  • HT5429 Is there a way to turn off the turn-by-turn navigation voice from the map app itself without ending the directions?

    I know that it is possible to turn off the voice for turn-by-turn directions completely (in the settings menu), but is there a way to temporarily silence the voice from the maps app itself? For example, if I am driving to the freeway from my house I know how to get there and do not want my phone talking to me, but I would like to keep the directions active and turn on the voice once I need it later in the directions. Is there an easy way to do this without going to the settings app each time?

    I don't think there's any way to do it, but I'd like that feature as well: on long trips I listen to an audiobook and when I'm travelling routes that I already know well, I mostly want to use navigation to route around any traffic that might occur.
    In both cases, the voice directions aren't welcome, and I can get by with the on-screen display… and in other GPS navigation software or hardware I've had, muting the voice was an easily accessed option.  (Garmin USA on the iPhone, for example, has a 'mute' icon available right on the maps display).
    I've requested that feature at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html - you may wish to do the same.

  • Map app for multiple routes?

    Is there a map app that will let you save different legs of a journey?
    Say we're touring, and there are multiple places we'd like to see that day. Is it possible to route out point A to B, then B to C, C to D, and so on? And also possible to store the info offline?
    I've searched though a bunch of map apps and haven't seen anything that does this specifically.
    TIA

    I have the navigon app (just updated for multitasking) and it will save routes with multiple destinations. It's fairly expensive (about $50), but it seems to do a nice job especially with the iPhone connected to the car audio system. It will fade down the music, podcast, etc. and give voice directions. I've been using it instead if my stand-alone gps.

  • Map app is Dangerous- It does not provide Voice Direction.  I almost made an ACCIDENT! You can't expect to drive while looking at the screen

    Map app is dangerous
    it does not provide any voice direction. I almost made an ACCIDENT.  You Cannot expect anyone to drive while looking at the screen.

    Correct the Map app does not give audible turn by turn navigation. It does not advertise as doing so. There are many GPS applications which are avaialble that do.
    Like any device use of common sence is in order. From the Important Product Information Guide, one of which can be found here.
    Driving and Riding Safely Use of iPhone while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle may be distracting. If you find using iPhone disruptive or distracting while driving or riding, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call. Use of iPhone alone or with headphones (even if used only in one ear) while driving or riding is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Consider using a compatible hands-free device with iPhone. Use of a hands-free device may be required in some areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations regarding the use of mobile devices like iPhone in the areas where you drive or ride. Navigating Safely Do not rely on iPhone applications that provide maps, digital compass headings, orientation information, traffic information, directions, or location-based navigation to determine precise locations, proximity, orientation, distance, traffic conditions or direction. These applications should only be used for basic navigation assistance. Maps, directions, and location-based applications depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps, digital compass headings, directions, traffic conditions or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. iPhone contains an internal digital compass located in the upper-right corner of iPhone. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be negatively affected by magnetic or other environmental interference, including interference caused by the close proximity of the magnetscontained in the iPhone earbuds. Never rely solely on the digital compass for determining direction. Compare the information provided on iPhone to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
    Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that require your full attention. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using iPhone.

  • HT4528 My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on th Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now my iPhone 5 has the same problem.

    My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app.  I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5.  What's going on with iCloud?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • I have the original iPad 5.1.1.  I am looking for an app to send message by voice . It's for a family member with physical limitations .. So if anyone has a recommendation please let me know thanks

    I Have the original iPad 5.1.1
    iam looking for an app that can use voice to send text/messages its for a family member with physical limitations

    I have the free version of this app that limits you to a 5MB file, but it does work. It requires iOS 3.1. I'm not sure how well the paid version works or what the limitations are.

  • 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

  • I am looking for a map app that will allow me to place pins where my clients offices are on a map and keep them save every time I open the app. Does anyone out there know of an app that will do this?

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
    Disclaimer: I have virtually no relationship with anything connected with this tutorial product, developer, or anything.

  • Looking for voice to text app as good as Droid......anyone know of one?

    I'm looking for a voice to text app that is incorporated in actual text messaging similar to Droid that I can use on my 3GS. Anyone know of one?

    To straighten things out: You mean you are looking for a messenger application ie SMS or MSN with voice to text capability?
    AFAIK there is no messenger client to iOS that has incorporated voice to text capability. Yet. However, Nuance has now released their SDK to all iOS developer to incorporate Voice to text capability so it should be just a matter of time now before your favorite messenger app gets V2T.
    Voice recognition is an even harder challenge not at least due to all kinda dialects and strange pronunciations and very few has the economic power and skills to create a good and working Voice to Text. Nuance (Dragon Dictate) is one of the few who knows about it.
    The reason Dragon Dictate App on iOS "exports" the text to other third part app the ways it does is due to security reasons (every app is sandboxed).
    Dragon Dictate v2 supports iOS4 and after "voicing" you just hit the key to which you want to send it to: SMS, e-Mail, Twitter, Facebook..

  • Battery drain with ios6   apps crashing!   google maps app is gone. The Apple version is like asking a blind man for directions! Awful. As consumers we are caught up in the squabbles between Apple and Google, and we pay the price.

    Does anyone else have battery life problems with the iOS6 update? Some of my other apps crash constantly, bringing my reading or workflow back to the home screen. The new map App is a disaster! Is there an online petition to have Apple bring back the Google map app? It is like asking a blind man for driections! Addresses, postal codes, locations, area codes and phone numbers in the Vancouver BC area are consistently wrong! AUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!

    As someone who spends a lot of time writing reviews (for vidya gaems ;P) I enjoyed your review. I am also looking at getting a new phone soon (I am saving up to buy out on refresh). I was considering th next iPhone but from reading your review I may consider this device instead. What I need to know is this. When the phone is in a phone holder which you have in a car for example does the screen get pressed at the sides? I don't wan't to open up Waze put my phone in a holder and it get cancelled out by what it thinks is a button press. Also, is the screen goign to be scratched easy? I am guessing there is no decent screen guards yet. I did buy some screen protection liquid that was recommended on these forums and my lumia still got scratched by about an inch or so.

  • Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

    Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?
    It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.
    Cheers!

    No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

  • What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

    I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
    But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
    Can anyone help me on this?  Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
    Thanks, Joan

    You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done. 
    No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
    Best of luck.

  • Flash Alternative for developing app with lots of 2D Animation

    First let me say, I know Flash does not run on iPad. And I'm not looking for an alternative to Flash Video.
    I want to create an app for the iPad, with a lot of full screen, 24 frames-per-second animation. Basically an interactive Animated Movie, like the game Dragon's Lair, from days of yore.
    I know how to do this in Flash, using the timeline and drawing and animation tools, and using Actionscript to track user clicks and trigger events in the movie.
    Are there any alternative tools I can use for iPad app development, that will allow me to:
    -- Draw directly in the tool
    -- Do frame by frame animation in the tool
    -- Uses a timeline
    -- Uses vector images to keep the file size down
    -- Has a scripting language that will allow me to track the user clicking on invisible buttons and trigger new animations?
    I've looked at all of Apple's Developer tools for the iPhone and iPad, but they all seem to use Bitmapped Sprites which would make the file size way too big, and animation a nightmare.
    Thanks in advance for any help on this.

    Well, there are several 3D game developers for the iOS operating system including EA Sports and id Software's Doom Engine. And in the Apple Software Development Kit for iOS, there are numerous API's for game development. I think you should google game development for the iOS (ipad and iphone), and see what they've got.
