How can I put my car on Apple Maps?

Dear Apple/Mac friends,

Residential neighborhoods are the worst. I feel like a mouse trying to find his way through a maze. Why can't residential streets be in a grid pattern like North to South and East to West? Why do they have to be in curves, circles, and dead ends?

I spend a lot of time driving through residential streets and trying to look at each individual house. I would like to be able enter a neighborhood and drive by every single house in the neighborhood without missing any. Instead, I find my self driving in circles and covering the same street once, twice, or three times. I would like to put my car on the map in real time. I have no destination such as Point A to Point B. I just want to know where I'm at in relation to the neighborhood. What kind of device would I need?

Residential streets are "in curves, circles and dead ends", mostly because they are residential streets, where people live their lives. One of the reasons for that is to attempt to cut down on through traffic. Does that make it more challenging to "drive by every single house"? Well, of course... The developer for neighborhoods and developments is under no requirement to make navigating through that development simple, except maybe for one street that connects everything. The other streets may be curvy, circular, or dead ends.
I would want to know if emergency services would have the same complaints that a salesman (?) might have.
Finally, your phone "connects" you to a GPS satellite, in effect inserting you into whatever map software you might be using.

You're assuming I'm one of those normal people who've always had a cell phone since day one.

Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.
