Hello,
I would like to report an inconsistency in Apple Maps regarding place names in the Balearic Islands when using Apple Maps in Spanish.
Most official place names in the Balearic Islands are displayed correctly. For example, Apple Maps correctly shows names such as Eivissa, and other Balearic municipalities also appear with their official names. However, there are still some incorrect cases, especially:
-
Maó, which is still displayed incorrectly (shown as "Mahón")
-
Sant Francesc de Formentera, shown as "San Francisco Javier"
This does not seem consistent, because Apple Maps already respects the official Catalan/Balearic place names in most other cases. Until recently, Ciutadella was also displayed incorrectly, but after months of reporting the issue, it has finally been corrected. This shows that the correction is possible and that the current remaining cases are likely data inconsistencies.
Other major platforms such as Google Maps and Tripadvisor already display these names correctly. The official reference sources that should be used are the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) and the IDEIB / official geographic data of the Balearic Islands.

The expected behavior would be for Apple Maps to use the official place names consistently across the Balearic Islands, including Maó and Sant Francesc de Formentera, just as it already does with Eivissa and other municipalities.
Could Apple Maps review its geographic data for the Balearic Islands and align these names with the official sources?
Thank you.
