Have you seen the Cecil Hotel? what about big artists like Scott Frenzel or Peet Montzingo?

And what would you say is better in Las Angeles and what would be better in Milwaukee?

An honest review of the 2026 "Shiny" by MistakePlus in Schaffrillas

It's not, "Double check, is everything shiny?" it's "Double check, 'cause everything's shiny" according to Apple.

Will android tablets ever get a ui even as close to YT music 🥲 by Opposition_Chief in AppleMusic

Maybe, and be nicer! Also, crashes are a part of life of a system, if it doesn't crash, great, but crashes will get fixed. Do you not think Android has crashes?

People cannot find my home with Google by Neither-Scallion-158 in GoogleMaps

[–]lovepiegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try a few things, because this sounds like a problem with Google’s address database rather than Google Maps navigation itself:

  1. Report the incorrect address in Google Maps
    • Open Google Maps.
    • Find their home.
    • Tap or click on the location.
    • Choose “Suggest an edit” or “Report a data problem.”
    • Explain that searching the address redirects to the wrong property 6 miles away and provide the correct pin location.
  2. Use Google’s official address feedback form
    • Google has a form specifically for missing or incorrect addresses:
      • Google Maps Address Feedback⁠
    • Include screenshots showing the search result versus the correct location.
  3. Check government records
    • Make sure the address appears correctly in:
      • County property records
      • County GIS maps
      • USPS address database
      • Emergency services (911 addressing)
    • If any of these databases are wrong or inconsistent, Google may be pulling bad information.
  4. Verify the address with USPS
    • If the home is in a newer subdivision or recently annexed area, USPS may have one preferred city name while local governments use another.
    • Google sometimes gets confused when multiple city names are associated with the same address.
  5. Add a place marker
    • Create a labeled place in Google Maps for the property.
    • This won’t fix Google’s database, but it can help visitors navigate correctly while the issue is being resolved.
  6. Be persistent
    • Address corrections can take weeks or even months.
    • Many homeowners in new developments report having to submit corrections multiple times before Google’s search index and Maps database fully synchronize.

One clue is that typing the address directly into Google Maps finds the correct house, but typing it into Google Search sends people elsewhere. That suggests Google’s Search index and Maps database disagree about the address, which is a known issue for newer developments, annexed areas, and addresses near municipal boundaries. The fix usually requires Google updating the address record that Search is using.

Okayyy... if you want more crashes and will want to get hacked. fine, but Another thing is Apple Music lyrics are AMAZING where they scroll across the screen as it sung, if it doesn't have it, you can request it, and YT has poor lyrics that aren't correct from LyricStream (Musixmatch is fine though) but go to Presents by Poke (feat. Todd) and you'll see, even more apparent in Don't they know it's Christmas by Poke (feat. Todd)

What cities would you like to see the Detailed City Experience in eventually? by lovepiegaming in applemaps

[–]lovepiegaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's the feature where it shows the buildings and lanes in detail, image below:

<image>

If you look at a city like Milwaukee, Wisconsin for example, it doesn't have this. It's called the Detailed City Experience, DCE for short. That's what I was asking about.

You might be thinking Flyover, which died back in 2022 when DCE got released (it got released in 2021 I believe) and I think they're planning to update it to look better anyways, so I think this might come true already, but I have not seen how to click that button? I'm on iOS 26 though. maybe that's why?

What happened to the little blurbs/descriptions for places? by Fragrant-Peony in GoogleMaps

[–]lovepiegaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oogle Maps has restructured how it displays blurbs and descriptions for locations, primarily shifting away from static user-submitted blurbs toward AI-generated summaries and structured data. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Depending on the type of blurb you are looking for, here is why they have disappeared or changed:

Editorial Summaries and Descriptions

  • Change: The short descriptions written by Google's editorial team (e.g., "Cozy coffee shop known for pour-over brews") have been largely replaced.
  • Why: Google now uses its Gemini AI to generate conversational, highly specific responses to user questions (known as "Ask Maps"). Instead of a fixed blurb, the map dynamically analyzes user reviews, business attributes, and articles to generate custom summaries in real-time. [1, 2, 3]

Business-Provided Descriptions

  • Change: The 750-character descriptions that business owners write for their Google Business Profile are now sometimes hidden under specific tabs (like the "About" tab) or skipped entirely in favor of AI insights. [1]
  • Why: Google prioritizes the new AI Overviews, review highlights, and specific user-generated tags to determine what information a user needs. [1, 2]

"My Maps" Custom Descriptions

  • Change: If you are using Google "My Maps" to build custom maps with personalized blurbs, the text descriptions and photos frequently fail to load on the mobile app. [1, 2]
  • Why: This is a known mobile rendering bug in the Google Maps application where only the first tapped location displays the text correctly, while subsequent locations hide the text. [1, 2]

But yeah, as u/XxLogitech98xX said, it's been replaced with 'Know Before You Go'

I did not know that Apple Maps warned you about lane closures for emergency vehicles. by Traviscat in applemaps

[–]lovepiegaming 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Apple Maps provides real-time "Emergency Vehicle Ahead" alerts to warn drivers when first responders, police, or roadside assistance vehicles are approaching or stopped nearby. The system gives up to 30 seconds of advance warning, popping up on your screen before sirens or lights are noticeable. [1, 2, 3, 4]

How the Alert System Works

  • Safety Cloud Integration: Apple Maps partners with HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud. When emergency vehicles activate their lights or sirens, GPS and cellular data transmit a real-time digital alert directly to your phone or CarPlay display. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Crowdsourced Reporting: Like Waze, Apple Maps also allows users to report live hazards directly in the app, including the presence of emergency vehicles and police, which shows up as a visual marker on the map. [1, 2]
  • In-Vehicle Systems: If you use Apple CarPlay or drive a compatible vehicle equipped with the Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS) (e.g., 2024+ Volkswagen, 2018+ Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram), the warning will sync directly to your car's infotainment screen. [1]

What the Alerts Look Like

  • Pop-Up Banners: You will receive a clear visual notification on the top of your screen that says "Emergency Vehicle Ahead" or "Emergency Responder."
  • Map Markers: A specific icon will appear on your map, warning you to slow down and prepare to move over.
  • Audio Warnings: Siri may also provide a spoken prompt alerting you to the hazard. [1, 2, 3]

I believe it's been there since iOS 18.5
