Reinstall Maps app

Hi,

I somehow deinstalled or deleted my Maps app. Where can I get it, to install it again? I can't find it in the Appstore nor the apple.com webpages. Any ideas?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Greetings amaridev,


The Maps app comes preinstalled on all iOS devices. System apps cannot be deleted, unlike apps downloaded from the App Store. There is a chance that the Maps app was placed in a folder at some point. If this is the case you can search for the Maps app easily by using Spotlight:

In the event the app cannot be found via Spotlight, it may be a sign of issues with your device software. You will have to reset the device to factory setting to restore the Maps app:
