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.

  • Overflow Map has received an inexplicable event from the front map

    Hello, I am posting this to ask if someone can shed additional light on this error. Is it due to incorrect usage of the SafeNamedCache or an internal error?
    2006-12-07 20:33:59.190 Tangosol Coherence 3.1/339 <Warning> (thread=RMI TCP Connection(3)-127.0.0.2, member=1): Overflow Map has received an inexplicable event from the front map; such an event should not have been possible to occur. The Overflow Map will arbitrarily interpret the event in order to maintain its own internal consistency. The likely origin of the event is direct modification of the front and/or back maps managed by the Overflow Map, a MapListener making re-entrant modifications to its source map, or an ObservableMap implementation that reacts to the Map API in a manner inconsistent with the specification (e.g. actively modifying its contents in a manner that differs from the sequence of API calls made against it). This Overflow Map instance will not repeat this warning, and will attempt to silently compensate for subsequent similar event irregularities.

    It is quite strange, of course, to have confusion with which config is being used, which is why there is now a log message telling you which config was loaded. I think that the log message was introduced in version 3.1 or 3.2.
    The other thing that I do (at least when testing something) is specify the config on the command line, e.g.
    java -server -Xms128m -Xmx128m -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=C:\java\dev\test-cache-config.xml -cp coherence.jar;tangosol.jar;...
    BTW, I have downloaded 3.2.1 and will be using that for my tests. So presumably the warning/error will no longer occur? That is our expectation, since it would be a bug (unless you were doing one of the weird things mentioned in the message).
    Keep in mind that even with the message, the Overflow Map keeps going; it is just a warning (albeit a complicated sounding one) that indicates that some internal state (or event stream or lack thereof) is not what was expected as the result of one or more actions.
    I apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for taking your time to clarify it. We do work hard to avoid this type of issue (or any related confusion), and we have continued to increase our unit and regression test coverage with each release, including with respect to this issue. With that in mind, please do not hesitate to contact us (on this forum if you would like) with suggestions and other feedback; we do want to be aware of the things that our customers are looking for and would like to see improved.

  • Random Vectors/images color inverted in print, but not in PDF. Where does the fault lie?

    Sent a PDF to the newspaper printer and some of the images had inverted/strange colors. However...
    In one case I had duplicate images of a pink vector flower. SOME of the flowers were inverted, to a dark blue/black, and some were fine(pink). These were embedded vectors.
    In other instances vectors, went from orange to blue/black, pink to blue/black, and yellow/white to blue black. I specify because in one vector image, a ring, the ring was yellow, but the diamond was white, and it all changed to the same blue/black in print.
    Finally, there were two greyscale Tiff photographs of a pair of ladies. These are not embedded, and have not been altered at all and since the last time this paper has been printed, (which printed fine). This time, they were inverted. Nothing else on the page was inverted.
    As far as I can tell, there is not a separation issue, and I have saved the file from InDesign CC to pdf using the same settings as dozens of times before. The pdf on my end looks fine. The printer says they just print what they receive, but as far as I can tell, there is no issue on our end. The fact that some duplicated images printed fine, and others did not seem to confirm this. Everything is properly linked. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a pdf, InDesign, or even an adobe problem at all, or it is something on their end? I have heard of inverted colors before, but can't find a solution (especially as I can't even see the problem on my end.)
    Using Windows 8, up-to-date InDesign CC, and Acrobat Pro, Illustrator CS6 ver.16.2.0 64bit
    I have no idea what the printer uses.

    Where does the fault lie? - in an environment where they (the newsprinter) collect up front, have no responsibility for quality and arrogantly believe, perhaps correctly, that you'll be back with another paying job in the future.
    Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight or Output Preview for RGB elements.
    Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight - Checks - For Transparency Used
    Do any of these elements off color involve rgb or interact (with or near) any transparency?
    (InDesign could show these attributes via the links panel or a Live Preflight. Both can be (probably should be in your case) changed via the PDF Export)

    I'm trying to use Dictation.  Where does the text go, and how can I retrieve it?  Thank you.

    You dictate after you open a blank page in any text editor. The text goes on the page.
    You can use Text Edit for example (in your applications folder).
    With the blank page open, go to the Edit menu and select Start Dictation. When you are finished, you save the file as you would any other document. You can retrieve it, edit it or anything else you want, because it is a file like any other you create with that text editor.

  • Where does the logging in RDBMSRealm go  --and-- are some JavaDocs missing?

    Thanks Terry,

    Does anyone know what I need to do to get the RDBMS Realm log to start on
    WL6.0.
    About the missing JavaDocs: Also, if I am doing development using these
    classes I still do not
    understand why they are not on the 6.0 refernce site!
    About the missing JavaDocs,
    I see java docs for a lot of classes, but what document do I use that
    helps me to understand the entire framework? The Programming
    Weblogic Security does give this information.
    Example question: how do I get a reference to the realm to create
    users? Should I even be doing this?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you are using WLS5.1 you much set the property
    weblogic.security.realm.debug=true
    then this information will be sent to stdout. This is set to false by
    default, as there is a lot of information, and it is a big performance
    hit.
    I think weblogic likes to avoid some of its APIs being public, which is
    annoying at times, but probably reasonable

    Where does the JellyBeans Swing look & feel come from that is used in

    Nick -- Thanks for the kind words.
    While we don't have plans to make the look and feel available outside of the IDE,
    you may want to check out some of the other look and feel resources within the
    Java community such as

    There is a distinct interest in developing C# clients purely due to the
    fact
    that Swing doesnt perform and doesnt look good. JDK1.4 reportedly has
    numerous performance improvents. What is missing is a good look and feel.
    The Jelly Beans look and feel is quite good (I suspect that it is no
    accident that its flat look is similar to Visual Studion .NET.).
    I think that encouraging developers to remain with Java for GUI clients
    can
    only be good for Java and in turn J2EE as a whole. A pure java environment
    would be much better than a deliberatly mixed environment. Java RMI is
    much
    simpler than SOAP, etc.
    Aside from the ultruistic viewpoint, we would dearly like to use it in
    our
    Swing applications - perhaps we can stave off a turn to C# / .net clients.

  • Where does the Bill of substance maintained in property tree?

    Dear Experts,
    Where does the Bill of substance maintained in property tree? My understanding is it shows in section 2 in MSDS under composition tab. Please correct or confirm my understanding.
    Devdatt

    Dear Devdatt
    there are by standard two options available. Both have their pros and cons:
    a.) Standard EHS Export => a process which is not user friendly and without specific access rights can not be used
    b.) There are two other output variant available which you could check if they fulfill the needs of the users etc.:
    Check e.g. Displaying Properties - Basic Data and Tools (EHS-BD) - SAP Library
    as well as:
    Displaying Specification Data - Basic Data and Tools (EHS-BD) - SAP Library
    Regarding the first one: you can only download at max 50 properties in one run; regarding the second one: I am using this rarely but it is the most flexible one; not sure if the DG properties are supported. In any case: try it.
    If neither a.) nor b.) are the right solution: just create your onw ABAP code and prepare a suitable output variant on your own. You can use the "full blown SAP scenario" here (a.g. ALV like output variants etc.) ; you need to "only" learn from ABApcode of the standard output variant so that you are able to create your own one. This approach is quite standard and used very often
    Keep in mind. if you use STANDARD property tree and you have a lot of properties/data to be read performance is in most cases "bad"

    (WWWService) cause that's where I needed to put it for an older Apache to

  • Where does the default route come from ?

    Dear All 
    As we know, the edge router in client side gets default route from ISP' edge router. Where does the default route come from in ISP? If the ISP edge router has full route table, it produces there. If not, it comes from its upstream router until full routes table(only BGP). Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you. 

    Hello.
    While establishing BGP with ISP, there are three options for a client:
    > Default route (used in general) - client router forwards every request (for destination route) to ISP router.
    > Full route - ISP router's complete routing table would be received and maintained in client router.
    > Partial route - Only specific route would be received from ISP (Head office - Branch office scenario)
    ISP generate default route from their peering router that should have full routing table or knowledge of the router having it. A local ISP may generate default to their client and have one received from their upstream or global / larger ISP. Hope this helps.
