Can you choose a different route in maps?

I searched for directions in the maps app and it shows me a route that is way out of the way and is 16 hours compared to mapquest telling me 12 hours and a more direct route.
I know that online at google maps you can choose from several route options, can we do this on the iPhone app?
Thanks for anybody's help!

oh wow, that's pretty disappointing. I'm always using Google maps at work to find places and then dragging the route around different streets to try to find the shortest distance or what *I think* will be the fastest route. That's a pretty major oversight to not let you simply drag the route around like you can on the real version.

    Can I choose a different iCloud email address

    Not from within iCloud. The iCloud email service uses iCloud email addresses.
    You can setup any email address on your devices separately to iCloud though.

  • Nokia 808 GPS... can you enter a walking route, l...

    Using the GPS on a Nokia 808 PureView....  Can you enter a walking route?
    In Google map you can enter a .kmz file. It will show up as a line on their maps.
    Is there a Nokia GPS equivalent, using the native GPS?
    I am hoping to walk the “Camino de Santiago” an 800Km walk across northern Spain.
    I will not be walking on the roads.
    Just asking the Nokia GPS to find a walking route may not pick the correct trails.

    But... the map require a WiFi connection.
    ViewRanger just like Nokia Maps in that if maps tiles downloaded then application can be used "Offline", provided you don't use "Buddy Beacon" facility.
    Whilst Open Cycle Map is compatible you do need a network connection to utilise as downloaded and cached as you go along with more information here:http://support.viewranger.com/wikihelp/index.php/S​ymbiannline_maps

    Hello galespace, 
    Do you have any 'add-block' extension installed on your browser? Have you tried on a different browser? 
    Or you can check your URL bar when trying to change to see if a message pops up. Like 'non safe scripts detected' or something, that you can click and say 'allow from this source/website'
    Hope it helps

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

  • How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
    If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
    But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

  • Can you choose email address for autofill?

    Hi all,

    Can you choose which email address you would like to autofill when completing a form (that is when you have more than one email address in your address card)?
    Thank you.

    When you make a Apple ID how can you choose none for credit card type

    You need to follow the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - otherwise you won't get the 'none' option and you will need to enter credit card details before you will be able to use the account in the store

  • Can you create an index on a Map?

    I have a few questions that I can't seem to figure out nor find a viable example for. Can you create an index for a Map contained within a nested object, and if so, how would you do this? I currently have a Filter the inspects this criteria in the cache but am unable to figure out to create a usabe index for the custom filter. I'm using Coherence 3.5.2 - any help would be most appreciated. I'm not sure if/what I need to do with the SimpleMapIndex....
    Here's the basic object map below. My filter is retrieving all of the CustomerGroup objects that have a Customer in it's collection that contains the passed in Integer value in the Customer's Map. So can you create an Index on a Map (and a nested one at that) and how do you that? The index would need to be on the nested customerValues hashmap.
    class CustomerGroup
        Set<Customer> customers ;
    class Customer
        Map<Integer, CustumerValue> customerValues;
    }

    If you write a custom ValueExtractor, which you need to create an index, then you will not need a custom Filter.
    Depending on how efficient you need to be you custom extractor can use POF and not have to deserialize the entries to create the index, or it can deserialize the class, which will make the code more straight forward.
    For example, without using POF
    public class MapKeyExtractor extends EntryExtractor implements PortableObject {
        public MapKeyExtractor() {
        @Override
        public Object extractFromEntry(Map.Entry entry) {
            Set<Integer> keys = new HashSet<Integer>();
            CustomerGroup group = (CustomerGroup) entry.getValue();
            Set<Customer> customers = group.getCustomers();
            for (Customer customer : customers) {
                keys.addAll(customer.getCustomerValues().keySet());
            return keys;
        @Override
        public boolean equals(Object obj) {
            return (obj instanceof MapKeyExtractor);
        @Override
        public int hashCode() {
            return MapKeyExtractor.class.hashCode();
        @Override
        public void readExternal(PofReader in) throws IOException {
            super.readExternal(in);
        @Override
        public void writeExternal(PofWriter out) throws IOException {
            super.writeExternal(out);
    }The extractor above will return a collection of all of the Integer values in the keys of all the customerValues of all the customers in a CustomerGroup (I have guessed you might have accessor methods on the classes you posted).
    You can then use a ContainsFilter for your query. For example to get all the values from the cache where the customerValues map contains a 19 in the key...
    Set results = cache.entrySet(new ContainsFilter(new MapKeyExtractor(), 19));You could write a version of the MapKeyExtractor that uses POF and would not deserialize the values but this would be more complicated code as it would need to extract the Map from the POF stream of the value and walk down the keys and values extracting the keys. It is doable but not worth it unless you are really worried about performance of index updates.
    Discalimer I have written the code above from the top of my head so have not compiled it or tested it but it should be OK.

  • Can you merge 2 different apple ID's

    can you merge 2 different apple ID's?

    Similar question, with a difference. I have set the Mac (BP, 10.8.2) with Apple ID #1, and the iPhone (4S, iOS6) with #2. Stupid of me, of course - but in the meantime I have content in both iClouds, and if I cancel either one, I lose some content. Any way out?

    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • Can you sync two different apple calendars? My husband and I want to better manage our family.

    My husband and I wish to sync our apple calendars.  Is it possible to do so? We have 2 separate apple Id's.  Tried google but seems to sync from google to Iphone calendar but not the other way.  I much prefer apples calendar because of the functions available but my husband and I need to see one another's schedules.  Any help out there ? Can you sync two different users calendars via the calendar that comes with Apple products?

    You each need an iCloud account and to sync your iCal calendars with iCloud. Then you can each share a calendar or calendars privately, so only available to the other, who would be able to edit it, or not, depending on your settings. Please see this page:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694
    and the subsquent pages.
