Toll calculator in Maps app

Please tell me when toll calculations will be available in Apole Maps. I need this information when planning longer road trips, as I do not ordinarily carry cash, so I need to make special provisions to carry enough. It is not enough to have "avoid tolls" when plotting a trip, which is a major disadvantage of the app right now; enough of us are complaining about that inadequacy that I hope we stand some chance of having that rectified in the not-too-distant future. Somebody should be collating all the toll data published by all the various states and authorities -- what a coup for Apple Maps that would be.
We potential users need to be able to make decisions on the fly about what route to use by taking traffic, time on the road, gas consumption, and tolls into account. I bought Apple iPhone 5 and iPads running OS 7.1.2 -- smart devices -- to help me make these everyday decisions more intelligently, then I run up against a roadblock in this dumb app.
I do use the app now for local trips, and like the clear directions and reliability. But if I were outside my "stomping grounds" I would have no information about strategic alternatives for routes avoiding traffic congestion through various times of the day, finding gas stations (especially 24-hour stations along the interstates), and being prepared for tolls.
Can anyone tell me how often the traffic conditions on a planned route are updated, or whether it even happens after a set of directions is downloaded?
Lots of topics here. Glad for any info I can get.

How would we know? We don't work for Apple. These are user to user forums. So unless Apple announces or documents it, you know as much as the rest of us.

How do I establish or change my "Home" location in the Mavericks Maps app?

In the Maps app in Mavericks my "Home" location is completely wrong, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.
The address itself, as it's expressed in text, is correct. But the location on the map in terms of where the address is located is entirely wrong.
How do I alter the location of "Home" in the Maps app to establish the correct location.
I have sumitted an error report to Apple to identify the problem. But this seems to be a futile effort, since I did the same thing when the Maps app was released for iPhone over a year ago and there's been no adjustment made.
So I'm looking for a way to manually correct my "Home" location on the map. Anyone know how to do this?

I have the same or similar wierd problem. For some reason, maps (and calendar when calculating travel time) believe I live some 80 km south of what I do. In another town, a street that doesn't have a similar name to mine. The address in contacts is correct. When I search for that address in maps it shows the correct address. If I type "home" in maps' search field it shows 2 homes, the wrong one and the good one (with the adress wrote). I have no idea how the wrong home got in there and how to get rid of it...
Calendar always uses of course the wrong home to calculate travel times...

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. Please help

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

"Click here to download the latest map app..." here's what you need to do...

It looks like they're pushing out the googlemap -> Bing maps update to the palm pre handsets now. The process they've come up with is kind of flawed. It's probably best to just go to the app catalog & download the new map app directly. If you wait for them to push it to you, what happens is that once you start googlemap, instead of going to the map app, it shows a hyperlink text stating "click here to download the latest map app." Clicking that link will keep you in the googlemap app, but will display a webpage designed for a full-size browser experience. You will have *no* way to zoom in to see any of the text. It's all miniscule gibberish.
Here's what you need to do. Everything you need is on the left hand side. The first field is a drop down letting you pick your country. Then, there's a field where you enter in the phone number associated with your palm. Then there's a check box that you need to check indicating that you've read whatever gibberish was written on the left side. then you click the big grey button on the lower left.
It sends an sms message to you allowing you to link to the appropriate app download. like I said...it probably would've saved you effort to just go directly to the app catalog.

Using iPhone Maps App abroad

I should start by saying that I have no problems with Maps on my iPhone 3G.
In fact I seem to have a magic iPhone judging by the posts and questions elsewhere.
My iPhone, with data roaming turned off - wifi off - 3G off, and with only a very basic 2G network with O2 in rural Wales and with only 1 to 2 bars of signal, quickly uploads the Google maps to the highest resolution (less than 1 minute). And no, the maps were not already cached on my iPhone unless someone stole it, went the remote location, used the maps app, then sneakily returned the phone. Neither do I suffer from memory lapses, nor Alzheimer's (though my children might disagree).
My questions are;
1) does this (marvellous) service actually operate over a bog standard mobile network connection?
2) will it work as well anywhere in the world with a bog standard mobile network connection?
3) will it cost me 'roaming' minutes to use the Maps app abroad.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the info. I take it then that you don't need Wifi, Edge, or 3G for Maps to work which is good news, and contrary to many of the posts I have read.
Bog standard means 'basic' thought to be a corruption of 'box standard' as in 'vanilla', 'no frills' etc. Usually used in a slightly derogatory manner, as in "my kids have ended up in a 'bog standard' school".
Thanks again.

If i search any routes by clicking directions tab,the message shows like this " DIRECTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE A ROUTE TO THE DESTINATION FROM ITS NEAREST ROAD CANNOT BE DETERMINED"

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How can I update a location in the Apple Maps app?

The location across the road from my office building shows that a high school is there, but that is not the case. The high school has not been located across the road in over 20 years. I found this error when I was updating the location information in Google Places and thought to check the location accuracy in the Apple Maps app. How can I submit for a correction to the location info?

Apple has always included a way to "report a problem" in iOS 6 Maps, but because it does so in the context of Yelp local search information, it's not readily obvious that this button is for reporting map errors rather than just filing a grievance against a business or Yelp's data (below).
Might try here...

I bought an iPhone 5s in China and the maps app is different. When I go to the US will I be able to use Apple's native app or will I be stuck with this one?

So I wanted to ask a question that my googlefoo couldn't help me solve.
I bought an iphone at a reputable electronics market here in China and it is an AT&T model phone. I bought it at one of the grey market locations because they were sold out elsewhere. I contacted a friend at AT&T to make sure it is a legit AT&T model. The phone is great and everything works perfectly including maps. But maps are done by Autonavi here in China, not Apple. I downloaded the Mavericks update on my mac and tried some of the new maps features and they wouldn't work with my phone. That's okay since I live in China now but I'll be going back to the USA soon and I wonder what will happen. Will it update the app to Apple's native one or stay with Autonavi. Autonatvi does not have the flyover features and it is not robust in the USA.
Who can help me out here? Has anyone purchased a 5, 5c, or 5s in China and gone elsewhere? Did the maps app change?
Thank you
tl;dr my china iphone has autonavi for maps not apple, when I go to the usa will I get the native app?

I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport" it replies it cannot locate it)
I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
Perhaps iOS Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
Use Google Maps instead
BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!

I want to see multiple pins on Maps app. Is this possible?

Basically, I would love to be able to click on Maps app on my iphone, and depending on where I am, see the map and any bookmarks I have saved in my phone. For example, if I wanted to pin all my contacts on a map and see pins on where they are, but ALWAYS stay there. It's also usefull for places you want to remember, that you walk by, for example. I want the pins to stay there..even if I exit the map. Let's say for example I have errands to run. So I look up the 6 places I need to go to on my bike, then make pins for them so the next day I can open up my maps app and, voila, there they are.
I've tried bookmarking pins, but this doesn't work. After a while the pins disappear. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks!

I would LOVE a solution that allowed to see, perhaps greenish pins? that pull from your bookmarks. I usually drop a pin when i find a handy wifey. SSID+Street & Street

Is there a way for the Yosemite maps app to add address to an existing contact (in contacts app) instead of creating new contact record with blank name (not useful)?

I was using the maps app in yosemite to look up an address, once I was able to verify the address, I wanted to add that address to an existing contact record in the contacts app. When I clicked on the option to add address to contacts, it unfortunately creates a new record with the address in it, however, the rest of the contact is blank.
My question is: is there a way to prompt the user (me), to select whether they want to create a new contact or add it to an existing contact?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Peter

How do I get other apps to switch to the actual Maps app instead of loading a webpage when I click on an address?

Since upgrading to iOS 6, I've noticed something irritating. Although I never used Google Maps before, I don't mind using the Maps app now because it provides turn by turn directions. Yes, I've heard the supposed horror stories, but the thing works fine for me.
However, I have run into a significantly irritating issue. Whenever I click on an address and it tells me it will launch the Maps app, it doesn't. Instead, it launches a webpage with Google Maps, which are more than useless as they only provide a list of turns. How can I get my iPhone to actually do what it is saying it will do and have it launch the Maps app instead?

I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

How to create the floating message view like Map app and Safari does?

Hi, guys,
I am trying to implement a information message view like the Map app and the Safari does.
Here is the description:
1. When you drop a pin in the Map app and then tap on the pin, you always can see a floating transparent message on the top of the pin.
2. When you tap and hold on a link in the Safari app for a few seconds, you can also see a same message view like the Map app does and without showing the disclosure button.
All I want is such kind of thing, but I had look through out the documentation and the Interface Builder components list. I can not find such a component.
Does anybody has a similar experience on implement this?
Thank you guys..

You're not going to find a control to do this for you. You will have to create a subview and set the properties (color, frame, etc) yourself.
