Google Map's Bug

I think I've found a bug probably in the built-in Google Map GPS.
Today suddenly I found out that after I dropped a pin on any map location, the pin wouldn't recognise any of the addresses, no information shown. When I tapped on the small arrow button, it wouldn't show the "direction from here" and "direction to here" too, a feature which I use often.
I have tried alot of ways to get it back, but was in vain. Lastly, I got back home and synced the iPhone with my PC, it fixed!

Thee are several different discussion on the Maps app crashing unpon search, Here is one that started in May:

Google Maps GUI Bug?

I notice that the highway sign icons on Google Maps float below the traffic data indicator lines that change the roads to red when heavy traffic is present. In fact, most of the time, the highway numbers and other road markers float below the road, making it impossible to see the road sign except during screen redraw. Can this be fast-tracked and corrected? I just verified that all highway and freeway signs float below the roads, making them impossible to read. This caused me to make a few wrong turns in San José last weekend, when I couldn't make out the highway signs on the screen because they were covered by the roads which ride on top.

Apple do not read this forum so you will need to feedback to them via this page:

StageWebView and Google Map V3 control bug

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a weird bug using StageWebView on Adobe Air 3.2 (but same for 3.1 et 3.3) and Android Mobile.
If I am LoadingURL from maps.google.com everything is fine and I have the mobile control shown on the map.
But for my project, I need to host my own html page containing a basic implementation of Google Map : http://ocelyn.com/chinon/map2.html and to load it with StageWebView.
If I do so on Android, I'll have 2 problems :
The first one is that the UI Control of Google Map is not display properly. It's is hidden behind the map. By that I mean that the layer with the map is over the layer with the control.
So if I move my map or if I dezoom a lot, I'll have the grey screen "all around my map picture" and I can see my control, but when the map picture cover again the control or copyright they disappear. (I don't know if I'm pretty clear?)
One more thing is that even if the map is over the UI,I'm still able to click on the control.
Hope someone could have an idea on how to fix this bug.
Thank you,
Jocelyn

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.

Google map inside the spry collapsible panel

So this time I've bumped into interesting 'bug'. I've placed the google map inside the spry collapsible panel. Panel is set to the closed mode on load of page. When I open the tab, map appears, but address marker is hidden behind the top left corner. If I place the same map outside the collapsiple panel it renders all well.
So my question is whether there is any way around this issue. When I know where the marker is hidden I can simply move the map and see it, but customer who's not aware of the problem will see only blank map with not marked address which is not acceptable.
cheers,
Simon

Sure mate. Here you go:
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel">
              <div class="CollapsiblePanelTab" tabindex="0">SHOW MAP</div>
              <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
              <cfmap width="242" height="200" zoomlevel="12" name="mainMap" markercolor="333444" showscale="false"
typecontrol="none" showcentermarker="true" centeraddress="#get_event.event_address1#, #get_event.event_address2#, #get_event.event_city#,#get_event.event_county#, #get_event.event_postcode#, #get_event.event_country# "
></cfmap>
              </div>
            </div>
And this bit goes at the bottom of the code :
<script type="text/javascript">
var CollapsiblePanel1 = new Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1", {contentIsOpen:false});
</script>
And that would be the preview that I get once the panel is open:
And that is the preview of how it should look:
As you can see the map marker sticks to the top left corner. I was wondering whether there is any way to re-focus it once the panel is open.
cheers,
Simon

In FX 8 (WinXP and Linux) I'm not able to change a route of the Google Maps routeplanner via drag&drop, the markers of start and destination don't appear and therefore cannot be moved, either.

Usually (IE, Firefox 7 and below) if you go along the blue line of a route planned by Google Maps, a small circle appears which can be dragged and dropped to other roads so that the routeplanner changes the route. This is impossible with Fx 8, the circle doesn't appear and when trying to drag&drop I only move the map. The same applies to the markers which mark the start and destination of the route, they are not visible and cannot be moved. Disabling Adblock and Firegestures didn't solve the problem.
When the page is loading for a moment you can see the symbol for an image which is not yet loaded both where the markers should be and if you go along the line with the mouse. As soon as the page is completely loaded you don't see this anymore.

There is opened a bug in Bugzilla:

Google maps turn by turn directions no longer interrupts iTunes music player in iOS7

I often use Google Maps app when I travel while simultaneously listening to music. I have my iPhone connected to my car stereo via the Lightning port. In iOS6, when Google would give turn by turn directions the music volume would duck and the voice guided navigation would play through the car stereo. After updating to iOS7, this feature no longer works. With both iTunes and Google Maps open, the music volume is always dimmed and voice guided navigation is always off.
I do not notice this issue with Apple's Maps app. So far it appears to work properly and I am using this as a work around. However there are several reasons I favor Google Maps as a superior solution for the moment. For example, if I ask for directions to a specific location such as a local business Google is able to provide this information 90% of the time. By comparison, the same query with Siri usually results in having to search the web for an address first and then having to go back and ask for directions to that specific street address. It is a minor inconvenience, but it is enough of a hassle that I tend to stick with the better content of Google Maps for now.
Perhaps this bug is iOS7 related or perhaps the issue is with the Google Maps app. Either way, I am reporting because I'd love to see it fixed. I have noticed several bugs (this being one of many that I am reporting) since upgrading to iOS7 which has been very disappointing. I am a huge Apple advocate and this has not been the experience of "It just works" that I have come to expect from my Apple products. It is because I care so much about the Apple ecosystem that has made my work and play so much more enjoyable that I will take the time to report these in hopes that Apple will take notice and that subsequent updates will address these issues.

I never did. Partly I believe it's the interaction with my car's bluetooth connection and instructions it sends the phone when they connect. It seems like if I actively QUIT all applications that could play audio (SiriusXM, Podcasts, Music), then I can get the directions without any music. (That said, the SiriusXM app doesn't always play nice. If any of these are open, not even playing, then they start up when I select bluetooth audio on my car stereo. But I still can't tell the audio to stop without it muting either Google Maps or Apple's Maps. They both behave the same way.

Google Maps Widget doesn't work after upgrade to Safari 4.0

After a lengthy bit of trouble shooting with an iWeb specialist yesterday, we reached a conclusion that somehow installing the release version of Safari 4.0 (released Monday, 6/8) causes the GoogleMaps widget to not function or display properly. Using backup harddrives of recent systems, the widget worked properly in OS X 10.5.7 running iWeb 3.0.1 with both Safari 3.2 and the BETA VERSION of Safari 4. On that same system, once I download and installed the release of Safari 4., the maps widget would not work or display properly.
To describe what doesn't work: None of the options (search field, address bubble, or zoom controls) appear regardless of what the user selects in the HUD when creating or editing the content. I am unable to pan and/or scroll around the map within its bounding box at all. The only thing I am able to do is edit the address field in the HUD and end up with a map with that location centered in the window.
The AppleCare specialist didn't have much response in that I think this is a brand new and VERY obscure bug.
I am curious to know if anyone else has exprienced this condition.

It may be obscure in iWeb but the Safari 4 update has messed up the Google maps in iPhoto big time. Be sure to report it as they are all related to the Safari 4 upgrade and probably only be solved by a Safari fix.

Integrating Google Maps in Oracle Apex and 404 Not found error page

Currently using APEX version 3.2.0.00.27 installed in OracleXE version 10.2.0.1.0. Have been attempting to recreate some examples of Google Maps within APEX. Found a nice set of examples here that build up to what I'm looking to ultimately do by incorporating google maps into APEX:
http://blog.whitehorses.nl/2009/10/04/integrating-google-maps-in-oracle-apex/
Unfortunatly, I'm getting the "404 Not Found, Not found, The requested URL /apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server" page when I try to recreate the "Map with Search" example. I'd like to see if this really works using the html input and button tags in the body/region source versus creating APEX items to pass the address values to the javascript in the html header of the apex page. I'm thinking it's just an html thing within APEX that you have to do it a certain way, but I haven't managed to hit that magic combination. have gone to the google maps api v2 and looked at the html they use (it's what these examples with apex are based on) and tried that just to see. Same 404 result.
I've seen suggestions at this forum and elsewhere that the 404 error is due to a bug. have been to metalink, and really haven't seen anything that spells out what the bug is and how to patch it or work around it. May be I just haven't found the right note/doc yet. have seen suggestions to change something associated with the Anonymous account that APEX uses. Have turned on authentication in the application to use an APEX user account with a logon page to the application. Still get the 404. Although, I have not adjusted anything elsewhere, like a DADS config file, because the apex/xe configuration is using the plsql gateway. Not sure of any procedure for changing settings on anonymous account when using plsql gateway.
Open to suggestions. APEX 3.2 is customer version, so going to 4 may not be an option yet. XE, on the other hand, can certainly be swapped for an 11g version standard or enterprise edition if need be. I don't think this is a db version problem though. I think it's more on the APEX side of things.
Anyway, any help or suggestions are appreciated.
thanks

GPS info in MobileMe Gallery pictures. Google Map?

I took pictures on my iPhone, downloaded them into iPhoto, and made sure the GPS info was in the files. I created a MobileMe gallery, uploaded it, and checked to discover that when you click on the "i" icon in the MobileMe gallery from a web browser the GPS info doesn't show. I want to send my MobileMe Gallery link to somebody and have them see on something like a Google Map where they were taken. Is this not possible?

Same for me: iPhoto prefs are ok (prefs - web - include location info), but still no data in Mobileme Gallery. Is this a bug, will this be updated soon? Some people succeed to get some pictures done, I don't get any!! (http://gallery.me.com/altosaxo#100631)

How does one get the Satellite to work in Google Maps ?

How does one get the Satellite to work in google maps ?

I am experiencing exactly the same issue - iMac, 10.6.8. Thanks for reporting it - I thought I was going nuts. What happens from here? Does Apple watch these postings? Do we just hope that they find the bug themselves? Is there a vehicle for reporting bugs directly to Apple?
Thanks in advance.

Iweb 08 and Google Maps

Hi Guys
I recently purchased ilife 08, mainly to get the functionality of being able to embed a Google Map into my website. This works fine on my Macbook, but when I try and upload it to my website (not a .Mac address), whilst the page displays with a big "hole" where the Google map should be, the Google map itself does not populate the page. Any ideas if this is a known "bug"?
Also, my Welcome page worked fine with iweb 06, but in iweb 08, the links to the other pages of my site at the top of the page are not visible at all. I'm currently stuck with my iweb 06 built site and unable to take advatage of the updated 08.....
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

When you publish, iWeb '08 generates three items that were not present in iWeb '06.
They are...
feed.xml
Media
Scripts
Make sure you have uploaded them to your server.
Are you talking about the navigation menu not showing in iWeb or on the published site?
If it's not present in iWeb make sure that the "display navigation menu" box is checked in the "page" inspector.
If it's not on the published site make sure you have uploaded the file I mentioned above.
