One thing that always drove me nuts - say I am traveling to a far away city and find a restaurant and I want to see how far away it is from something in the city I am traveling to. You’d hit directions and immediately it would calculate directions from your current location, so you’d have to stop that, enter a new address and have it done (this would happen in places like Hawaii so it would helpfully tell me no directions from the continental US were available).

Now it seems to not include the “directions” button but instead “Plan” which prompts you to add a starting point.

New? Did I miss this before?

I use Apple Maps to look up driving directions to a given set of coordinates. I use Apple Maps in offline mode where I have downloaded maps for offline use. The iPhone quickly brings up Maps with the location of the coordinates, but many times when I tap the blue horizontal button containing the icon of the car and the estimated travel time, nothing happens. There are times when I tap over and over again, and the routes are not displayed. Other times, the routes are displayed right away. Does anyone have an idea why it can take so long to bring up the different routes? Even after repeatedly tapping the icon?

is anyone else’s apple maps saying this or has said this? any tips on what to do?

Title pretty much says it all, wondering how/where I can customize what the “sharing eta” text message says?
I remember being able to do it a few iOS versions back, currently on 27, cant find the option anywhere?

Given this, I could see the new maps launching for everyone within the next 20 days or so (ie: mid-late November, potentially early December). This is not guaranteed, but hopefully it comes soon (along with Look Around) :)

New to IOS

When searched on google for a location google tries to take me to google maps in ios how to go to Apple Maps.

I’ve seen apps like mapper and mapswitch are there any free apps like this or any tricks. And does these above mentioned apps work as described

Is there a way to download a section of apple maps for a given area, such as a city, so that you can locally edit the maps for your own personal use? Is there an option to create your own public transport lines on your own local maps? And is there any equivalent to Google My Maps for Apple Maps?

Salut tout le monde !
Je me demandais si c'est normal ou si c'est juste mon téléphone qui capote. Quand je roule sur certaines routes provinciales (comme la Route 132), la voix d'Apple Maps est complètement incapable de le dire normalement et me sort un charabia totalement éclaté, style « ssaaatraaatdeu ».
Est-ce que ça vous fait ça normalement vous aussi ?

I believe this is new, I checked these cities about a month ago and they didn’t have POI support when in the full-screen look around view

Apple has decided to start releasing cities every two or so days, mostly in pairs of three or two at a time. They haven't really been adding any new places lately.

Received Flyover:

Not sure when it was activated exactly. But today I saw it and it works for even small streets

I’ve not had maps alert me that there’s limited mobile phone service at a destination, has anyone else had this?

I'm a solo dev. My family drives from Florida to Ohio with a 2-, 7- and 10-year-old, and we kept needing park stops. I built WanderWay to find interesting places along the way, and I used Apple's MapKit for the map and routing. A few things I learned:

- **MapKit gives you a lot for free.** Turn-by-turn routing, map rendering and rerouting all work well. Missed-turn handling took the most tuning. A new route that sends you back the way you came feels wrong, so I bias reroutes toward the direction you're already heading.

- **MapKit doesn't know about everything you might want to find.** It has no categories for waterfalls, orchards, cemeteries or lighthouses. I get the places from OpenStreetMap instead and draw them on the Apple map.

- **Apple's Maps terms don't let you cache or store Map Data beyond temporary use.** I wanted places to work offline and to save to favorites, so I couldn't build on Apple's place data. Keeping the places separate also lets the app work with no signal.

- **CarPlay is worth the effort.** Most drivers never open their phone, so a CarPlay screen with the next place and arrival time is where the app gets used.

- **Test on the OS you ship for.** A bug I chased for days on my iPad was just an old iOS version.

The app is called WanderWay. It has a 14-day free trial, then $4.99 once, with no subscription, ads or account. Happy to answer questions about MapKit routing, CarPlay or working with OpenStreetMap data.

This just started happening to me randomly. Whenever I use Apple Maps and start the gps to somewhere my location will jump around all over the place. Showing my car over houses or in parks nearby. After driving for a couple minutes it snaps to the correct place and works fine. But that makes it completely useless for the first 2 minutes of driving. Which really sucks when leaving somewhere I’ve never been or going somewhere new. I tried just sitting in the car for a few minutes before leaving but that doesn’t do anything. I have to be actively driving.

Anyone else have this problem before?

This is my view. It knows where I am and what direction I’m facing, and I can even still navigate. The map itself will just not load even if I change it to satellite view etc. I rely on some other apps that are connected to Apple maps, and the maps on those will not load either. Google maps still works just fine.

All network and location settings are on for Apple Maps and all other apps. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and restarted my phone multiple times.

A few weeks ago my phone ran out of storage and I needed to temporarily delete maps in order to take some photos. I don’t know if it’s related but I noticed this happened around the same time. Even after reinstalling the issue has persisted. if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it

Just installed the latest iOS update.

While at home, searched a cafe and hit directions. Wanted to see directions from work.
In previous version, I could add work address as a stop and then press down on My location to see the delete option.

I can no longer delete my location in the directions. This means I can’t calculate distances between two places, unless one is my location.

Help!

Help, please.

I spotted a map car last month in Birmingham AL

Is Slovakia Hungarian, Czech or Polish?

I was looking at the Circuit of americas track and noticed the turns have their own unique POI categories. I wasn’t able to add these manually when creating a new poi. but I can remove them for some reason. What’s also strange is why each turn gets an hours of operation? Anyone else know of other ”hidden” categories?

After 128 days, Apple released DCE to Austin for the F1 Grand Prix. It's the 5th city receiving DCE in 2026. There are now 18 American cities that have the DCE.
