On March 10, 2022, Apple began publicly testing its next expansion: six countries in Central Europe, including Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovenia, Apple Maps watcher Justin O’Beirne reports.
This is the eighteenth time that Apple has expanded its new map data since its public launch in September 2018.
Once Expansion #18 is released for all Apple Maps users, Apple’s new map will cover 21.6% of Earth’s land area and 11.7% of the global population (i.e., 927 million people worldwide) across thirty-two countries.
MacDailyNews Take: Congrats (soon), Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovenia!

Glad to hear, Apple Maps is unusable in Warsaw, Google
maps is the go-to for Android and iPhone users alike. I used Apple Maps recently and it got me to the right building but the coffee shop I was looking for was on the diagonally opposite corner, a few minutes walk from where I had been directed, hope this helps since I like using my Apple Watch for walking directions but not when I have to remember to switch to a different app towards the end because the data isn’t accurate.
