Apple Maps (IOS 6)
Hi There,
I've updated my iphone to IOS 6 and now google maps had been replaced by "Apple Maps". the problem I'm facing now that when i try to find a directions between 2 places (in the middle east) a message appears saying that "Direction not available". Although, in IOS 5 (Google Maps) it was working wounderfully and it gave me the directions between any to drop pins I choose.
does any one know what to do ?? I tried to dwonload other maps applications like (Google earth) but it does not give me the option to choose the directions between to drop pins.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

IOS 7 Apple Maps bookmarks - no addresses
I type in an address in Apple Maps, a pin appears and I "Bookmark" the pin and give it a name. Then, once maps is quit and relaunched, I can find the new bookmark in the bookmarks list, but there is no address. It just says "Create New Contact, Add to Existing Contact, etc." In IOS 6, bookmarks would always save the addresses. If I save it as a contact, it does save the address, but I'd rather use Bookmarks for some locations (since that's what it's for). Does anyone know why Bookmarks is not saving my addresses?
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 -
Where are my bookmarks in Apple maps after the iOS 8 update?
What happened to my bookmarks in Apple maps now that I have upgraded to iOS 8?
They will show up when you are in the field to Seach or Enter an Address:
Bookmarks for maps in iOS 8 missing
When you are getting Directions between 2 locations, however, they don't show up (for me); just start typing the name of the Favorite or Recent or Contact, and choices will appear. -
I have the latest iOS 6.1.3 but Apple's Maps icon still only the 2D version. Any suggestions?

I just changed to ios 6. I live in Thailand. Ignoring the comments on Apple Maps in the internet, I thought I try it out. I am using an IPad 3 with German language. When calling Apple Maps, I noticed to my surprise, that all street names are placed in Thai Alphabet, there is no Roman letters as are vital to be able to know where you are and where you want to go, if you cannot write Thai. Google Maps has that, of course, as does any naviagtion system in Asia. Does anyone know a) how to change/add the street names in Latin letters or b) how to uninstall IOS 6 and return to the previous version, so that I can use the Maps feature again? Thanks
Has the question been answered yet? iOS 6 is out now. Is there a way to save Google maps bookmarks from an iPhone 4 to Apple maps on a new iPhone 5 using iOS 6? Please let us know. I must have 100 bookmarks, some for out of the way places without addresses.

Can new Apple maps be installed on IOS 5?
As i want to find out how new Apple map works and helping to improve Apple maps i would like to test it;
But i love the "old" maps on IOS 5 and want to use it.
Is there a way to have both apps on the ipad?
Thank you!Google is reportedly working on a maps app of their own, but no guarantees that it will ever be approved and released. We'll just have to wait and see. As Demo said, there is no way to install Apple's Maps app on iOS 5.

Both mac osx mavericks and ios7 are logged in with the same icloud id.
Here's a screenshot of the apple maps app on OSX mavericks.

Why doesn't my iphone show up in the share options?Hi dlinhardt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't see your iPhone in Maps on OS X, and you've confirmed you're signed in with the correct iCloud account (Apple ID), try these steps from our troubleshooting article next:
OS X Maps: Share menu doesn't list iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5293
3. Quit OS X Maps and try again.
Quit the Maps app, then open it again.
Click the Share button. If you still don't see your devices, continue to the next step.
4. Sign in to FaceTime or Messages on your Mac.
Sign in to either FaceTime or Messages. In Messages, you should be signed in to your iMessage account, not another type of account. If you're already signed in, continue to the next step.
Restart your computer. After the computer restarts, you should be asked to enter your iCloud password and click Log In.
If you still don't see your devices in Maps, quit Maps, then open it again and check for your devices once more.
All the best,

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used religiously no longer exist, but clicking on an address in a website now directs users to a poor Google Maps interface. I am surprised to see such a effortless update from a company squatting on the resources to make a change its customers are asking for.

Apple has documented an API to provide add-ons to the Maps app in the iOS 6 SDK, so that such add-ons are possible is absolutely not a guess that the capability is there. As to whether someone will indeed develop an add-on for any given transit system, that would be a guess, yes, but at a couple of companies at least have already announced plans to do so.
In select cities and areas - so now I'm going from being able to supply this information myself to either wait for someone to supply an app or write an app myself... This is not feature progression but feature regression. Adding transit times or a specific overlay should not have to be something you need to do through code via an API. So no dice... Your guess that we will see better transit information is just that - a guess, nothing else.
If you don't agree with that editorial, you are certainly free to do so. I provided the link as food for thought for those who have been questioning Apples' decision to drop Google's maps from iOS. Whether or not you agree with Brad's analysis or that of anyone else is up to you.
But on that central issue the editorial fails - it's is not the true tale of why Apple made their move and therefore useless even as "food for thought" (because it's guesswork). -
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.

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...

Why is apple maps syncing my favorites?
Whenever I add a favorite in "maps" it gets synced to my other ios devices.
So far I haven't found a way to turn that off.
Every option in iCloud is turnef off.I don't even have a SIM card inserted into the device, so I don't see how that could impact it. All other download services are working fine, with consistently about 15-20Mbps download speeds on Comcast. It is only Apple Maps that seems to have an issue. Trying TopoMaps, e.g., the map loaded instantly on places I have never searched before (ergo, map tiles were not cached).

I hate Apple maps, will Marvericks give me option to sync contacts with google maps?
Will Mavericks let me sync contacts with google maps or require sync to Apple Maps as does i0s7. I hate Apple maps.
I have exactly the same issue. I updraged my iphone4 to iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes to version 10.5.2.11. I'm also running Windows7, but 32bit.
And I can also confirm this used to work both ways.
Good thing is that the iTunes backup and restore kept the new iPhone contacts on my device during the upgrade. But they are still not syncing to google.
So the bad news is that its broken and has been for some time now.
anyone? -
How can I link google results to Apple maps?
Before iOS 6 and Apple maps, I could tap on google address search results which would open google maps and use the results there.
Now, I only can use them in the web app or still google maps. While there is a multitude of ways to re-link them to google maps, I was wondering if there is a way of linking those results to Apple Maps instead?Copy and paste
