No, mapping 101 is showing me a scale. Without a scale it is a drawing not a map.
A for everyone telling me I can enable it always in settings, I will answer that it still gets removed when you start navigation with 'Directions'.
But I still agree street omission is pretty bad.
- function_seven 3y agoYou just reminded me of my own mapping annoyance. Apple Maps, while navigating, will keep zooming the map as I approach my destination. The scale keeps changing! For a lot of areas, this makes it possible to glance at the map, see that my dot is 32 millimeters away from the destination, drive for a bit, glance again… still 32 mm away. The same unit length on my screen represents 3 miles or 300 feet. I wish there was some visual indication of the scale, other than a tiny line in the bottom right corner.
- feintruled 3y agoSomething that catches me out when driving is the scale adjusting for speed. It makes sense, but a junction that looks quite close suddenly starts moving further away from you as you slow down for it and the maps zooms in. It's an odd UI quirk.
