What would you love to see in a future version of Apple Maps?

For me it's got to be an option for always have the map be north-up when doing turn by turn directions.

When searching for POIs (like gas) while on route, the location list should be number-coded to the map so I can see where one is without needing to tap on it and wait for the map to zoom in. Android Auto shows POIs like this and it’s easier to decipher

Agreed. I can do mental rotation, so going downward in Maps on my phone can mean going North. And changing direction and zooming inn/out makes me sea sick.

Request 2. Zooming in should make the name of the road that you can quite read, BIGGER. This would help with navigation.

Is it still integrated with Yelp? If so, that needs to go away asap.

I hate tapping on a photo and it opens the App Store for Yelp.

Immediate rage quit and I switch to Google Maps.

Written reviews, open issue reporting also while in nav (like submit on the go that a speed limit is wrong), actual location for speed traps, auto download map route.

Voice directions in another language than Siri’s.

I speak English to Siri, but because I live in Sweden, Apple Maps butchers street and place names as a result because it uses the same voice.

The ability to have the directions appear on the Apple Watch only when I chose walking directions. It's pretty annoying when driving as I have a bigger screen showing me but I don't want to disable it altogether.

Navigation with a carpool option to tell the app I want to navigate taking advantage of carpool lanes / exits.
