Hi @coderunnerone1

I need more information to help you.

2. Which version of iOS
3. Do you have Xcode installed, if so which version?
4. Whats your system language on your mac (anything other than english ?)
5. Which version if LocationSimulator are you using ?

[coderunnerone1]

macOS Monterey 12.6.2

iOS 16.2

No Xcode

System Language is english

I just noticed that the offical apple maps app is doing a similar thing, the map is a grey box and I cant close the "Whats new in apple maps" popup

[coderunnerone1]

Is there a way to change the map provider from apple maps to like open street map or somthing

[Schlaubischlump]

I can not reproduce the error. I uninstalled Xcode on my test machine to produce the same error log you send me, but everything is still working.

Do you have changed the time on your mac by any chance ? MapKit sometimes has problems if you do not automatically set the time on your computer.

Is the Apple Maps app working correctly?

I assume LocationSimulator is able to access the internet. That means you are connected to the internet and you have not installed any applications that block the internet traffic ? Otherwise the map will obviously not load.

[Schlaubischlump]

I didn't see your answers before. Sorry about that. Changing the provider is not easily possible. It would require almost a complete rewrite.

Are you using a hackintosh or something like this ? I have seen this behavior before (in virtual machines), when the GPU acceleration is not working correctly.

[coderunnerone1]

yeah im using a old 2011 macbook air

i used OCLP to update to Monterey, Is there a fix for the acceleration problems, My mac is non-metal

[Schlaubischlump]

Can you send me the processor and graphics information you can find in the "About this mac" dialog ?

[Schlaubischlump]

If I understood everything correctly, Apple dropped the GPU support for Intel GMA with macOS Big Sur. You could in theory downgrade to macOS Catalina. Then everything GPU related should be working again.

[coderunnerone1]

its a 1.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 and Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB

[Schlaubischlump]

Sadly I haven't found a way yet, besides downgrading. It does not seem to be possible to disable the GPU acceleration for Maps / MapKit and there does not seem to be a way to enable it either for your GPU on macOS version after Catalina :/

Does the Maps app work if you boot the mac in safe mode?

[coderunnerone1]

I downgraded to catalina and everything works now. Also i have a feature suggestion, you should add a feature where you can right click on a location and you can choose to navigate or teleport there without having to drag your location marker

[Schlaubischlump]

You can long click. You don't have to drag the marker
