Thanks, Gary. I know this is an older vid, but it's new to me. I knew a lot of this, but as always I learned something new in watching it. If you're still monitoring comments on this old vid I have a question about What3Words integration in Apple Maps. I know that I can plot a route from the What3Words app in Apple Maps, but I'm wondering if there will be a further integration in Apple Maps with this fascinating (and very useful) system of place identity and navigation.

Gary, thank you for the video. One common feature on Google Maps is to search for say restaurants from an address. So the use case, which is very common would be, I am going to say Tampa Florida and staying at a Holiday Inn. I put in the address for the hotel, I have it displayed on my Mac. Now I want to search in that area for say Grocery Stores. Today when you do that, it goes back to your HOME location and does the search. I want it to search on the area I have displayed on the screen in Florida. Am I missing something?

As usual Gary, great info! Having been in the Mac ecosystem for 13 years now - I find it difficult to remove myself from Google Maps. I've using GMaps for such a long time - long before I entered the Mac eco-system; I find it hard to trust any other map app. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION Apple will be chasing GMaps for quite some time. Although they are catching up; but will the user (1) trust their application and (2) behave in a way to use their app vs GMaps.

Quick correction on this video - you can actually copy the coordinates to the clipboard directly from Apple maps - If you click the three ellipses button on the upper right of a marked location, there is an option to Copy Coordinates to the clipboard. That being said, I use Google Maps almost always over Apple Maps, especially for bike or transit directions here in Sydney, Australia. I can't tell you the number of times I've received the message "Biking navigation in REGION is not currently supported in Apple Maps". I'd love to use Apple Maps but the service just isn't there.

This might be due to insufficient memory or even if your internal drive is nearly full. If you only have 4GB of memory, then having more than two apps active at a time might not work well. With 8GB, you should be able to run half a dozen apps easily. Hard drives, and especially SSD's, should never get below 20% free space or 30GB at an absolute minimum. SSD's actually work faster when they have more free space available.

@@macmost Apple just needs to test their product on real-world users and watch how perplexed and frustrated people are. Why can't we drop a landmark, "a pin," actually name it what we want to name it, and have it permanently remain visible as a big star icon, so we can orient ourselves? So many times I have tried to do this, like yesterday here in Vietnam, and now again today they are all gone or named some local address which is meaningless to me as to which location that was… where are the favorites, where are the guides, who knows. Then you have to go digging and try to get the thing to pop up, which is NOT reasonable when in a foreign country under stress. And then the map is spinning all around different directions as well as sometimes randomly going into North mode thus constantly disorienting the person and defeating the entire purpose of a map app, which is that we normally want to go from one landmark to another. This basic functionality should come before a bunch of silly features which are useless to us if we can't do the primary. Most important is to understand human nature, which is that normal people just don't have a very high spatial IQ and so this needs to be made absolutely idiot-proof simple. We should have the option, and it should be the default, that the map is in "point it this way, and whatever is forward shows as forward." That’s a “duh” thing. Clicking on that dumb arrow, two or three times, oh this triggers really mysterious app behavior for normal directionally challenged people.
