Someone just trying to keep the drive-thru lines short for themself.
BP station issue in FL apparently fixed.
The long national nightmare is over!
I just posted this as a response on Reddit, but guessing that 15.2 and full LookAround/detailed street features could be released on the same day either as early as this week or by next week.
I hope you’re right about the detailed street features. It’s weird how they’re implemented. It seems connected with the ultra-detailed City Experiences, but then it also appears to be tied in with the existing Look Around availability.
But even when you go way out to the far northern suburbs of Westchester County, or even parts of central/northern New Jersey, the full details of the City Experience are available even there, with the elevations, tree details, and building colors. It’s not limited to just the main city. More like, once Apple decides “this city” will have City Experience activated, every area that has Look Around around that city gets it too.
This might be new…just opened Apple Maps and zoomed out quite far. Smaller highway shields seem to now be visible when zooming out like this. Don’t remember it looking like this before. I think Apple may have refreshed the County Route shields as well.
What’s indicating that to you?
Got my first dose of ultra detail last night in Manhattan. Wow!
I know I have been saying this for 6 months, but I truly believe Apple throttled the reporting feature and limited it to a certain number of reports per incident or specific users maybe….and I think they just opened the throttle with the latest beta.
I’m seeing reports all over the place now and on a regular basis. Certainly not nearly as much as Waze, but seeing them nonetheless.
I even got a speed trap warning on my way to Chicago this afternoon and it was right after I passed a pulled over car on the opposite side!
Hazards popping up as well as random accidents as well.

Got my notice too!! One at a time I keep submitting these.BP station issue in FL apparently fixed.
So here's a weird issue with Apple Maps...
On my fully updated iPhone 11, when my phone goes into dark mode in the evening, my Apple Maps show up dark, as it should. So do Google Maps. No issues there.
On CarPlay, in dark mode, the top information bar showing the route/lanes/turning directions shows up in black (as it should in dark mode) and the bottom information bar arrival time/travel time/distance shows up in black (as it should in dark mode). But the actual MAP itself is still in "light mode."
Google Maps renders in CarPlay as it should
I've tried this in two different CarPlay settings - my own Coral Vision CarPlay tablet as well as my wife's OEM Toyota Rav4 CarPlay head unit. It displays the same in both, making me think it's something particular to my phone setup or a very weird bug.
My wife's XR renders the dark maps in dark mode as it should, on her phone and in CarPlay.
Any advice welcome.

Hmm...I've never experienced that bug in Apple Maps on CarPlay...BUT...I have experienced something similar with Google Maps and/or Waze on CarPlay. If it's day time when I load a route in Google Maps or Waze, the ETA bar on the bottom will be dark as though it were night mode, but the rest of the screen is in light mode. If I go through a tunnel or under an overpass that causes the screen to change to dark mode, everything will be normal when it switches back to light mode. Or, I can exit to the main screen, go to dashboard view, and then go back in to the app.
Im seeing reports commonly in Australia too, seems like its an advancement not just limited to the USA
I asked the above (in the Maps wiki thread). I got this suggestion:
That’s my confusion: there’s no Report an Issue for routes. Only locations.
Your not tapping the route box…tap where it says “12 min”….
It will bring up the route details as shown below…then select “report an issue”
I picked “something else” as the issue as shown below (edit: I deleted that pic since I uploaded it with my personal information since it reports from your account).
…and then my smart ass answer (yes...I normally know how to spell "straight")
…submitted…
I tried it from 3 different locations on that street and it is definitely following the “one way” rules for driving.
What's weird is that one of your suggested routes DOES go against the one way street, just not the whole thing. Makes no sense to me.

That feature is not present on my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.1.1.Your not tapping the route box…tap where it says “12 min”….
It will bring up the route details as shown below…then select “report an issue”
Tapping the “12 min” box does nothing. I tried that a bunch before posting previously in case that’s what you meant.
That routing summary you show with Report an Issue does not exist on my iPhone. I rebooted to make sure it wasn’t a temporary glitch.
Well…unless someone who isn’t on the beta proves me wrong, I’m pretty sure it was always this way.
Edit: just tried it on an iPhone XS running iOS 15.x and it works
Any phone in my house…just tapping in the box works.

Ah, now I see. I’m supposed to tap a region that’s obviously not meant to be tapped to get mystery hidden UI. Why doesn’t that have the Preview Route text as it does in landscape mode? Super glad Apple’s design team is so aces lately.
I saw some speculation recently on how Look Around releases might be working. (Don't remember if it was here or on Reddit).
But someone speculated that a hint to when Look Around may be released to an area could be tied to the "pedestrian" data and not necessarily the "vehicle collection data". If there is any truth to that, I'm not so sure we'd see a massive release covering the rest of the US at once. It might end up being a gradual expansion. Looking at Apple's webpage on the timeframe for collection, I would hope this means my area will be included soon! My county was listed under their pedestrian locations from May to September of this year. So hopefully that signifies something for us soon...because looking at the website, it looks like a lot of areas having pedestrian data collection are in areas either IN or CLOSE to a rolled out Look Around area.
As much as I would like to see one massive release, a part of me thinks what we might end up seeing is more cities added...with those and already existing releases just being expanded outward gradually. For me, living juuuuuust outside an already existing release...I'd be okay with this because I stand a good chance of seeing a release soon. For others though in areas that are nowhere near a currently existing release...I have a feeling they'll be waiting a while.
I hope to be surprised! I'm not traveling for holidays again this year, so a wide release would be nice to take a look at places I would have been going to ? I know, I know "just use Google Street View". But some of their imagery is surprisingly old in some of the areas.

I think that’s BS…
