Dan Moses asks:
Hello, recently I noticed on “My Places” option is showing recent history of locations that I never have been to but drove past on the freeway. The map is making it seem like I go or search for these random places like hotels and night clubs. But I never did. It seems when I open my maps while driving, it marks places around me automatically and places them in my recent searches. Is this an error? Are my maps on iPhone set to automatically find certain places and place them in “My Places” search history?
