Apple makes it pretty easy to report problems: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/report-errors-in-apple-maps/ https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/report-errors-in-apple-maps...
- IndySun 4y agoThank you. I have given up reporting problems (or anything at all) to Apple via the Maps app (email supplied for feedback, zero response since day one). The errors remain. Apple are not interested. Maps is a map app in name only. We are not discussing a startup, it's Apple, ergo they have no interest in making Maps good. And still The Verge articles get posted here. Drivel. Though I too have post-regret, so...
