Q&A
To report an issue in Apple Maps, open the app, tap on your profile picture or the 'More' button, and select 'Report an Issue.' Follow the prompts to provide details about the issue, such as incorrect information, missing locations, or route problems.
Apple Maps does not currently offer a built-in offline mode like some other navigation apps. However, you can use the app in areas with limited connectivity if you start navigation before losing the signal. The app will cache the route and continue to provide guidance.
To add a stop to your route in Apple Maps, begin navigation to your primary destination. While navigating, you can swipe up the information card at the bottom of the screen and use the 'Add Stop' feature to search for and add a pit stop, such as a gas station or restaurant.
