Apple Maps Guides

I upgraded to IOS 18 earlier this week. When I used Apple Maps on Carplay last night, Siri would only say that it was looking for directions. The destination never came through CarPlay. It should have been an easy one, as I was taking someone to the airport to fly to Atlanta.

I have an angular 13 leaflet application that can display OpenStreetMap, google, bing and apple maps. I have a function which uses DomToImage.toPng to generate an image of the currently displayed map. This works as expected with OpenStreetMap, google and bing. However, with apple maps, the maps are rendered as a solid grey. There are no exceptions shown in the console as one might expect from a tainted canvas. Loading the map: if ( this.appleMapsApiKey !== 'n/a' ) { ml.layer = (L as any).mapkitMutant ({ type: 'hybrid', // valid 'type' are 'standard', 'satellite', 'hybrid', 'muted' authorizationCallback: function(done) { // console.log ( 'Apple Maps Authorization Callback with ' + outerThis.appleMapsApiKey ); done ( outerThis.appleMapsApiKey ); }, language: 'en', attribution: '© ' + ml.name, debugRectangle: false, opacity: 1, minzoom: 3, maxzoom: 23 }); } Saving the map as a .png this.swlDataUrl = null; const node = docum

Hi, I'm developing an app where I need to draw public route polylines on map. I can draw .automobile polylines, but when I chose .transit, it won't show anything on the map. I'm wondering how I can get a public transit route and estimate time as a JSON file and draw a route on a map? How apple map does show very clear and nice step by step routes? Thank you,

Hi, How can I get the public transit polylines on map when I add a destination with bus number, estimate time and other things which apple map shows? Thank you

I'm having difficulty understanding whether a tour guide app should use IAP to purchase tours or Apple Pay. My app has tour listings which the end user (iOS users) can enroll into by purchasing the tour event. They can view listings but not details of the tour until they purchase. Once purchased, the tour can be accessed and the app guides them to physically travel to a location via a map. Once they reach the location, the app will show description about the location and then point to the next destination. The tour is created by clients (web app users) who set up the tour, put pinpoints on a map and descriptions about locations in the tour. What I don't understand is whether this type of payment is covered by IAP or is it considered an external service and Apple pay will suffice. I also do not see a way to create IAP items for created tours on the web (no JS sdks to access and create IAP items). I don't believe they are covered by consumable/non-consumable

hello I am Asmaa Atine I would like to suggest an improvement for the Apple Maps app. My idea is to allow users to draw the general path they would like to follow directly on the map with their finger, and then have the app automatically generate an optimized route that follows the drawn trajectory as closely as possible. This feature would be very useful in several situations, such as: • when the user wants to pass through a specific area but the suggested routes don’t match, • when they want to avoid certain places or include a particular spot, • or when they simply want a more flexible, intuitive way to customize a route. The concept would be: 1. the user draws a rough path on the map, 2. Apple Maps interprets the drawing, 3. and then proposes the best possible route based on that drawn line. I believe this would greatly enhance the flexibility of Apple Maps and provide a more intuitive way to create personalized routes. Thank you for

I think in one of the betas for us developers in apple maps we need a new feature inside of maps that actully has a speed limit sign an that tell how fast we are going just giving someone a bright idea please make it happen some how.

My company, business listing, and can you help me with an API that can be used for business listings of apple maps?

problem is in IOS which is when someone sends location on whatsapp and open that location in Apple maps then click on direction button with Car icon in the callout info view appears on the marker... it asks you to go to 3rd party apps like Open In Google Maps in the action sheet... when I click on this button it tries to open google maps in ONE MINUTE (our app name that is using google maps),this alert comes always DO YOU WANT TO OPEN GOOGLE MAPS IN ONE MINUTE?Because of this many people have deleted application because they want to use google maps and it opens in Our application. that is big loss for us...

Hello Team,Greetings of the Day 🙂We are using Apple maps in our application. We have a requirment to find the nearby Airports by passing keyword Airport using MKLocalSearchCompleter.

Eisenhower National AirportLawton-Fort Sill Regional AirportAbove airports are not coming along with Regional airport also some are very far from this place.

The easiest way to explain this is to show it. On any device, open Maps, set it to Driving (which will show traffic). Go to Baltimore Maryland. In the water just south east of the city there is a bridge (Francis Scott Key Bridge). . On Apple Maps the road is colored dark red. At certain zoom levels, there is a button (red circle with a white - in it). When you click on that button, it says 1 Advisory (Road Closed). How do I show this button on my map. My map shows the dark red color, but no button appears. The only advisory that I've been able to find is when you create a route. Of course you can't create a route over a road that fell into the water. struct ContentView: View { @State private var position = MapCameraPosition.region( MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 39.22742855118304, longitude: -76.52228412310761), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.05407607689684113, longitudeDelta: 0.04606660133347873) ) ) var body: some View { Map

Hi!I build app which is uses Apple Map Kit. All works fine. But some of my customers would have maps from Google. What is the best way:1. Build another app (fork) with Google map kit. 2. Modify current app by adding Google map functionality with toggle switch (Apple Map/Google Map). No problem to do this for me, i have protocol oriented application with possibility to change one map kit to another( i though about map replacement at design time).But it seems for me(but i dont sure ) that i could get troubles with Google license agreement. Google agreements doesnt allow use Google map with other Maps in one app in some cases. What do you thinl about this ? Is it allowed to have 2 map kits in one IOS apps ? Whicj way is the best ? Thanks, Pavel
