Not sure what's going with Apple Maps. But since a few updates ago, Apple Maps continues to crash. Even with a new device Apple Maps still crashes. There is a serious bug that developers have not figured out yet.
 
At least they are consistent - that way you learn how to correctly pronounce it, so Siri can understand you
:D Yeah correctly wrong, just Itaglish, Portuglish, Denglish, Spanglish.

Siri(English) does not understand correctly pronounced Italian or Portuguese words, or in this case roads. While Hey Google fully understands correctly pronounced multi language, and even auto replies with the same language you started to speak/ask.
Far more advanced…

Nope, i see you never used :D , that’s exactly what i mean.

I actually do suffer from this (I might have missed some quotes in my post).
Just assumed, that if you feed back Apple Map’s crap into Siri, it will understand.
 
What?

This has been available for a while now, I’m literally looking at this feature right now in iOS 14 and I’m pretty sure it was around even before then.

What am I missing?

/edit Oooh for driving directions. This feature has been available for a while for subway/train directions.
 
Why cant they finish rolling out existing features before trying to bang the drum that they are adding new ones? Why isn't look around more widely available yet, i.e. everywhere like streetview rather than just a handful of cities? 3D mapping everywhere and even higher res aerial photography are things that should be sorted out first.

It kind of feels like they just add demos of features that never get properly released.
 
cool, I like the “new” features. I know google maps is better in many aspects but I refuse to install google maps (and YouTube for that matter) on my devices. Patience is what I need though.
 
If they get the basics right - in 2013 it was proposing some suicidal routes in Italy - luckily we survived
HAHAHA, sorry if I'm laughing but being from the boot myself, that's the most authentically Italian thing I ever heard :D
Most of our roads are absolutely horrific.

Well e.g. it brought us on a small road up in a mountain which led into a walkable path - Apple then wanted us to make a 270° degree turn down into something that looked like a slope for ski jumping.
We put in the reverse, switched back to Google Maps and survived :)

Apple maps, ski mode

ADD A STOP.

Did they add the ability to input multiple destinations along a route?? It's so crazy to me that Apple Maps has avoided adding this feature for so long.
I think they just try to keep it simple , which may is better for most users , Maps is a very good navigation app not a routing app , plus there are many route apps on the App Store , lots of them doing a good job for more demanding users. This pattern appears in all native iOS apps , they are simple but efficient , Apple could easily add a ton of features in theirs apps , but I think they would not benefit from it (more complexity for simple users, less usage of AppStore apps)

This already exists.

Umm… this has been a feature on Apple Maps transit for years at this point, with the exact same UI and features.This is just getting ported to driving directions. The writers really need to do better research about these features before writing about it.
Yeah I was really confused too cause I use this feature all the time
