Customized Google Maps in iPhone

Hi there,
In the Google Maps website, I can change my highway preference for specific sections of my route.
Let me give you an example:
I am going from Providence, RI to Secaucus, NJ and I do not want to use the George Washington Bridge on 95 South. I actually want to use the Tappan Zee Bridge on route 287 West (NY Exit 21), Route 3 East, and Route 17 South. In Google Maps I calculate the original route and move the route line with the mouse to my preferred path in the specific section of the trip and then Google Maps recalculates the driving maneuvers.
It does not seem like I can use this feature in the iPhone. Looking forward for your reply.
Cheers,
David

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your reply. I am very familiar with the route to NJ, but otherwise, I freak out when I have to go on an unfamiliar highway. It took me three trips to NJ to learn that taking the George Washington Bridge was the worst idea. I hope to have other scenic drives (Tapanzee Bridge is awesome), somewhere in the US in the future.

Converting custom Google map to PDF

Is it possible to take a customized Google map (showing points of interest we've created) and turn it into a pdf that would be zoomable, and in which each of those points would be clickable (or via mouseover) to show information about those points? If the answer is yes, is their functionality that would allow this to be viewed on a mobile device? Thanks! If there isn't an Adobe solution that would accomplish this, do you know of some other solution? Here's an example of the type of map I want to be able to convert to PDF and have each icon identifiable in some manner:

I have a feeling Google would make this as difficult as they can.
If I'd been asked to do this, I'd be worrying very much about Google's licensing of map data and whether making an "offline copy" was breaking the license. http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html. How is your copyright law?
Google do offer a maps API which can be used to deliver maps on mobile devices. That might be the safer option.

Custom Google Map Widget Control for Guide Builder

Hi,
I would like to build a custom control for Guide Builder. This custom control will basically wraps around the Google Map control (provided by Google api for Flex/as3). This custom map control can then be used as part of Guide Builder when building the guides.
I am not sure how to go about doing this, or if this is at all possible. I just want to get an idea before I attempt to do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nelson

I'm still looking for help on this one, anybody? Thanks.

Google map in iPhone 5 NOT working

I've tried repeatedly and took my new iPhone 5 to ask Apple Store's Genius but I am getting no where. When I launch the new Google Map icon on my iPhone 5, it by default shows the mobile version and I clicked the "Directions" icon and input two addresses. I then click the arrow button which is supposed to start searching the distance between the two addresses and also directions of how to get from A to B. But no matter how many times I press the arrow button, nothing moves - same screen.
I then scrolled to the bottom and click "Classic", again nothing happens - same screen. I have to do it 10 to 20 times and by chance, I probably can access the Classic view once.
I then go to the iPhone internet browser and enter the google map address http://maps.google.com/#bmb=1 and again I was directed back to the mobile version and then I scrolled down and selected Classic and it was merry go round and I was going no where! The problem certainly does not lie in the Google webpage because when I access the same URL on a PC, I can search directions from A to B within less than a second. Everything is super smooth. I believe Apple has done something in their iPhone browser to make it difficult if not impossible to access Google maps in order to "force" users to use the Apple Map App.
Can anyone help?

Google Maps on Iphone Question

Hey everyone, got a question here. I heard that Google Maps can send traffic reports, as in when I start a route it could tell me which roads are jammed and offer alternative routes. Is this true? If so how do I do it and is it available to do on a UK Iphone?

chazdaspaz,
If it is always grey, then the area you are looking at doesn't have traffic data available from Google Maps.
For example of how it looks, try searching for San Francisco, CA, and turning it on.
Even for areas that have traffic data available it will be primarily for the major thoroughfares.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

When I touch safari I get google maps on iPhone 5

On my iPhone 5 when I touch the safari icon I get google maps, I can not get to the Internet. Any thoughts?
Last night I backed up to icloud.

I have had this issue off and on over the life of the phone not sure what to think. I see this mostly when using safari but have experience it during use of maps. The phone will exit Safari and return to home screen same with google maps will exit and return to home screen. Has any one out there had simular issues and if so what have you done.
This sounds like what was happening to me and another poster. See: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5575757#5575757
Anyway, the problem seems to be linked to Safari's Bookmark file on the computer. Since I stopped syncing the iPhone with Safari on my computer, I haven't had this problem. One of these days, I'm going to delete the bookmark file on my computer and just enter a few URLs that I want on the iPhone. I'll then use Firefox or Camino on the computer and Safari on the iPhone.

Google Maps or iPhone 3G Maps issue?, can't find my address

When I go to Google Maps on a Pc via the internet, it locates my home address without any issue (supplying street, city, state, and zip).
When I do this on my new iPhone 3G in Maps, it comes up saying it couldn't find anything ... So whose issue is this, iPhone's implementation of Google Maps, or Google Maps not giving iPhone/Apple the latest data ? (which brings up a separate question about how complete Maps data is ... hmmm).
Any ideas how I should best report this ?

I don't know how to report this but I experienced the same thing this morning. I plugged in an address to maps.google.com and it found it correctly however in Maps on my 3G it shows it incorrectly. I double checked the address on my iPhone to that searched on the internet and they were the same. I even tried alternate spellings (i.e. Dr., Dr, and Drive) with no luck.
Whats the deal with this?

Can I use Google Maps in iPhone application and charge for it?

I'm looking to create a location-based application for the iphone that uses a map to display locations. I'd like to use a UIWebView to display Google Maps using their javascript API which shows a map hosted on my web site.
When my app is finished, can I charge for it in the App Store, or will this be a violation of the Google Maps API Terms of Use?
Are there any other non-free iPhone apps that embed Google Maps?
Thanks, Scott

My interpretation of the following:
Google Maps API Terms of Service wrote:
The API may be used only for services that are generally accessible to consumers without charge. Accordingly, You may not use the API for any service that requires a subscription or other restricted access, or for which a fee is charged.
... is that there's no way you can charge for an app that uses the API.

Customized Google Map

To show a Google Map on an swf movie I use this code:
var map:Map = new Map();
map.key = "key";
map.sensor = "false";
map.setSize(new Point(350, 320));
map.x = 380;
map.y = 175;
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
     map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
     map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());
     map.setCenter(new LatLng(41.893932,12.488177), 15, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
     var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(41.893932,12.488177));
     map.addOverlay(m);
Now I want that passing the mouse pointer on the marker a baloon with some informations pops up.
How can I do that? I know I have to add and event listener like
map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, showBaloon);
but I don't know what to write inside the function.

I've tried this code
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/img.jpg");
    var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
        function(event:Event):void {
            var options:InfoWindowOptions = new
                InfoWindowOptions({
                    customContent: imageLoader,
                    pointOffset: new Point(0,-30),
                    drawDefaultFrame:true
            map.openInfoWindow(e.latLng,options);
    imageLoader.load(request);
It makes appear the image, but I don't know how to add elements to "customContent" in addition to the image, actually I don't either know if it is possible.

How to open a google map link in google maps app?

Hello,
I would like to post a link to a custom google map on my blog that could be open on Iphone with the google maps app. Someone would have an idea?
There maybe a solution with google map url scheme ("comgooglemaps:") but I don't see how to implement it
Thanks in advance!
The map:
https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=218162555454264993409.0004ddc647279c6f0bde0& msa=0&ll=46.149394,2.329102&spn=16.974756,19.02832

I think this is not possible as a link on the iPhone will default to the Apple Maps app and there is no way to change this.

After Upgrade to IOS 6.1, find my iPhone's map cannot see the street or city, especially in China, can we change back to google map in this app?

After Upgrade to IOS 6.1 also with "find my iPhone" app, the map when locate my iphone cannot see the street or city, especially in China, can we change back to google map in this app?
If the map cannot show details, how can we find my iphone? And it seem Apple just have an good idea for customer only but it is not function, why need to use Apple map in "Find my Iphone" if we all know it is not a good map!
So stupid Apple!!!!!

It won't help find your iPhone, however.

Viewing modified google maps routes on iPhone

I just discovered today that you can't see a map route you modified on the web via google maps using the Maps app on the iphone! What a bummer!
I was hoping to use this to make bike routes for myself using google maps (you know how you can get directions on google maps on a computer, then you can drag parts of the route to different streets to modify the route), and then e-mail the route link to my iphone so I'd have the route via maps app.
Instead, when I modify the route using google maps on a computer and send it via e-mail, the e-mail shows up in my iphone, I click the link, am taken to the Maps app, which re-calculates the route for driving. But the whole point is to view my custom route for biking! And there's no way to modify the route in Maps app (is there?).
What's more, when I click the link to the google map in mail, it automatically takes me to the maps app. Is there any way I can make it take me to safari so I can see the map I modified? Since there's no copy/paste, seems I'd just have to memorize the lengthy url, which is ridiculous.
Does anyone know of a good way to do this?

I'm having the exact same issue. When I create a custom route on Google Maps (www.google.com/maps), point-to-point, and then force it to take me on back roads via the drag option it won't work, it won't even plot the course.
Example:
Home to point 1, point 1 to point 2, point 2 to point 3 and point 3 to home.
It gives me an error saying, "End location not found"
Really annoying! Fix it Apple.
