Apple Maps - visible scale
How do you get the distance scale to stay visible in Apple Maps (either iPhone/iPad to iMac versions)?
iPhone SE (3rd generation)
Hi StephepX5,
Currently, there is no way to have the distance scale visible at all times. But when zooming in or out, it will show.
Please make sure you've set your Apple Maps view to 2D as the scale with NOT show in 3D.
To show the distance scale in Apple Maps on a Mac, you can:
- Choose View
- Choose Show Scale
You can also show the scale as you zoom by choosing View > Show Scale.
To change the distance units in Apple Maps on an iPhone, you can:
- Open Settings
- Go to General > Language & Region > Measurement System
- Set the measurement system to Metric
This change will be system-wide across your device.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Many thanks!
