Waze shows me where speed traps etc are and I can add or subtract similar warnings. Googlemaps is supposed to have this feature, but I cannot find how to get my iPhone to do this. I have turned on Notifications etc for Googlemaps, as instructed. I connect the iPhone to my 2019 Crosstrek via CarPlay.
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
I solved all of the problems I had with Google Maps and Waze you deleting them and using Apple Maps.
Incident and hazard reporting was added to maps in iOS 14.
Do these instructions from 2019 no longer work as expected?

You do know that Waze is owned by Google?
Waze is a lot more flexible, however, because its maps are maintained by volunteers and can be updated quickly. For example, I reported an error in the location of a specific venue (it was technically the correct coordinates for the venue, but it wanted you to stop on a bridge over the venue and jump off) and it was corrected within a week to the actual entrance of the venue. You can even volunteer as a maintainer. I did.
I did know that Waze is owned by Google. Perhaps that is why it works so badly on my present brand new iPhone 12Pro and even worse on my previous iPhone. I use Waze because of the "hazards" feature, but I hate it because it requires deinstalling and reinstalling too often, many features come and go. Their directions are not as good as Googlemaps' either. Yes, I know about the volunteer aspect, but so what? Doesn't make it better in any way I can think of. I want to see if Google is any better with the "hazards" feature.
No, I didn't find any directions there, but I've seen the 2019 directions elsewhere. Turn on Notifications for Googlemaps was the main direction. That didn't change anything.
The link you sent is about the fact that Google started in 2019 to allow iOS users to use that feature.
Google isn't telling anything other than to turn on Notifications for Googlemaps, which made no difference whatsoever as I had already turned it on.
I asked on this site because I figured that other iOS users would have had the same problem and might have solved it.
Yes, but it tells you what to tap to make reports, so if you can make reports you should be able to see them.
Those features are not there. That is the whole point of my query. With Waze (owned by Google, etc etc etc), one turns on those features. With Google ?????????????//
Ask google. None of this has anything to do with Apple.
Apple maps is terrible on routing correctly. Reason enough not to use it.
Apple Maps works fine for me. And I don’t trust Google, so I avoid Google products and software whenever possible.
Gotcha. Lucky you. I don't much trust Google either, but I like accurate directions.
I would much rather take the long way round than use a google product.
You are Apple's customer. You are Google's product.
Google Maps police, hazard, etc., icons
