I would like to report a persistent Apple Maps data issue affecting the Spanish (Spain) version of Apple Maps, especially in the Balearic Islands.
Apple Maps is displaying several official place names incorrectly, including municipalities, towns, neighbourhoods and local geographic names. In some cases, Apple Maps also shows duplicated or non-existent neighbourhoods, or classifies neighbourhoods incorrectly as towns/cities.
The problem is not isolated to one place. It affects several areas of the Balearic Islands, particularly Mallorca and Menorca. Some examples include incorrect or outdated forms such as Mahon / Mahón instead of Maó, Ciudadela instead of Ciutadella de Menorca, and other place names that do not match the official names used by Spanish geographic authorities.
These names should follow official geographic sources such as the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) and the official cartographic data of the Balearic Islands. The issue appears specifically in the Spanish (Spain) version of Apple Maps.
I have tried to report these errors many times using the built-in “Report an Issue” function in Apple Maps, including official references and screenshots. However, the reports are repeatedly rejected with the same generic response: “The specific change could not be made.”
This reporting function does not seem to work properly for different types of map data. It fails not only for official city and town names, but also for neighbourhoods, duplicated or non-existent areas, and POIs. Even when the correction is supported by official geographic sources or clear local evidence, the reports are rejected without a useful explanation or a real review process.
