Apple Maps search problem

I use Apple Maps every day, and find it to be much better than Google maps. Unfortunately, I’ve come across an annoying problem. I am based in New York City, but if I have maps go to a different city, and then try and search for a business or location in that city, for example, looking for a pub in London, it will always fly back to NYC and give me search results here. Is there any way to make it search for places where the current map screen is located?

Hello gatormjh,


If you're wanting to search in a location using the Apple Maps app, we'd suggest using Guides, as described below: Organize places in My Guides in Maps on iPhone - Apple Support


Organize places in My Guides in Maps on iPhone

In the Maps app , you can organize places into your own guides for easy reference. For example, you can add destinations for an upcoming vacation into a guide named Summer Road Trip. You can quickly get to your guides from the search card, and you can share your guides with others.

A search card in Maps with the New Guide button at the bottom.

Create a guide

Scroll down in the search card, tap New Guide, enter a name, then tap Create.

Add a place to My Guides

1. Tap a place on a map or a search result in Maps.

2. Tap the More button (to the right of the directions button on the place card).

3. Tap Guides, then choose one of your guides.

You can also add editorially curated Guides to My Guides. See Explore new places with Guides in Maps on iPhone.

Edit a guide that you created

For any guide that you create, you can supply a cover image, change the title, and remove places.

1. Tap your picture or initials at the top right of the search card, then tap Guides.

If neither your picture nor initials appears, tap Cancel next to the search field, or tap the search field, then tap Cancel.

2. Choose a guide that you created.

3. Tap Edit at the bottom of the guide card.

4. Make your changes, then tap the Close button at the top right of the guide card.

1. Tap your picture or initials at the top right of the search card, then tap Guides.

If neither your picture nor initials appears, tap Cancel next to the search field, or tap the search field, then tap Cancel.
