    iCloud Maps library not synching across devices

    My old iPhone, my new iPhone and my iPad are all on the same Apple ID, they all have maps synching via iCloud turned on, but my library of locations isn’t the same on all devices. My iPad and my new iPhone are on parity, but the library I want everywhere is the one on my old phone. I tried...

    WTF?? Am I crazy or is Maps borked?

    The first issue is a long standing issue where Maps fails to locate me (while FindMy has no issue). More so... what in the world is going on with the UI with Maps? On the left there's Siri Suggestions, Library, and Recents. You have to select something under Library then the "Library" slides...

    iPhone iOS 10 Maps app still works in 2024

    I purchased a pre-owned iPhone 5c 32GB last week and was surprised to know that the iOS 10 version of Maps, specifically iOS 10.3.3, still works... Maps on iPod touch 5 running iOS 9.3.5 seems to no longer work and no longer displays any map information at all... You can still log in to...

    iPhone Apple Maps

    Over the past month or so, I've started using Apple Carplay, and thus using Waze for directions and such. In an effort to get more integrated with Apple, I have been using Maps for about a week. Okay, someone explain, why is Maps awful? I've been using it to test going to work and home. And...

    Poll: Preferred Maps App in 2024 - Apple vs Google vs Others

    Curious on where the community stands on maps app usage these days. I couldn’t be a bigger Apple fanboy, but I still can’t come around to switching to Apple Maps. Most of my non-tech friends though do prefer Apple Maps which I find interesting. For me — something about the location search...

    Apple Maps have been updated in Denmark. Finally!

    I’ve been wanting the “Street view” and “Bicycle route” feature for quite some time. Today I discovered that it’s suddenly available for me here in Denmark. I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere? It looks like the new detailed maps also is available out of the blue. Nice surprise but I’m curious...

    Maps on Mac: Why can't I share this route?

    A friend is coming to visit but wants to *mostly* take back roads, plus a portion of a bypass. I created the route in Maps on my Mac, but the Share button is disabled. I read where the "&" can mess that up, but when I replace it with "and" the route changes. What gives?

    iPhone 13 Pro Apple Maps doesn’t count down distance when navigating

    When you put in a location to navigate to it doesn’t count down the distance to the next turn etc. like it used to (I’m on the latest update). I’m on holiday in Vietnam and using my watch for maps a lot, and it’s annoying having to constantly check my watch as I don’t know how far I am from...

    Glitchy Carplay maps since iOS 16.6.1

    Didn't see this mentioned anywhere else so curious if I'm the only one with this issue. Since the update to 16.6.1 last week, I've been having glitchy maps in CarPlay like the image attached. As I continue to drive, it's almost like it's clearing the map tiles from memory too early because the...

    16.1 on iPhone 12 Pro – CarPlay GPS has gone all wonky, totally unusable

    Location accuracy is soooo bad, on top of being really laggy, it's actually unusable for city driving where I live. Was working fine before the update. Affects all GPS apps, it seems. I see that there was an early GPS bug with iPhones 14, and this sounds similar, but I have a 12 Pro. This is...

    No longer add contacts via Apple Maps

    Before iOS 16 I used to be able to add a contact via Apple maps. I found this very useful. I would do it for every number I called.

    Maps: Spoken directions for transit?

    Does anyone know if it is pods to get spoken directions when in transit mode? In NYC and many cities, transit travel requires a combo of walking and subway and/or bus, and I’d love the audio guidance. Doing an online search, this Apple page cites an Audio button on a map, but I can’t find one!

    IOS UX getting worse year after year?

    There have been a lot of changes to the UX I really hate over the last iOS version, the biggest one is the trend towards subfolders In iOS16 I’ve noticed 3 new ones: - In Maps, you now have to tap twice to change the type of transport, once to open the subfolder and once to choose it. I suppose...

    Map Information Not Showing Up on Some Photos

    I went on a two week trip and took lots of pictures using my iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 15.5. When I look at the photos during this trip the map information does not show (see gray section on included screen capture). It shows in text the location of the photo but no map data. I did not change...

    The only filter I have on is “open now.” What is being “matched?”

    HomeKit Wrong location in HomeKit Automations

    I have recently moved to a new address and have changed my home address in my contacts card, in maps as well as in my Apple ID settings. Since moving my lights will randomly go off and music will pause at the same time randomly on my HomePods/Apple TV. I was confused why this happened, until I...
