Apple Maps navigation - preferences?

I have just stumbled across Apple Maps Navigation on my new iPhone 5c iOS7
It looks great but coming from TomTom app, is there a way to change some settings and preferences so no voice, different colour road navigation etc?
I can't see anything on the actual app itself?

You can make some limited changes in Settings>Maps.

Apple Maps Navigation Doesn't Work on 3G on iPhone 5

Has anyone else noticed that on iPhone 5, Apple Maps defaults to non-voice guided navigation when LTE is purposely turned off?
Since navigation is supposed to work on the iPhone 4S, I assumed that while on 3G the navigation should work. But it doesn't.
I have the switch set to off to preserve battery life, plus have really bad LTE coverage here anyway.

It will not find another phone. This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices, some keyboards, some apps from the app store, and internet tethering if provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to a phone or computer.

Getting "iPhone needs to cool down" warning while using Apple Maps

I bought the iPhone 6 yesterday and today I used the Apple Maps navigation on it. Not 30 mins into the navigation I got following warning from the phone "iPhone needs to cool down". 30 minutes of GPS usage is not too much. This happened twice. Are other ppl. having the same issue or is it just my phone?
Thanks,
Anupam

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I agree. I liked the previous map app. The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think. No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin. Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had. Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

Why my ipad 4 wifi only can't use full funtion of apple map?

Hi, i had an ipad4,but i can not use full funtion of apple map .it mean when i use gps navigation it do not speak ,it only bold the road you set .that 's it. So please someone help me out.or gps only work on wifi + cellurlar

Only the cellular iPads have a built-in GPS chip, the wifi-only models don't. There are some external GPS units that apparently work with it e.g. Bad Elf GPS.

How much data does the apple maps app use per hour ?

hello,
i would like to know, if somebody could give me a rough number of how much the Apple Maps app uses per hour for navigation ?

Apple's Maps app uses vector graphics, so it doesn't have to download data everytime your view changes, & also has an offline mode...you can download quite a large area over WiFi & then use this cache to navigate.
So, I really wouldn't worry too much about its data usage. Most tests I've read indicate it uses about 80% less data than Google Maps.

Best way to input Apple Maps destination by voice?

I just got Siri Eyes Free integration added to my car, so I am switching from Waze and Google Maps to Apple Maps so I can enter desitinations by voice by simply hitting button in the steeting wheel. However, so far I am very disappointed with Apple Maps.
Using the Apple Maps to enter an address by voice has been very frustrating and unreliable.
I have had Apple Maps send me to the wrong desitnation twice in the last week. I think I have figured out "why," but the "reason" is still not really an excuse that justifies the problem.
I asked Siri for "Directions to Walmart in (city name)." Siri responds with something like "I found a Walmart near (city name) on Green Street. Is that the one you want?" The Walmart was indeeed on that street, so I said. "Yes."
Siri then said something roughly equivalent to "Routing to 123 Main Street."
That makes no sense, It just said it found Walmart on Green Street. It proceded to give directions to a desitination on the other side of town on "Main Street.".
Today I asked for directions to a Comcast office and had the same expirience of it routing to a different address then the location of the business I asked for..
I figured out that both times Apple Maps was routing me to the town center of each town instead of the specific place I originally asked for.
To "work around" this issue I found that I could rephrase the request in a more convulted way and it would get me to the correct directions.
I tried asking Siri to "Find Walmart in (city name)" and then Siri found it asked if I want to call it or get directions. I said "Get directions" and then Apple Maps actually routed to the correct destination instead of the city center.
This needs to be fixed. It is clearly a bug. The first time it happened I didn't notice it had said a different street name in the second response than it said when it asked "is that the one you want?" so I ended up driving several miles out of the way. The workaround I found to bypass the issue is alot of unecessary work especially if you have to pick from a list of several possible locatons.
Is there a more relaible and short way to make Apple Maps give correct directions to a place of business when it is entered via voice command?
The second problem I had was when I submitted a residentual street address by voice. This is is even more frustrating because it keeps trying to route to addresses in cities hundreds of miles a way.
I will ask for directions to a street address in a neighboring town and Apple Maps will say it is going to route to an address with similar street name in a city that is no where near where I am instead of the street that is in the neighboring city. Sometimes it will get it after repeating the command a second or a third or a fouth time.
Sometimes it will work if I say the zip code instead of the city name and sometimes that doesn't work and it will say it can't find that street name in the city that belongs to that zip code, but the exact same command will work once I am within the city limits of that city. This also needs to improve.
Is there a specific way or format of entering street addresses and limiting it to the closest cities that contain streets with that name (or similar sounding street names) so that it does't try to route to a similar street name far away when there is also the same street name 5 or 10 miles from my current location?

It would be nice if I could find something that

allow me create utf-8 Vietnamese characters directly
from my keyboard
Go to system preferences/international/input menu. Check the box for Vietnamese, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder." Plus the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then select the Vietnamese item in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder. Open TextEdit or other Unicode app (not AppleWorks or WordX) and type.
Please let me know if some part of this does not work for you.
PS To see which key does what, select Keyboard Viewer in the "flag" menu.
PSS In case you are talking about inputting Vietnamese into web forums, you will need to use FireFox instead of Safari. Some such forums are (stupidly) run in Latin-1 instead of UTF-8, which means all input has to be in the form of html escape codes (numerical character references). FireFox does this but Safari does not.

My n8 ovi maps navigation - is Completley unreliab...

I was trying my new n8 ovi maps , navigating in Lithuania, before going on our family annual caravan summer trip.
This proved to be a catastrophe. The software is copleteley unreliable, and in fact , the worst navigation software I ever tried. Here are some of the issues:
1. Navigation uses unpaved roads as default choice , even if I choose "no" on preferences.
2. routs are often proven completely false, often misleading the user to dead ends or no road at all. This happens almost every time when traveling outside of the capital - Vilnius.
3. Browsing the map on chosen rout during navigation is quite difficult and not useful.
4. Addresses search is not practical , since it usually ask for exact address, and spelling mistakes are not recognized otherwise there are no results. This is very important when traveling abroad.
I was very disappointed , because the main reason I bought N8 , was of the promises for free navigation . We are planning to go on a trip within 2 weeks , and I don't know what to do.
is there any other good compatible navigation program ?
can you solve these problems?
are these problems confined to Lithuania only (hard to believe)?

How do i remove the apple maps app?

Can this app be removed.
With all the issues that Apple has acknowledged about the Map app,
Is there a way to remove the app from my 4s phone?

Yes get google maps BUT don't give up on Apple Maps either. Though Google has a massive points of interest data base, Apple maps can find and navigate to a lot of places too. I am finding I like apple maps and use it to navigate while driving all the time. It does pick routes around my local traffic jams as my normal route home is uder massive construction but only 50% of the time.
My Suggestion use a little of both. And if you want a real navigation app, try Motion-x GPS Drive. It has a night mode, great search (bing maps), lane assist, a speed limit and speddometer gauge, its a real navigation app for real driving. It's only 10/year.
Anyhow, don't totally give up on Apple. It's native baked in abilities will quickly grow (I used Motion-x for two years and the features have massivley grown and I enjoyed it).
Certainly no need to ever own a seperate GPS unit ever again.
Ah-men,

HT202570 iPhone map navigation are not accurate compared to the actual location

The navigation arrow is always late compared to the actual location. its late around 3 to 4 seconds and I have tried on the two different iPhones that with the same result I reset location settings I reset the phone but no luck.
does anybody have the same problem and any ideas how to resolve them?

The co-ordinates you posted are not very accurate (hopefully you edited them), there probably should be more digits after the decimal point for greater accuracy.
It seems like Apple Maps can search for Lat/Long but is unable to show it for a dropped pin. I'd suggest you get another app from the store…
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/find-my-latitude-longitude/id668745605
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/location+/id482094847
There are many so search around
It's also worth noting the location services doesn't just use GPS it also uses wifi & cellular towers to get a rough location in situations where GPS is not available (like indoors). GPS also takes a while to get a true lock, it can be upto 12.5 minutes because go how the satellites work. You will need to maintain a clear view of the sky for long enough to get accurate values.
Assisted GPS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
P.S. Google maps in a desktop browser will show lat & long values, just be aware that there are different co-ordinate systems too - if things don't work make sure you are using the correct one

Apple Maps App problem - maps problem - why do they go blank

On OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3
I have a blank map, and this problem occurred on the last version of OS as well.
After I restarted my computer, the app started working but went blank again.
When the map is blank, I can't report the problem. It says no internet but my other apps that require an internet connection are still working. I've attached a picture of what pops up below. Please let me know what needs to be done to fix this issue.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time ▹ Time Zone
Check the box marked
          Set time zone automatically using current location
if it's not already checked. If the box is checked, uncheck it and then check it again. Test.
If the correct location and time zone aren't shown in the preference pane, then either Wi-Fi is turned off, or you're not within range of a network in the Location Services database. Under those conditions, the computer can't determine your location.
Credit for this idea to ASC member Easyas314.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps
Right-click or control-click the line and select
         Services ▹ Reveal in Finder
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.Maps" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the folder you moved. The list of recent places displayed in Maps will be lost.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Apple maps and google maps not working on 3G/E (Cellular Network)

I am getting around 8mbps speeds on my (T-Mobile) 3G network on my iPhone 5 (A1429)
Browsing internet on safari is very fast as well.
Songs are streaming well on spotify.
But the APPLE MAPS & GOOGLE MAPS never load directions (cannot reach server )
they work perfectly fine when on Wi-Fi
I tried all the tweaks in the discussion "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1598582?start=30&tstart=0" NO LUCK
Anyone has the same issue or know the fix ?

Yes, ofcourse its supported. I am in United States
Yes, My APN settings are corretly entered. I have no problem with other applications.
Infact the WAZE social navigation app is working perfect on 3G

Apple maps not working on iMac

apple maps not working on iMac the little thing just keeps turning

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Maps.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
