    CarPlay CarPlay - view while driving, not navigating

    Hello Community! I've been looking for it everywhere and I didn't find a comprehensive look at the Apple Maps UI in CarPlay while just driving. Currently, I have the OEM sat nav, which has this "standby" 3D view, which I like, because I can check surroundings, streets, or simply I just know...

    Sierra Maps - no labels in satellite view?

    I seem to have lost labels (street names, POI, etc) when in satellite view. I have tried toggling the labels in the 'show' pop-up, and I've also tried deleting '~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps' folder. No luck so far. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading!

    Problem with iOS 10 maps app

    So I haven't been able to find anything but praises for the new version of the maps app. I personally can't stand it.
