Is anyone able to edit their “My Maps” on your iPhone or IPad? I can open the custom map but cannot do anything else really. Is this unavailable and only available on Android and computers?
Thank you!
As far as I know, My Maps has never been available in iOS. Maps can be viewed but not edited in iOS. Editing requires either the My Maps app on Android or a desktop browser.
I can edit if I open the chrome browser on my iPad and do it. MyMaps has never been iOS friendly.
Im not aware of anyway you can access your 'My Maps' from within MapKit. One option would be to use Route Me which is an open source map view for iOS. Its fairly well developed now and straight forward to implement. I'm not sure specifically how you would use your maps, but changing a few URLs here and there in the code should do the trick.
At that point, if you're rendering google maps, you should abandon MapKit and use the Google Maps iOS SDK (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start)
I'm not sure from there's a native binding in there to access 'My Maps'.
I recommend you look at MapBox that provide full Map tiles customization as well as markers and overlays that can be used in iOS almost without any effort.
I came across a worldwide bikepacker who has a google “My maps” on her website for followers to follow along with the progress of her around-the-world bike trip.
I want to do something similar - essentially a map that I can update regularly to show where I’ve been. However, I found you cannot create a “my maps” with iphone or ipad, which are the only two devices I have. Is anyone aware of any workaround or alternative mapping software that I could use?
ps- I’m guessing the bikepacker I’ve followed probably has a laptop that she carries with her.
