iOS 16.5 issues with Siri and Apple Maps

Apple wish you would fix these problems that have existed for most of iOS 16.x.x


Unfortunately the following issues still exist:


In CarPlay or while Apple Maps is navigating the following used to work:


If maps are not the focus in iOS 15.x you could ask Siri to show the map. Now when you ask this Siri asks what business you want to search for.



Show Route Detail or show detail - This now tries to search the web

Show Route Overview or show overview - Tries to search the web

Map zoom in or Zoom in - Sometimes tries to search web, sometimes says you can change this is zoom settings (not a valid suggestion)

Map zoom out or Zoom out - Sometimes tries to search web, sometimes says you can change this is zoom settings (not a valid suggestion)


Have logged a complaint with tech support, but no results yet.


Of course this makes driving less safe, as now you have to touch the display to make these changes that used to be enabled with voice.

Yes, I also have posted about these issues with no response from Apple. My assumption is that it's too difficult and/or time-consuming for their programming team to get Siri to interact with the maps app. Their answer appears to be to simply ignore the problem. It is puzzling though that I used to be able to ask Siri "What is my next turn?" and it would answer correctly. Now it does a nonsensical search of the web. Their tech is actually going backwards! If Steve Jobs were still at the helm I doubt this problem would even exist. These days customer input takes a backseat to their corporate desire to make money, no matter the cost in unhappy customers.
