Must be one of the ids in this publisher's own cities[] list (the city filters Apple shows on the publisher page); any other id returns a 404.lang (optional) — display language as a BCP 47 tag, e.g. en-US, fr-FR. Defaults to en-US.country (optional) — two-letter ISO 3166-1 code, e.g. US. Defaults to US.An unknown publisher id returns a 404. Each guide's id is the value /apple-maps/guides/guide takes.
