Did you submit a change for it?
Every new business I check thinking it won’t be on Maps or updated actually is. I’m actually surprised usually. Hah.
I submitted a new bank building that opened up near my house and it was added to Maps within a week.
Got a tip for us?

I’m not on iOS 15. When did we have this style of search, where you could sort between popular brands? I thought this was a new feature coming out with iOS 15….
Annnnnd now I can’t make it come back. Weird.
Definitely something different going on today. I noticed on my drive upstate that road name bubbles were popping up at every instance where the name of the road was going to change. This used to happen pre-iOS 13. I was also encountering Interstate shields randomly along my route, which would normally only appear when crossing, entering, or leaving said highway. In this instance, it appears that the Interstate shield was appearing at a location where there was a connection between the two directions of travel. (Where you often see police lying in wait.) Before today, approaching such connections, Apple Maps placed a standard road label with the name of the highway, such as “I-684 S”. Now it just showed the shield.

We're definitely entering the Twilight Zone now. Last time things got this funky was in the final weeks before the launch of iOS 13, IINM.
On my drive home, all Interstate shields vanished off the map, and instead, Maps showed the name of the highway instead. Then at some point, all road labels vanished completely. That hasn’t happened in a loooooong time. There must be a lot going on behind the scenes right now.
Also, there are a lot of golf courses around these parts. lol

I got 3D buildings again on the way home from sushi…and then as I started going from 45-55, they started disappearing again. Maps is such a tease…
I've come to the realization that the highway shields disappearing off the map in navigation mode may have been my fault, or rather, because Apple Maps misunderstood feedback I had sent them recently.
Currently trying to clarify and get it fixed....

The LA-SF route along the coast…by far one of my absolute favorite drives!
3D buildings are definitely on and off items. Sometimes around 40 mph but also at 20 mph. I take the same route often and there is no consistency from day to day. I wonder if I am pinging different map servers that have different parameters.

I noticed today they were visible on every route. I have to pay attention though as they definitely disappear as the map automatically goes into 2d mode when the next turn or light is announced.
I’m sort of excited though that they seem to be back for the most part. Didn’t realize how much I missed them.
Just tried it again because I was going to “avoid highways” to see what happened, but it came up as an option on its own this time.

Interesting 😎
I just tried with highways and without. Neither have me a US1 option.
iOS 13 and later, that has been standard behavior on CarPlay. When the map switches to top-down view approaching a turn, the map at that point has zoomed out to beyond the range of displaying the 3D buildings. As the map slowly zooms in again approaching the turn, usually about 800 feet out, the buildings reappear.
Oh…I know…I’ve just gotten so used to not seeing the buildings in any view.
And…I’m trying to keep my eyes on the road…
Wow…they fixed another major issue of mine! I’m telling you, the feedback page on the website yields results much faster than reporting within the app!
What’s the link to the feedback page? They fix about 5% of the things I submit by app (even after I get the notification saying they “fixed” it). I’d like to try the website method
The new splash screen for Maps in B5 explicitly mentions NYC and LA with more details, elevation data etc so I guess it‘s not just SF getting detail level 3:
Despite updating to the newest beta, I do not see any new detail for NYC or LA. It hasn’t rolled out yet
San Francisco Los Angeles San Diego New York City Washington DC and London were all announced as being introduced this year.
3-D building seem to be back permanently now.
I’ve submitted plenty of route feedback in the past, but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten this in return!
