Why do Random address and pin points appear on my iphone maps?

[anthony818N]

Hello just a question regarding Maps:

Sometimes when i go into my iPhone Maps i see addresses and pin points that are unknown to me..and appear on their own.
Does anyone know how they get there? or how i can prevent this?
I hear that it can have something to do with my gmail account, scanning emails and adding found address to the maps?...is this true?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Anthony

It could be. Anyway, you could always remove the pins. Or do they appear after you remove them, too?

Use google maps. Use Apple maps if you want to get frustrated.
