In Apple maps on my Mac I can click on an icon representing, say, a restaurant and a little box pops up telling me its name and other info. Maps on my iPhone has the same icons, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get any details about the business represented by the icon. Is there a way to do this?
Hello Stuart,
If you want information about a place icon in Maps on the iPhone you would tap the icon to bring up the banner for it then tap the > at the right for more info.
Get info about a location. Tap a pin to display its banner, then tap >. Info might include Yelp reviews and photos, a phone number (tap to call it), a webpage link, directions, and more.
I just tested on my iPhone with several locations.
Where is it not working for you?

Well, now that I try it again it works perfectly. I am sure it never worked before, and I tried just before posting. Well, at least it's working now.
Now I think I know what it is. The icons that appear in Find My Friends don't work. The ones in Maps do. Still a little odd.
Hi Stuart,
Good catch. You are right. Find My Friends is not a replacement for Maps.
Now we know.
Thanks,
