Apple Maps not showing correct traffic info on Mac?

Why is Apple Maps only showing partial traffic info? I thought I was going to see lots of reds, oranges and yellows. How come only a few busy streets are shown?

NYC traffic is busy at all times. The top pictures are from Apple Maps the bottom is Google maps for comparison. Am I doing something wrong?

Traffic Not Showing on Apple Maps My Apple Maps no longer shows red and yellow traffic areas en route! I’ve checked my settings and nothing has fixed it. Anyone else experienced this issue? (The traffic option is checked, my location is on. These are suggestions I found online, none of which resolved my issue).

Street maps gone from my Apple Maps?! A week or so ago, I opened Apple Maps on my desktop (Mac Studio running current Monterey) and there are so streets, only a blank grid. When I search out a location, the info bubble appears and points to nothing. The satellite view shows the aerial imagery but with no street names and minimal labeling. Is there anyway of fixing this that is easier than an OS re-install?? Thanks!

I can't fix an incorrect route in Apple Maps. It is not showing up under REPORT ROUTE ISSUE For some reason, Maps keeps sending people coming to my hours into a graveyard (I don't live in a graveyard). I just went out and used Maps to guide me home and it did it again. But when I go into REPORT ROUTE ISSUE, that roue does not show up. How do I fix this? I have had at least 10 delivery people driving around a graveyard when trying to reach my house. Waze and Google Maps both work properly. And this is THE WORST reporting software I have ever used. No Maps? No "other iOS software"? Nothing for me to put this in.

Probably as you zoom in on Maps you will see more detail of traffic.

It has long been established that Apple Maps is a very poor brother to Google Maps.
