Any word on Apple Maps having offline maps?

Coming from Windows Phone 8, I was very accustomed to using offline maps on my Lumia 920. With Nokia Drive, I was able to download an entire state map and use it to navigate offline. Since I rely heavily on GPS navigation for my job (and have limited data), I really hope Apple is working on something similar to Nokia's navigation app for WP8. Any word on this?

OK so I agree that you can get the basic street layout in airplane mode.
But I want to be able to get all the data - at very least the street names, and ideally landmark pins - which I don't currently get. Is there any way to control what level of detail is downloaded?

Is there any update regarding Apple maps from Apple...?

is there any update regarding Apple maps from Apple...? I live in sydney. I Know there are lots of issues with Apple maps but i reported more than 3 issues and i could see there is no resolution for those issues ?

Apple does not broadcast anything. The audio encoding options selected for content is controlled by the services the content comes from. Apple just distributes content they are provided with. I am not 100% sure but I believe the current ATV only supports 5.1 so it is pretty likely 7.1 could not be supported with out a new ATV device update, and they have not updated ATV in about four years now. Starting to wonder if they are going to. They used to own this market and now have pretty much lost it. You might check Amazon Fire. I think it might support 7.1. I finally gave up on waiting on Apple and bought one and am mostly happy with it.

Any word from Apple on replacement iPod firmware?

Like many others, I made the mistake of updating my 60GB iPod to version 1.1 firmware. After doing that, I ran headlong into all of the bugs (video playback losing sound, backlighting, refusal to load higher res videos, etc.)
Has anyone talked to Apple tech support to find out when Apple will be issuing new firmware?
I'd really like to get the new remote with FM radio, but it requires version 1.1 firmware and I am not willing to lose the ability to play all of the videos that I've encoded. Nor do I want the ability to download higher res videos taken away (since the higher res videos look much better over the video output to a TV).
This is my first Apple product. Is Apple always to slow to acknowledge and fix bugs? Given all of the problems with the update, it should have been pulled days ago, but it's still there and it keeps messing up people's iPods. It cost me two hours of time. Doesn't Apple care when their customers are having that kind of experience?

Thanks for the reply.
I believe that there are many iPod owners who will either not buy the remote or who will return it in frustration after they learn what the 1.1 firmware does to their iPods.
If buggy software followed by days of dead silence (in response to the ensuing complaints) is typical of Apple, I am completely befuddled by their cult-like following. As I mentioned before, this is my first Apple product. I expected that paying a premium price ($400 for a portable music player is a premium price) would get me a brilliantly designed product and top-quality support. Instead, I get firmware updates which cripple the product and Apple doesn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge the problems and remove the buggy software from its web site.

Any word from Apple??

So has Apple said anything on a patch for 7.3 yet to fix the -50 error that everyone seems to be getting?

Apple does not comment much, if at all, on non-released prducts or updates.

Any news from Apple as to when they will fix the issue that iphone 4s will not sync music with itunes?

I have tried all of the suggestions in the support communities. Itunes shows that my phone and my library are synced, however none of the changes I made to playlists show up on my phone
Is there any word from Apple as to when this will be addressed?

So this isn't just me? I'm getting on a flight in 12 hours and I've been trying to copy a book on tape over... I've got my cable but nothing will sync. It just keeps insisting I put everything on the cloud... However I can't bloody download audiobooks from the iCloud when I'm on an AIR PLANE. Would be nice to fix this up...

Apple Maps - My business location is wrong, and I don't have any iDevices to fix it

Apple Team,
I need to fix my location marker because my customers are constantly getting sent to the wrong location and having to call me for turn by turn directions when using their iPhones to find my farm. As a local farmer in Virginia, I cannot afford to have people getting lost due to an incorrect location marker. Droid users do not have any trouble making their way to my farm, however, the iPhone users always get directions to the wrong location.
I need some help in correcting this problem and hope that I can find the solution here.
My business:
Sneads Farm
18294 Tidewater Trail
Fredericksburg, VA 22408
Google, Yahoo, and Bing all have the correct address and marker location.
Google:
http://goo.gl/maps/Ielin
The iPhone provides the correct address, but the wrong location marker.
Could one of you wonderful Apple Team Members please correct the marker in your maps app? I will gladly speak with someone from Apple Maps if it is necessary.
Longitude and Latitude of my farm: 38.232452, -77.324883
Thank you so very much.

Done. Don't know how long it will take, they will email me when it has been fixed.

Apple maps working while offline?

I have a UK based sim and im traveling in the US. I've turned off my mobile data, my wifi is on and my sim has picked up the local mobile network. Today i used apple maps on the wifi at the hotel. I left the building and it worked one hour later on the street and not in a wifi zone, how? I was told apple maps doesn't work offline.

@martinaidyn
There are two issues here firstly can you not browse internet at all as Ovi Maps application would use whatever is Priority 1 in Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Destinations > Internet to go "Online" and secondly if you have moved a considerable difference to your latest city all previously stored ephemeris GPS data is outdated.
You could always go to Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning methods - temporarily disable all except Integrated GPS go outside (away from tall buildings if feasible) launch Ovi Maps and wait 20 - 30 minutes for it to lock on to new position.
Provided that regional mapping has already been downloaded (although WLAN access point needed by "Update" feature within device application) you don't need any internet or network connection for application to function.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

How much cache is available for apple maps & how long do maps remain offline?

Vector maps are stored in iphone 5 so that they can be used offline. This is the only good feature of the ios6 maps but how long do the maps last offline?

Not true. Offline data access is based on the app, which can opt to save maps (vector or raster maps) for use offline. Here's a source of geo apps that work offline http://bad-elf.com/pages/compatible-apps Many are intended for offline use so you download maps for a select country or state/province and needn't worry about internet or mobile phone service.
As of iOS 7.1, Apple Maps stores only the last viewed area necessitating an active data connection (eg, wifi or cellular) to refresh geo-data as navigating. Google Maps can be used easily but the map data must be explictly saved while online.

Apple Maps capability to work offline

Good morning. While Apple Maps is working through it's issues, I have not had a problem using the product in the Seattle metropolitan areas. Got a quick question or issue though. I went into an area where cell reception was sporadic and did not have the capabilities of using the GPS. Since the maps program is essentially using TomTom data, is there any way to load the iPhone with data for instances when you are "off the grid." It can't replace a gps if you need a connection.

I don't believe the Apple maps loads map data on the device. It functions similar to what Google maps app did in that it required a data connection to load the maps. Loading maps on the device can be done by some apps in the app store, however they carry a cost with them, as you are paying for the map data.

Any word on a fix for the Maps App?

Haven't wanted to update to new iOS because of maps... new update says nothing about fix for maps... have any of the initial Map App issues been resolved?

The big difference is you are not google customer, you are google asset, the advertiser are their customer. Do I have to tell you more how google do their business? Wake up, all these freebies are there for a reason.
I prefer Apple Maps anytime and it is getting better as we speak.
Oh my, there is little more silly than someone who accuses another of being naive and in doing so, reveal there own naivety.
You didn't know that Apple gathers as much usage data as Google? Really? How do you think they plan to make their maps better? Why do you think they want their own mapping app?
Mapping is huge business and Apple wants some of that action for themselves. That AND Jobs stating that he wanted to go thermo-nuclear on Google are the primary reasons why Google Maps was replaced by Apple Maps.
Of course Google Maps has a business model, of course they collect data on our usage. Who cares? For an amazing line of products that work 99% of the time for the entire world, it is a small price to pay. Besides, for the ultra paranoid, there are many ways to hide your true identity from Google. No so with the Apple phone and Apple apps!
Perhaps I should remind you of this:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-03/apple-must-face-lawsuit-over-iphone-dat a-collection-claims-1-.html
My primary point is that I am getting tired of Apple dictating what apps I can and cannot have! I am getting tired of Apple denying entry into the iTunes store, 3rd party apps that compete with their own. Even Google is stating that Apple may not allow Google Maps into the iDevice apps ecosystem.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/google-not-optimistic-apple-will-approve-it s-upcoming-ios-maps-app/?comments=1#comments-bar
Make no mistake, it is Apple that is the villain in this situation.
And this is no laughing matter for several reasons:
1) Apple stocks have been on a steady decline since the announcement of the iPhone 5
2) The FTC may investigate Apple's business practices once again because of the maps issue
3) People ARE decided NOT to buy into Apple because of these problems
Those in this forum that are quick to say, "get lost, go buy an Android" are not helping Apple. If you think that Apple can't die, you are really naive! Apple can become irrelevant quicker than you think.

Why can't I delete any of previously found destinations in the apple maps?

Is there a way to delete destinations in apple maps, like there is in mapquest or gpsdrive?

What restrictions did you set on her iPad ? If you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps set 'off' on it then you will need to change it to 'on' to be able to delete downloaded apps.

Is there any way to disable toll roads with Apple Maps?

One thing that stops me from using Apple Maps is the lack of avoiding toll roads.
Is there a way to do this? If not, will there be an option to do so?

no. and no one knows what options Apple may add to the maps app in the future. Google maps has this option.

Apple Maps and Yelp app integration....errors beyond belief

Has anyone else ever experienced when you launch driving directions to a business from within the Yelp app, that even though Yelp has the address correctly, and will show it correctly on the map.....that Apple Maps gives completely innacurate directions, and in many cases will drive me going AWAY from the business. The other day I had this happen again, and it had been awhile since I had used Apple Maps. I figured I've heard that they are constantly improving so I decided to give it a try again. I launched directions to a business from the Yelp app, and after driving for quite awhile I started to get suspicious. Something wasn't right. So I fired up Google Maps App, and sure enough, Apple was taking me in the opposite direction from the business! It had put me on the correct road, but had me driving away from where I needed to be.

I am having the same problem. Patients are being led to the wrong side of the street for the following business location:
Cornea Associates of Texas
10740 N Central Expy #350
Dallas, TX 7523
Correct Location Markers (northbound/right side)
Google Maps: https://plus.google.com/111531864240926008033/about
Bing Maps: http://www.bing.com/local/details.aspx?lid=YN826x243064299
Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/cornea-associates-of-texas-dallas-2
Incorrect Apple Location Marker (southbound/left side)
Can someone help me fix/report the marker location? I do not have access to any devices that have the iOS6 software.
Thanks!

IOS 7 Apple Maps?

Is it only me or is someone else also having problems with the Apple Maps? I know it just came out and it's not perfect-perfect.. but this was just weird.
I set my destination to a local Starbucks. The pin drops and it is clearly to the left of my current location. The GPS literally took me in a circle telling me to make right turn after right turn.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon!

Unfortunately, when you select the right arrow, the address and services are missing. Below are steps to recreate the issue. These are the same steps I took in iOS6 and never had any problem - it wasn't until the upgrade to iOS7 that Maps now erases the address and contact info for all bookmarks.
Saving a bookmark
Enter search criteria in Maps search field
Click '>'
Click 'Add Bookmark'
Recalling bookmark after opening Maps - after Maps was completely closed from the recent apps window
Open Maps
Click on book in upper right (right of search bar)
Select 'Bookmarks' in lower bar
Select appropriate Bookmark
Pin is dropped at location
Click '>'
Address is now gone and 'Directions to Here' is not an option

Apple Maps - How long does it take for a new entry to be approved?

Like many other small business, my listing is missing in the new Apple Maps app and customers are having difficulty in finding me on their iphones.
Last Friday I attempted to add my business using these instructions - http://www.didgeroo.com/blog/41-tips-tricks/282-how-to-add-your-business-listing -to-apple-maps I also added a listing to Yelp.
It's almost a week now and my business still does not appear when searching Apple Maps. My Yelp listing is there, but nothing in Apple Maps.
Has anyone had any luck adding their business to Apple Maps? How long did it take to appear after you submitted a report?
I guess there must be a huge backlog at Apple. Would be nice if the process was more transparent - e.g. details of the approval process would help.

I'll take a look. This is pure speculation - I am guessing that the department store updated because there were enough signals from other data sources that confirmed your change. For example, I believe Apple's primary source of business listings data in Switzerland is TomTom. If you search for Globus in Zurich in TomTom at https://mycompany.places.tomtom.com/ there is a result for the address Theaterstrasse 12 zurich - http://places.tomtom.com/de_ch/detail/globus/zurich/63747953026467150.
So perhaps Apple was getting signals from other data sources that conflicted with TomTom and signaled "EPA". And your update overrode all of the other signals because it matched the TomTom data. BTW, not sure this means anything, but there are two listings for this business in TomTom. One of them links to the wrong website I think https://www.google.com/search?oq=site%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&q=si te%3Atomtom.com+Theaterstrasse+12+zurich&pws=0
Of course, it could have been any number of other screw-ups as well
You may want to search all of the known data suppliers and Google for queries like "epa Theaterstrasse 12 zurich" to try to find the out of date data sources. If you find any let us know, as this will be a key "paper trail" to figuring out how Apple gets some of it's data.
