Maps app calls out road numbers, not names

Maps often calls out the local road number, like "Turn left on County Road 38" rather than saying "Turn Left on Rodeo Drive". I occasionally use 2 other nav apps, and neither of them do this on these same roads... so I know the road names are well known & documented.

Is this a setting? How can I get maps to call out names rather than the numbers?

If not currently available, please change

Apple Maps Defaults to Transit Directions on iPhone I have checked the Apple Maps preferences/settings and "Driving" is the selected preference on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But on my iPhone Apple Maps always defaults to "Transit" directions, on the Mac and iPad it defaults to "Driving". Any ideas how to fix? I have a 12 Pro Max and I'm on iOS 16.0.
