Now if only Maps would remember to always navigate to my custom pin location for work rather than 50% of the time taking me to the physical address.

You set the work location in your profile in contacts.

Yes I have my profile set correctly as the physical address. But my parking garage is about a half block away and so I manually adjusted the pin to the garage location. Sometimes Apple Maps will correctly automatically route me to the pin. But some of the time it decides to route me to the physical address. It’s not a huge deal because of the route is basically the same but I don’t understand why it doesn’t just work. Haha

Hmm, I haven't experienced that but I have experienced Apple Maps trying to take me through employee-only doors instead of the parking lot.

Interesting. I do that for my home address (the entrance to the underground carpark is on a different street to the actual address), with a saved “Home Carpark” location and it always navigates me there when I choose to navigate Home in CarPlay.

I can’t believe I never thought about naming it a little different so I’ll try that. Thanks!
