This is a great article about the new maps (sorry if already posted). After reading this I bet that the next role out will include Chicago as it is the last of the 10 largest cities to be updated.

Apple’s New Map, Expansion #5: Northeast U.S.

Well, Texas went wide release on August 9th, and the NE started appearing to a small amount of people on August 12th, so we should potentially know soon.

Y'all know I'm hoping for the Southeast, but I can see why Chicago would make sense.

With 2019's days getting short, I'm wondering if we might potentially see the Southeast, part of the Midwest (Illinois) and the PNW (Washington/Oregon) at the same time. With my luck, they'll include North Georgia in with the Midwest, and I'll still be waiting. ;)

Doesn't seem so. I set up a practice route up to some family in Mount Kisco, New York, and it showed me the stop signs and traffic lights in that tiny town of Mount Kisco.

I don't see them either in Boston, though the routing is definitelt different (and in two cases wrong. One street didn't has a pass through, one was one way...)

I’m resigned to having them circle the nation and leave CO for last haha.

In one of the recent iOS updates, it looks like they made the ETA bar and directional box a bit smaller. I had reported to them that the box was taking up too much space on my screen, making it harder to see the upcoming new maps data. This means that longer road names and directions will fall off onto another line, but I don't mind.

Playing with perspectives again. First, the new "normal".

And now, after jumping to the overview and back.

Notice also, that it seems Apple has a new road name algorithm. if the road name is a number between one and ten, Apple Maps now spells out the number. In the above examples, using Tenth Avenue instead of 10th Avenue. This was consistent across all of New York City.

What the hell is this??

This is also weird. This section of the Cross Island Parkway in Queens is labeled CR-CIP. I sent in a correction for this as well.

I've been reading some complaints about highway shields showing up in places where they don't belong in upstate New York, but I don't know enough about the roads in those areas to make my own corrections. Hopefully someone does it themselves.

Side note: My phone is occasionally still opening Apple Maps into 2D mode, although it's been better lately. It'll also sometimes open randomly to showing the entire country. Also, in CarPlay, finishing a route sends the map back into 2D mode, and I'm still seeing "static" in the directions box at night. These issues have yet to be fixed.

But the maps are gorgeous, and I just want to keep driving all over the place.

I've had to send in waaaaay too many corrections since the new maps launched. It's sad, because a lot of the things I'm correcting were *correct* on the old maps!

Tonight, for some reason, the New York State Route 25A designation vanished off of Apple Maps, except for its portion on Eastern Long Island. And coming home, Apple Maps ignored the exit I needed to take at the end of the highway, because the highway was drawn on the new map as though it were continuing through that exit.

They need to start paying me for my time....

Here’s an intersection that needs to be changed. Check out the difference between the new map, with what it looks like in the satellite and Look Around views:

Maps refused to route me this way, because it believed you couldn’t go from 45th Avenue straight onto Northern Boulevard.

I had a feeling they’d go this route next and complete Chicago. It was the last of the 10 largest cities needing done. My guess is southeast next because of Jacksonville and Charlotte. Then the Pacific Northwest.

I think Seattle and Portland and the rest of the PNW is next...we'll see soon enough I guess.

Just did a hard restart on both phones. No new Maps for me...I'll probably be like G1 and not get them until official release. Hah.

I was a passenger for a trip out to Long Island today, so I observed Apple Maps on my phone for the first time.

Noticed something interesting...on my phone itself, the 3D buildings show at the same zoomed-out levels as from CarPlay on iOS 12.4.1. Yet on CarPlay currently, the buildings don’t appear until you zoom in really far.

So perhaps I should be directing Apple to look into this as a CarPlay issue.

While not updated for me yet, still impressed with updates for Maps, including a recent accident. I wonder how this may be tied into State Police notifications? Really wonder how this type of notification works in Maps.
