How do I report a persistent navigation error?

Any time I travel down I-95 there’s a consistent navigation error around a tunnel under Baltimore harbor, where directions say to take exit 55 that you don’t need to. Said exit is only accessible via the right tunnel bore, but the actual exit is after the tunnel. The moment you get into the tunnel it switches to just continue on 95. Not a terrible issue but the first time it confused the hell out of me since it said to take that exit, but it didn’t exist until later and then directions changed to not take it.

Way to switch nav voice guidance options?

Is there a way to switch whether the voice guidance in CarPlay AppleMaps is 1) turn by turn or 2) alerts only?

I hate that I’ll be in the wrong mode and switching modes requires small button presses that I really shouldn’t be doing as I zip down the highway at 180kph.

Automatic Share ETA Not Working for Home Destination

For some odd reason, I can't add a person to share ETA automatically for home. All other favorite destination works. I've already tried deleting and re-adding home address in Contacts, etc., yet it still doesn't work. However, if I make my home address as other or just another favorite, adding a person works. Would like to know if anyone had the same issue and is there a fix?

Why does navigation switch to dark mode when the whole phone is on light mode (in the evening)

My whole phone is on light mode, apple maps is light mode when exploring, but when starting a navigation, apple maps turns to dark mode.

Noticed no way to change this, is this set in stone?

Turn off Lock Screen notifications

I still can’t believe there’s not a way to have maps take over the Lock Screen just because I am following a route. It wakes up the screen also for every prompt. After this many years, it’s the one thing that keeps me from using using Apple Maps. So intrusive.

What’s better for walking directions, Apple Maps or Google Maps?

Which app tends to have better walking directions. Sometimes if I take long walks from my car and I need to find a way back I need to use maps but I’m not sure which one is better. I’ve never used Google maps

How to open Google Maps POI in Apple Maps?

Sometimes I cannot find a place in Apple Maps but I can in Google maps. Is there any quick way to open Google Maps POI in Apple Maps? Ideally if longitude and latitude would be passed instead of place name or address. Shortcut perhaps? Has anyone did something like that?

Anyone know what's the deal with Wawa?

Why is Wawa never an option when searching for gas station on the route? It will show every other gas station but even if there is Wawa right on the way it very rarely if at all shows it as one of the options.

Why is Apple Maps so bad and what can Apple do to change that?

I haven’t used Apple Maps in a hot minute cause I just got sick of the system and how it works. I currently use Waze, but I thought I would give Apple Maps a try again yesterday when driving about 28 miles. I live in a city just for context. Whenever I’ve used it before (and I’ve used it for years) it would always extremely underestimate the arrival time. For instance when I drove 26 miles, it said I was gonna take 45 minutes to get there and it took an hour and six minutes. This is not a one time thing, it happens EVERY single time I use it. It is also always trying to take me down one way roads or closed roads, and it it reroutes me, it ends up taking me a way with tolls when I have avoid tolls turned on (I live in Florida so there’s tolls roads everywhere). It just seems like a very unreliable system for a multi-billion dollar company, and I know many people feel the same way since it has a very low rating on the App Store.

Apple Maps keeps changing my business hours.

How do I keep Apple Maps from changing my business hours? We offer lunch specials from 11am-3pm on weekdays, and for some reason Apple Maps thinks those are the only hours we are open. I correct them, then a day later they revert back to showing us only being open from 11-3 again.
