Apple maps search error...

Is anyone having this same issue? See included screenshot. I'm constantly getting this "no results found" when trying to look up an address with Apple Maps. I suspected it may be my surroundings but, I can immediately pull up Google Maps and find the address with no problem. It's pretty frustrating as I prefer to use Apple Maps. It's not until I am on the road that Apple maps can find the location. Why is it that Apple maps cannot find a location but Google Maps has no problem finding it?

Turn off icloud and it will work. I have the same problem. Something in my icloud data makes it do that.

Siri doesn't work either unless I turn off icloud. I don't want to have to delete all of my contacts and everything in icloud. I may have to switch to droid. I rely heavily on Siri and maps I am a truck driver. very expensive fine for using a handheld device in a commercial vehichle. Not happy.

Yes, i am also using this map for my work and i need this to work. I have switched to google maps but, when using apple maps, if you voice command the destination it will pull it up with no problem, unless the name of the location is funky to pronounce. Hopefully that helps until u find another solution or apple gets up and does something about it.

Has anyone figured out a fix? I can barely find any other forums where others have posted this issue and it's driving me nuts. My Apple Maps app on my iPhone hasn't been working for well over a month now. The only way it works consistently is to go through Siri but that's not a solution (especially when I need to enter a specific address). Otherwise I just get the "no results" error all the time.

I haven't figured anything out yet. One of these days I'm going to go to the Apple store and show someone at a Genius Bar. Sadly I imagine they'll just tell me to reinstall the operating system which is always a pain. I wish Maps functioned like other apps that can be deleted and reinstalled to try and solve the problem. When I go I'll let you know what they tell me.

managed to fix the problem on my phone. I went in and erased all of my bookmarks, and recents on all of my devices in maps. Problem solved. works fine now. Write down any saved places you want to put back in. I had bookmarks from earlier ios when google was default maps. I suspect the google maps bookmarks from the old ios may have been the problem. I am still having an issue with geofence. My location reminders only seem to work when they feel like it. they work intermittently. not reliably. any suggestions?
