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:

• Burlington, VT

Existing imagery updated:

• Aizuwakamatsu, Japan
• Albany, NY
• Asheville, NC
• Bastia, France
• Broome, Western Australia
• Charleston/Huntington, WV
• Corte, France
• Grand Canyon, AZ
• Greenville/Spartanburg, SC
• Heilbronn, Germany
• Toronto, ON

Some of these might not actually be new, but this is the first time I have noticed them. If I've missed any, please let me know!

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?

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

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?

Hello!

Just curious if I'm misremembering, but I feel like apple maps would continue showing the full map view on the always on display but now when I try it, it only shows the directions at the top while blacking out the rest of the screen on AOD.

Starting to think I was delusional lol.

I'm conducting a survey about Apple Maps for an academic design research project. I'm looking to understand people's experiences with the app, The survey is open to everyone, including people who use Apple Maps regularly and those who prefer other navigation apps.

Hi,

Apple Maps removed Sienna, TX in favor of Missouri City, TX.

Does anyone know why?

I live in an unincorporated area of Sienna Plantation bordering Missouri City.

While another portion of Sienna is being incorporated, mine is not.

Why did Apple Maps remove the Sienna location?

我升级iPadOS 26之后，苹果地图没有自己的全球卫星影像了，只剩下高德的数据，我VPN都开全局了还没有，这可咋整？
