How do you use it?

As the user above requested, would it be possible to get a brief explanation of how to implement this solution, for those of us not proficient with coding?

Many thanks for your help!

Like the two users above I would like to know how to implement this

The usage is right there in the commented out code…

Download the file and put file on Desktop.
Open Terminal and navigate to Desktop cd Desktop

You must have Xcode Command Line Tools installed. Use xcode-select --install to install them if you don't already have them installed.

Next, run the following commands one at a time (paste and hit Enter):

1. clang -shared -fmodules -o libmaps_inject.dylib maps_inject.m \
2. "$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GeoServices.framework/GeoServices.tbd"
3. cp -a /System/Applications/Maps.app ./
4. codesign --remove Maps.app/Contents/MacOS/Maps
5. DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=./libmaps_inject.dylib Maps.app/Contents/MacOS/Maps
   At this point Terminal should start doing stuff and Maps should open up.

Hope this helps

Ok thank you

Thanks! This helped a lot. It works for me.

These instructions create a new Maps.app on the Desktop which is patched. The author of the gist mentioned that it was possible to instead patch the stock Maps.app in /Applications, instead of making a second one on the Desktop. Given that I have SIP disabled, how would I go about patching the stock Maps.app instead?

Also, the patched Maps.app on the Desktop, which this process creates, quits on open when double clicked to open. To launch it, I must re-run the final Terminal command. Is there a way to have the final Maps.app launch without crashing with just a double-click, without using Terminal to launch each time?

Thanks very much for your help!

I kinda gave up. I'm a noob with this and its just giving errors and wasting time so I'm going to pass sadly. Would of been cool to see the new 3D buildings but guess not.

pretty incredible maps tbh. Didn't expect to be impressed but its a v good job by Apple.

BTW incredible findings. Hope we can have more of that "restricted" stuff.

Hey, did you get any errors and how did you fix the errors if you got them? thanks.

Hey @Hanly-Wijaya! Sorry you're having trouble. Unfortunately I don't really know enough to understand fully what that error could mean, but here's one thought:
Did you install a fresh copy of MacOS Monterey or migrate from an existing account? I'd try to start from a fresh install of Monterey and see if it works.

@Hanly-Wijaya are you using the Xcode 13.0 beta? You'll need it.

(I would post a pre-patched Maps.app, but don't want to get into trouble with copyright)

2 Options: You can patch the System Maps app in /Applications or you can automate the final command with an Automator Application, a Shortcut or any number of other automation tools for Mac. This automation option is preferable for anyone who doesn't want to turn off SIP.

Patch the System Map App:

System Integrity Protection (SIP) must be turned off.

Assuming you've done steps 1 & 2 from the previous instructions to compile, run the following commands:
4. cd /
5. cd Applications
6. codesign --remove Maps.app/Contents/MacOS/Maps
7. DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=../Users/YOUR_USER/Desktop/libmaps_inject.dylib Maps.app/Contents/MacOS/Maps where YOUR_USER is replaced by your user name, such as ../Users/Jake/Desktop

I have not tried this as I don't have SIP turned off, but it should work

when you turn SIP on it restores the default version? Thx!

Yup, I used Xcode 13 beta. I'll try the file you linked! Hope it goes well!

any idea how to get SharePlay for FaceTime for intel-macs

Thank you for the solution.

On Ventura: 3D globe view is still fully functional, but 3D city maps seem to crash every time you zoom in to a city with that feature, i.e. San Francisco, Paris, London etc. Hopefully there is still a fix for this.
