Apple Maps UK - Ramp Up / Recent Changes

[steve62388]

My home address is in the wrong location, in fact the whole street numbering is stuffed up. It's causing problems because delivery drivers are going to the wrong location. I have reported it via Apple maps over ten times and it has never been fixed. I need to speak to someone higher up directly, anyone know who and how?

I have submitted probably around 20 updates to POI etc in the last 3-4 weeks and every single one has been updated and I have been notified within 7 days. Much better.

Let down tonight as maps told me I'd be home in 30 minutes. I ended up stuck on a dual carriageway closed due to an earlier accident.

It appears there's currently no live traffic conditions in the UK

I almost immediately requested my home apartment address to be added to Apple Maps via previous iPhone 5.

Very disappointed as it's never been added.

Home address not recognised, falls short of Google maps.my

Just requested my home address to be added this morning via macbook, a few years after reporting this via maps.

When Apple Maps first launched, it was a bit hit and miss on whether Apple would even acknowledge your change request. I have found this to be a lot better and quicker recently. Usually find POI's fixed within a week, but larger requests like an updated satellite imagery are ignored still.

I find that POI corrections are frequent but if I try to correct map errors- like missing footpaths, shortcuts possible on foot and so on - then a) it's hard to express this with the options given and b) they have never corrected them

*Update*

Looks like ahead of the WWDC, Apple are rolling out live train information & transportation for the South & Midlands of the U.K. Expanding from just London.

In other news though, all bus stops / most Uk bus stops were removed a few weeks back - outside London.

This has made my day! I've been moaning on these forums about the lack of public transit directions outside London for ages. I'm actually almost sure Apple do read these forums. Stuff I and many others asked for last year appeared in iOS 9.

They are slowly rolling out expansions and improvements to transport directions/information all over the world, I don't think it's due to reading this thread
