so far 
Woohoo The Netherlands
finally! Also, the Apple translate app will translate from/to Dutch in iOS 16 so I can ditch Google Translate.

Good luck with that. I have tried and it does not come close to Google Translate in accuracy (both German and Spanish translations are off way more times than I‘d like to count). And Google Translate isn’t even the best out there… Some things Apple does are still “a work in progress”…Woohoo The Netherlands

Odd seeing "Palestinian Territories" during wwdc as a 'country' and not just Palestine, so basically apple 'means' Israeli occupied areas of Palestine such as East Jerusalem, settlements an West bank and occupied areas such as Hebron etc but being under pressure from Israel(Apple also uses a lot of Israeli contractors to do the mapping and software) they watered down the term.
Apple has already been caused offence by removing Palestine from its maps before so this further adds insult because "Palestinian Territory" just means Israel occupied land with a suger coated name (somehow I doubt Gaza has been mapped..)

Multi stop routing is a good addition. Would like to see the detailed Apple Maps expand to more regions.
I’ve wanted multi stop routing for a long time. Sometimes I’d have to use Google maps if it was really important
I keep trying it once and awhile after "improvements" and still find it inferior for directions. Hopefully it gets there eventually. Still feels like this was a waste of resources for Apple based how complex this type of app is with plenty of good third party options. But I get it, they want their OS to do all the main things people use on a daily basis.
You're not missing much. Google maps is still at least just as good and most likely still better after these updates would be my guess. At least at getting you where you want to go in the quickest or most efficient manner.
My girlfriend laughed at this part of the presentation, saying “Google maps has had that for ages!”
She’s got a MacBook Pro, but has been deeply averse to iPhones. She recently considered the iPhone SE, but went with another Droid phone because of some screen & battery differences that I told her probably aren’t what she thinks (I tried to explain PPI issues, and suggested that a larger battery capacity might mean the droid phone uses more power, not that it lasts longer).
She didn’t want a big phone (she has small hands), but didn’t like the price of Apple’s “cheapest” iPhone. “That’s a lot of money to spend on something I could drop easily, and the Droid phone has better battery and screen.”
She uses Google’s services a lot. She’s an example of the mass populous where she sort of knows Google isn’t a good entity, but doesn’t think it matters enough to actually change her usage, especially when it will require change to routines and cost her more money for Apple hardware. I don’t blame her, since Apple has so many unfixed bugs, it’s no longer the better option; it’s merely the less bad option.
Apple really ought to consider taking a little less profit to get more customers, and do more refining of existing features instead of pushing new ones to sell the same damn devices over & over… but today’s Apple is a Wall Street slave.
