Navigation directions were screwed up and in one infamous example, Apple Maps sent drivers looking to travel to Mildura in Australia to the Outback by mistake. These unfortunate iPhone users experienced temperatures as high as 115 degrees Fahrenheit while driving through dangerous terrain covered with poisonous snakes, with very little access to water. Police in Australia called Apple Maps “life-threatening.”

Tap on “Add a Note” and you will be sent to a page where you are prompted to write what you want to remember about the place you are getting directions to. Only the person whose device is being used to write the note will be able to see it. For example, you might want to remind yourself when you’re driving to the Benihana located on West 56th Street in New York City that the steak and chicken dinner is to die for.
This is a great unheralded feature that Apple Maps users should be able to find a reason to use and Google Maps users will want to have.
