How to See Your Contacts on a Map on iPhone

The Contacts app can’t show all your contacts on one map. You can open one contact’s address in Maps by tapping it, or search for a contact’s name in Maps. To see everyone you know on a single map, with directions in one tap, use a contacts app with a map, such as Starrise Contacts.
