Apple Maps gets crowdsourced accident reporting that works with Siri
Apple Maps is finally getting crowdsourced accident reporting. The feature was unearthed in the iOS 14.5 beta and will allow you to report an accident, hazard or speed trap on the road.
The same sought-after feature has been available for Google Maps and has been a staple of Waze, but Apple Maps adds a new element - hands-free reporting. You will be able to use Siri to report something on the go. For instance saying "Hey, Siri, there's a crash up ahead".

This is only one of the features to become part of iOS 14.5. It will also let you set third-party music apps as default player for Siri, bypassing FaceID while wearing a mask if you have an Apple Watch and bring dual-SIM 5G support.

in germany apple maps is worthless. although i am not a google fan at all, google is so much better and just seems to know almost every little path and obstacle along the most remote country roads. so sorry, but that's my experience.

It will not make any difference. Apple Maps is rubbish. End of story.

Dude, literally no one was even talking about Apple Maps. Insufferable rabid Apple hater. You just whine over Apple even when no one talks about it. The guy was talking about Google maps and I was talking about HERE WeGo. And you just have to plow in...
