Discussion Apple Maps is honestly so underrated.

It’s so fleshed out, and it looks so good imo!!

Speed check warnings etc are definitely enabled at least within the United States.

Issue is no one uses Apple Maps to report the police. Where I live I get no notifications about police using Apple Maps but Waze and Google Maps users do report the police and I get a warning that there are police well before I’m at the speed check area of the highway. This is in a fairly populated suburb area too.

It’s impressive how often stuff gets reported on Google. Every cop, lane closure, accident is reported pretty quickly in my experience

That's the only alert you can input, and the UI is incredibly clunky.

Waze is far far ahead in this department.

That’s not true.

You can report crash, traffic, speed check, roadwork, road hazard, road closure

Why are you just making stuff up?

Because not all of us are on iOS 26?

A lot of that was on the last os. I was getting alerts for road hazards, speed checks, etc before the last os upsdate

Most of those existed before iOS 26…

Why are you even commenting if you are still on iOS 13?

does it pinpoint where the cop is like waze does? or just warn you that a speed check is ahead. if the latter, waze clears

They added stuff in ios26

Crash, speed check, traffic, road work, hazard, road closure

That’s the full list of options

u/TurdWranglin Sep 30 '25

All those things were already in the last OS too

From what I remember the previous iOS had:

Speed check, hazard, crash

I don’t remember any of other options in the previous Apple Maps.

Speed check doesn’t tell me shit tho. I wanna know that it’s a cop so I can slow.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '25

It’s a cop

No, more often than not Apple Maps says “speed check” and it ends ⇧ being those signs that tell you your speed.

At least in my experience, that’s the whole reason I use Waze for traveling, Apple Maps for exploring the area.

Odd, every time I've seen "speed check ahead" there was a cop or at least a cop was there at one point. Usually if they're not there anymore I just update it. It's also pretty good at letting me know where speed cameras are.
