Way to Go, Apple Maps

Fun with maps!

Last week, I received a notification from Apple that my map edit had been approved. I don’t send in many corrections to Apple, so I was pretty sure this meant Maranville Street could now be found on Apple Maps. I eagerly opened up the app to see.

There it is! A search for “Maranville Street, Boston, MA” no longer stupidly sends me to North Carolina. Instead, the map zooms in to Chestnut Hill, where the road is correctly labeled. Maranville Street is real, according to Apple Maps, and that’s delightful.

Alas, since my previous post, Google Maps has removed Maranville Street. The bus stops remain, though, which means a search still takes you to the correct location and shows this incongruous result:

Naturally, I’m working to correct the issue:

Fingers crossed!
