maps synch Mac to iphone

Is anybody actually synching their MAPS favorites on a MAC to their iPhone, or vice versa? If so, can you tell me what are the Settings on the MAC. Please dont respond with theory. I only want actual real life experience.

I understand that iCloud Drive is for documents, I just mentioned it because other users had reported it worked for them. Also it does give you the option to turn on/off Maps in the "Apps syncing to iCloud Drive" section, even though Maps doesn't save documents.

It is worth uninstalling Sophos just to see if it solves the problem. Internet and syncing activity is done through ports on your internet connection. Mail is on port 25, Internet on port 80, Push Notifications on 2195, and so on. Antivirus can block some of these ports while it is monitoring the outgoing and incoming network data.


Did you check the iCloud Drive setting at  > System Settings > your name > iCloud > iCloud Drive?

Not sure if it will help, but worth a shot.

Making sure the Sync this Mac is on and when clicking on "Apps syncing to iCloud Drive", making sure Maps is on.

You are using the App successfully on both devices with those settings?


Reason ask: I just spent 2 hours with an Apple Senior Advisor who was viewing both device screens simultaneously, and SHE could not get it to work.


What MAC and OS version do you use? What iPhone and iOS version are you using?


Are your FAVORITES synching between devices?
