Why isn’t Maps working in Cyprus?

We’re other users, not folks that work for Apple.

And I’m presuming this is navigation- or dirextions-related, and not a more general issue with the availability of terrestrial or satellite maps. Which should be available, per: iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability - Apple

Not working in what way? Specifically?

Many, but not all, Apple Maps features are available in Cyprus. Here is a detailed list of feature availability in Apple Maps by country: iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability - Apple

Sorry about the duplicate post. That first reply wasn't there at first.
