Turn by turn seems to be off in Curacao

I come to Curacao often. I am positive that I have used to turn by turn directions on Apple Maps in the past. However, right now they seem to be unavailable. Does anybody know whether this is a feature that has been removed, something about my iPad, something about my connectivity, or just a temporary bug in Apple Maps? To explain I have a new iPad updated to the latest software. I have a 26 Mb Wi-Fi connection which otherwise looks perfect and I know I have seen turned by turn and curious out before any idea what’s going on or even any guess?

Am I Crazy? Mandela Effect?

While using Maps, during a Call, while screen is Locked, wouldn't you be able to see maps on the lock screen? Now I have to unlock my phone to see maps which is not ideal. I swear on my Iphone 11 (Upgraded to 16) I was able to view maps during a call on my lockscreen. Am I imagining this? I need to know I'm not making this up.

If you share your ETA with someone, does it automatically stop when you reach the destination?

Trying to figure out if I share my ETA with someone, does it automatically stop once I reached the location or will it indefinitely share the location with that person. My phone did this and I’m trying to figure out if I somehow just had the location with them shared already, before sending them the ETA

How long do changes take to reflect?

A place I go to frequently has completely random images uploaded on Foursquare, which I had never heard of. I was able to get them taken down on Foursquare's website, but they still display on Apple Maps. Any idea how long it takes to reflect this change on Apple Maps?

Also, I had filed a report several weeks ago about this in Apple Maps itself, but there is no great way to report the pictures associated with the location as it's imported from a third party. I had to leave a note under "other," but it's been a long time so I'm not optimistic about that.

Strange that a company as big as Apple would rely on importing pictures from a website like Foursquare.

Search Window While In a Guide? (iOS)

In the middle of a trip, and I had created a series of Guides to help us get around in each location. I’ve just realized, though, that I cant seem to bring up a search window while in a Guide. There are many times in which I want to have all of that gathered information visible while searching for something.

Right now, I have to click out to Guides, then Library, before Search appears. (I realize saved places appear as tiny dots, but that’s not as helpful.)

Still finding the moving in and out of windows or sections to be quite clunky. (You shouldn’t have to click three times to get from the default map to your guide of choice.)

Am I missing something? Thanks!

Besides FME, what other tools can I use to create, validate, or convert GeoJSON to IMDF that are open source?

I'm trying to create an IMDF file for Apple Maps. Is there any open-source software available, or how can I do it myself?

Satellite on Apple Watch

I wish we could view satellite maps on the Apple Watch maps application but only transport mode maybe in the future they might add support for it to be available to look at satellite on the Apple Watch
