Meanwhile, also Apple maps since launch: “sorry I cant get directions from A to B.”

It has NEVER given me directions. I live in a non-EU country and not in the US. Small island. It shows all the roads, shops and everything but for some arbitrary reason it won’t do navigation here.

Never touched it again since Google maps is perfect. (Aside from the occasional off-road routing).



Even in India, a large country where Apple has a growing manufacturing presence, Apple Maps is totally neglected. It cannot find many places in major cities. It just does not have any transit directions in major cities. It’s at least 10 years behind Google Maps (which updates very quickly to changes, even though it’s not perfect). Apple just does not care much about countries other than the US and a few others when it comes to maps.


Firstly, before anyone comments, I know it's a Siri thing... but no less hilarious...

Driving home last night, CarPlay is active, and I have navigation on, and it's driving me home.

I need a snack. Press the button on my steering wheel. "Get directions to Panera Bread."

"Sorry, I don't know where you are."

I get it, permissions, but the hilarity of "this is how you interact with CarPlay, or one of the ways, but is broken".
