Apple Maps is showing Lebanon as a depopulated place. All village names erased.

Compare Lebanon, Syria and Israel.

Guess nobody lives there, they will need to send Israeli settlers to make the mountains and coastal resort towns flourish.

@Migueldeicaza they show some of the big cities but that’s it, nothing else

you can even zoom in and see marked locations like businesses, hotels, and public squares but the village or town itself is not even marked

this is so strange and scary to look at

at first I thought maybe there’s some reason for it the government doesn’t want to share the geographical data or something but Google Maps has this place so……

@xeno yes and bing maps which is not remotely as good has everything labeled.

This seems to be a recent and purposeful change.

Bing, google, Apple and open street maps:

@Migueldeicaza OT: I never noticed my user icon shows up on the search bar in Apple Maps.

I saw it on yours, thought “that’s not right”, and checked.

Sure enough, my icon is there.
