How to report problems in iOS 6's Maps

25.09.2012

On the following screen, you'll be given a list of five possible issues to choose from. Choose the one that best describes your problem and tap Next; if you're not sure exactly which one you're looking for, I've broken them out below.

: If you made a search that didn't show what you expected--for example, as per the example in , if you search for Mount Everest and don't get the world's tallest mountain--then this might be what you're looking for. Maps will show you a list of your last three searches; select the one that gave you problems and tap Next. The next screen contains a Comments field; enter a brief description of the problem you encountered, and tap Send.

: If some of the text on the map doesn't accurately describe the location or contains an error--say a typo identifying your street as a "road"--this is the option to choose. You'll be presented with a map and asked to tap the misidentified feature; do so, and tap Next to get a text field where you can propose a correction and send it to Apple.

: You know that place exists, but Maps just isn't showing it. Choose this option and you'll be asked to place a pin on the map where the missing feature is; then tap Next. (Apple could make this a tad easier by letting you specify a location, or even your current location). You'll be asked to enter the information on the location, including name, address, phone number, hours, website, and category (Apple provides its own built-in category options).

: Maps told you to turn right instead of left? Here's where you can save future drivers the same hassle. Pick this option and tap Next; Apple will present you with the last three direction searches you made. Tap Next again, and you'll get the Comments field in which you can explain your mishap.
