    I created a map, embedded on website, works fine on desktop and Android

    Just tested it on an old iPad (with 14.4) and the map doesn't display

    Does Google My Maps work on any Apple devices; newer iPads, iPones, macs, etc.)

    Does anyone on an Apple device see the map embedded on this page -

    Yes and no.

    Works on my phone and mac. But on a phone it's almost unusable.

    The problem is it’s zoomed out too far. The coloured boxes are squeezed into the middle of the screen and the pins overlap.

    Also is satellite view which is also annoying with no option to switch.

    End user should be able to control those things, I've changed the default to map though.

    Still not working on my iPad :( do you think that is just because it is an old one?

    Probably.

    I can now zoom in but the marked areas disappear off the screen. I then have to fiddle to get them back.

    Easier on a Mac but on a phone it’s just way to awkward to use.

    Google maps seem to work fine on my Apple PCs, tablets etc, have to say though (could be my age) using maps on phone I always find difficult mainly as its on a smaller screen even though I use a pro max. The wife was slightly annoyed when I had her walking in the wrong direction around Gloucester City Centre at the weekend ......... and sadly we lived there for a few years too, I think I've been forgiven 😁
