Apple Maps sort by distance doesn't work

For instance, if I search for "coffee" or "cafe" and choose "Sort by Distance", it does not display the all the closest results and displays coffees shops much farther away, for no apparent reason. I verified that the coffee shops not displayed are indeed categorized as coffee shops by Apple Maps itself, so it should display them, but never do, no matter how much I zoom in. Zooming/panning also has no effect and displays the same, far away, results - there is no "search in this area" function (after zooming in/out or panning) like most other maps applications.


I was thinking of making Maps my go-to maps app because I like the UI much better than others, but because of the inability to give me accurate/correct results for such an obvious and important map feature, I don't think I can.

Greetings!


It sounds as though you’re having issues locating the nearest coffee shops when using the built-in Maps application on your iPhone. Apple Support Communities is a wonderful place for help! 


When using Maps to search do you notice if this happens when you’re in a different location, or does it only occur in one location? If you haven’t already try restarting your device to see if the issue persists, and verify you’re running the latest iOS. You can find the steps for restarting and updating in the following article. 


Restart your iPhone

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let us know how that goes.
