Nice to see it done and released! I said a while back that I think it will be oddly satisfying to see more countries turn green on the map 😂 What's your guesses for what's coming next? I would say Canada since we DO know to expect that this year, but that being said...Japan's release was a surprise (to me, anyway), so I wonder if they have somewhere else in line.
I could see it. Given how little time is left in the year, Canada will pretty much have to go into pre-release soon to be done by the end of the year.
As for other ideas...it'll be fun to think of what surprises they might have. If I remember correctly from the iOS 13 thread, I think you had entries on there for Germany, Italy, and Australia. (I think). Maybe one of those will be coming sooner rather than later. Especially because it will take forever to roll out the rest of the world at the pace we are currently going. At some point, the pace will have to be picked up. Important to note though...Justin O'Bierne did say this release took the longest, and it was the longest by quite a decent number of days.
Is this still a problem for you? Cos now now I’m (and everyone else) is on new Apple maps (again) it’s working fine for me.
so, yesterday Apple updated their Ireland maps yet one still cannot navigate using EIR codes and using fixed AnPost addresses remained hosed. Sticking with Goggle Maps for now. You would think that with all the Apple folks at Hollyhill Cork that Apple would have their "Stuff" together. NOPE ...
Anyone noticing missing speed cameras in Uk maps yet? Also has anyone dared test how alerts work - only if speeding?
I would imagine they work the same as they do in the US. If you're navigating up a road that has a speed camera up ahead, Apple Maps will announce "25 MPH speed camera ahead" when you're maybe a block or two away. If you're driving above the speed limit at the time, Apple Maps will make a second announcement: "25 MPH speed camera ahead. Please watch your speed."
You can always try sending a suggestion to the support team at maps_support@apple.com. It doesn't hurt to at least let them know you want features like this, and quite a few of us have had positive experiences with the support team there.
Had non missing as yet around where I’ve been other than motorway gantry based speed cameras are not on there.
Are you on one of the betas? I'm on regular 14.0.1, and it was still bad as of last night for me.
Yeh i forgot to remove the beta profile so i'm currently on 14.2 Public Beta 2 i think it is.
Wha
What I really like to see in ios14 map is to fix the bug of contact and map integration.
in ios13.x the map app could show the location by inputting the landmark (or building) names. However, if clicking from the addr field of any contact in the Contact app, landmark or building name could bring you to map app but get you “location not found” msg. To get this contact map integration to work, I found the addr has to be in street no and name format.
if ios14 could fix this bug, it would make the map much more useful.

The contact parsing is REALLY weird...totally agree with you there.
When I type in "Stephanie" I could care less about "Stephanie Street" 1,000 miles away....I want to get directions to the "Stephanie" right there in my contacts...and there's only one!! It's even worst for my son's girlfriend's place. Only "Andrea" in my contacts. In CarPlay, it will give me address in other countries before even showing her address on my list...and I can't even see if it is there half the time. I like that it's a different color at least from a standard POI.
I also feel it is MUCH worse when doing this type of search in CarPlay....and I can't understand why that would matter. I'll try and photograph this later as now it is really bugging me talking about it...hah. Yesterday, I resorted to using Siri by saying, "Stephanie Xxxxxx's home" when asked where I wanted directions to...worked just fine. Why is typing it so bad?
Apple has come a long way from the horrible search parsing when it was first launched. POI's are spot on for me now and have been for a long time, but contact/name search still needs some work.
Had one of these wrong entrance errors at the weekend taking my little girl to her football (or soccer for any american folk on here) practice on Saturday morning. Apple Maps is for some reason trying to take you in from some residential side roads before parking up on one of them and clambering through someones garden and some trees to get in i think because the place marker appears on the back of the building when in fact you enter from the road at the bottom as per the screenshot from Google Maps.
Need to figure out how i report this so i get accurate arrival times when driving over each week.

For some reason the new Apple maps doesn’t seem to have picked up the roads to the centre or car parks (although the car park itself is marked as a pin). The premier inn building is also missing. Strange.
EDIT: if you zoom right in the roads are there but clearly there are issues with Apple Maps in this complex. Its especially weird given the public footpath to the south is shown at the zoom level in my screen shot. Is the complex new?

So, route to the destination like you are showing above...while still in that mode, select “report an issue”
You will then have an option to correct the “arrival entrance” on the Map so it knows to take you to a parking lot entrance proper to that POI versus the closest spot to the marker and having you walk there.
You’ll find a bunch of these where the AI has done that, for parks especially. The frustrating thing is that it seems to default back to the wrong “entrance” during updates here in the US. I’ve had to submit one multiple times after being fixed multiple times. Guess they’re working on that as well.
EDIT: so, I found a couple of things wrong with this POI.
1) there were two options to select when typing in the name. The first one is just the name and road. Getting directions via this option does this spot incorrectly marked on the map. (FYI...I submitted a correction for this POI as well)
2) Here is what you selected...the one with the address. POI marker is correct, but arrival entrance as you can see is marked wrong and takes you exactly where it did when you tried.
I submitted a correction as you can see the steps below.
Wrong arrival entrance shown when I picked “report an issue” for the route and selected “arrival entrance” from that menu
Moved the arrival entrance marker to the correct location on the map (I hope...hah)
Still have to submit a reason why...something basic.

The Leisure Centre opened in August 2011 according to a quick look on Google. We only started using it earlier this year when we changed my daughters football coaching to there but from memory the old maps took you to the wrong entrance as well so the missing roads etc could well have been wrong on them and transferred to the new one. Fortunately we've driven past it a few times before so knew how to get in plus a guy i work with lives next door and told me how to access the car park.
Cheers, done that and will see what happens. As above it does appear to be a case of a missing entrance road as much as a wrong entrance as well.
Well...definite difference between a search on the phone versus a search on CarPlay. My phone is not letting me save redacted photos right now for some reason, but I have a whole bunch with side by side comparisons and it's pretty interesting (and makes at least some sense in a weird way...even if I don't agree with the logic).
Yeah, all them around me are missing. Even if I put in going to Berwick via the A1, they are all missing, and theirs quite a few north of Morpeth.
Red light camera’s are all missing as well.
Not all traffic lights are showing up either.
