Redesigned Apple Maps Expanding to Canada Soon

Would be nice to get the updated maps as well for Europe (eventually) and for now at least a public commitment would be nice.
Apple Pay cash missed it's big chance, since most EU countries now successfully introduced various p2p digital payment solutions that are easy to use, even cross border. Still would be nice to eventually get it though.

Pam: "Corporate would like you to find the differences in these pictures"
Creed: "Ok..."
Pam: (to camera) "They're the same picture."
Not on the same continent, but the company where I work takes this very seriously due to heavy competition.
Often it's upper management that needs convincing (not the developers or customer support) and we can use every "proof" we can get. So thank you. Hope it works out for you and them soon.
yeh, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. What I really want to see is Look Around available in Toronto. Any eta on that @MacRumors? I tried it in US cities and it's way nicer than Google's streetview.
Thank you. I guess it's not considered important for now. For any Greater Vancouver resident who wants to encourage Translink to add Apple Wallet Express Transit Mode for the Compass card there is a suggestion mechanism here: https://new.translink.ca/feedback
This has been my first public complaint about Apple Maps. I gave up on using it because it was so feeble compared to the competition. I now use Google and Waze. I can't begin to imagine the chaos if someday, Siri and Apple CarPlay control autonomous car navigation. Absolute chaos and tragedy.
Well as you can see the old map had Toronto, but on the new map Apple has also included Vancouver! The rest is apparently still polar bears...
Except you can send Interac e-transfers via text now and most banks have instituted auto deposits with e-transfers? Not really sure how it could be made any easier?
Any improvements are welcome. I'm in Canada and use Apple maps as my default for street navigation due to the ease of integration, but admit its currently useless for addresses and locations. I generally just point it to an intersection and work my own way from there. In more rural areas I usually need to fall back to Here Maps (formerly Ovi / Nokia Maps) which I've used since the dawn of phone GPS on my Nokias.
The "3d"/satellite view for my area is horribly inaccurate yet has never been updated since the launch of Apple Maps and I I'm not exactly in the middle of nowhere, I live literally across the street from a major shopping mall with one of the oldest Apple Stores in the region.

Apple Maps has to be the most terrible GPS navigation unit out now. Apple Maps has told me that I was supposed to go right and continue seven miles when the location I needed to go to was literally a turn to the left and a pull into the parking lot. Google Maps for the win.
like you I trust Apple Maps more than Google Maps - Toronto. I still at times have to resort to Gmaps for street view so I’m super happy Apple is finally past treating Canada as a bastard step black sheep child of North America and giving us this updated maps. Apples street v
Canadian banks are waiting for this! It’s that Visa and MasterCard are American companies and this Canadian banks will not get the exclusivity Apple Card requires. They could work with Barclay’s but I don’t see that occurring either.
Bro! How are you using Here Maps on iOS?! Loved how Nokia had the breadcrumbs feature of their maps back in the S60 days.
mice seen countless times Google Maps or Wayz used by UberEats or SkipTheDishes drivers still screw up with a long roundabout routes extending delivery times (no traffic nor road construction or issues) over 10/15mins Grrrrrrr!

OOOH offline mode something that again started with Nokia Maps
noice!
I'm completely upset with Apple Maps. I gave it several chances during the last years, but it's far behind Google Maps in Europe, and more concrete in Spain. Out of the big urban zones is directly unusable. But what bother me the most it's the way they map and update businesses locations and info. Maybe it's OK for moving from point A to point B, but c'mon!, it's 2020, most people use these apps also for exploring and discovering. Data is everything and Apple is not playing in the same league.
I appreciate a lot the way Apple respects my privacy, and I aspire to remove completely Google Maps in the future but I'm sorry, I'm deleting Apple Maps from my iOS/macOS devices until these basic pain points are at least partially addressed. I'm not asking being on par but at least being competitive...
One of the few Apple products that are not "Apple". Maybe they can rename it as "Xiaomi Maps"...

You do realize that utilizing their own data/mapping is being done specifically to address your concerns listed in your post? I'm guessing you live in or use Maps in areas that are still using TomTom routing and outdated POI's?
I'm completely aware, but in Europe, Apple still relies on third party data that very often is outdated and inaccurate. And that perception is even stronger outside the main cities. Creating and owning their own data it's the way, but they are still far, taking into account that they announced the "new" apple maps two years ago? and they just are starting to roll out Canada...
would love to see aapl maps sucseed
but i though canada would be mapped by now
goog maps is still king - as long as it stays free
