Google Maps-compass backwards-maybe it's the car windshield?

In Google Maps, my compass is completely opposite- the blue arrow during directions shows that I am going backwards. I've rebooted, restored, recalibrated compass (many times), turned off and on compass calibration, and any other solution I've found in these forums. But now, my husband's phone has gone batty as well. I am now thinking it might be the car. Our car has a Solar Control glass windshield that contains a metal oxide. Does anyone else have this problem and have a windshield like this? Here is a list of cars with metal oxide- https://www.sunpass.com/specialWindshields
Any other solutions anyone else has found?

I should have said- it orients correctly in the beginning and after several minutes or at high speeds, it will flip. When walking, it works fine. All cars I have access to have this type of glass. I was hoping to confirm this with someone else with the same situation...?

I chekced this FF 3.6 and there is no problem with this and other versions. FF4 having this problem.
What should I do for this? Please let me know.

What printer models is this intended for? I assume it is aimed at the lower end inkjets, with the suggestion of loading 10-25 sheets of paper.

Google Maps Compass Mode is not working ( Neo V )

I read somewhere in the internet that can be related to a new way how google maps asks the compass info and the old devices (as xperia 2011) don't show the info in the proper vector way.
Can someone add more info?
I hope sony fix this problem.

It's the same here. I just had a look in Google Maps in one of the Xperia neo V's with ICS. The compass is no longer working.
Not sure why or if it will work again with a new update of the app or the phone. I will post again if I find more information.

My Google Map was Changed by iWeb to The MobileMe web page!!!?????

I had a previously published site that included a Google map for directions. After editing a different page in my site and publishing, iWeb changed my google map to Apple's corporate address and the map was replaced by the mobileme web page. I have tried to overrite the page, deleted the page and constructed a new one but I can only get the mobileme webpage. It won';t accept my requested address...Any suggestions or anyone else having this problem?

It's done that to mine as well. That's not the only issue that has arisen since the transition to MobileMe. Based on what I'm reading here in the discussions, it looks like there aren't any solutions and most likely won't be until Apple releases either an iWeb update or does some serious work on the iWeb hosting feature of the MobileMe service. It's frustrating. I'm sure they're aware of the problem and are trying to solve it.

HT1688 the Apple Maps app won't locate an address, the address is a medical center in gainesville, fl 4037 NW 86th Terrace 32606. i had to google map it in order to find the location... please update addresses on your Maps app... how often are the Maps up

How often does Apple Maps update address locations?? there is an address in Gainesville, Fl it is a health facility as it was priority to locate, the address is 4037 NW 86th Terr, 32606. I had to use my google maps app... it then took me to the correct address and located it no problem. please update at least this address so people in need of health care don't go through the same thing I had to endure...

The satellite imagery on Apple Maps shows that whole area as undeveloped woods. Google shows a brand new building with the nearby streets.
Use the "Report a Problem" button on the Maps to inform Apple of the required update.

When is Google Maps going to be available in the Philippine?

google maps is still not available here in the philippines!

Whenever Google decides to release it there. You could try asking them if they have a date. However, most companies don't give out that information ahead of time.

When using the iPad 2 to browse the National Weather Service the embedded Google map can not accurately point to the correct location when tapped. Is there a solution?

For example, using the iPad to check various locations around Davis, ca on the NWS website, the embedded google map is grossly off location.
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Davis&state=CA&site=STO&textFi eld1=38.545&textField2=-121.739&e=1
Then, using the ipad, if I tap on Sacramento, I get a location to the southeast near Angel's Camp.
This problem occurs also on embedded map at summitpost.org. Same problem (Also a Google map). Tap on a point and it displays info of an area off of where I was looking.
Thanks!

Same problem with iPhone. Use to work with an earlier version of Operating System.

The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

Maps: Google Earth, google maps, google maps app...what's the difference?

I can't really figure out the difference between Google Earth, the maps app (google's) that comes on the iPhone, and the google maps that you can use in google (if this makes sense?). There are subtle differences in the way they LOOK...but are there any major differences I'm not seeing? Why would one have Google Earth, Google Maps, and the google apps (map), on their phone? Sorry if this is a really silly question...
Also, does anyone know if it's possible to view a map of a city and have it show ALL of your pins at once? For example, it would show a pin where my 6 friends live, my favorite 4 restaurants that I've labeled, and everyone in my contacts list etc.
Thanks for your patience and help!

Julian,
Thanks for the reply.
What I was getting at was the apparent inability to view multiple contacts as map pins on the iPhone maps app. For example, if I were a connoisseur of Indian restaurants, and had my favourites listed in my contacts, it would be great to see all of my faves on the map so I could choose which is closest.
Since I bought my iPhone in 2009 I have thought that maps on the iPhone are window dressing and could be so much better for social and business use.

I have an I phone 4. When I bought it the google maps app came pre installed. I am in the process of adding thousands of customers into my stock contacts app. Sometimes I want to drop a pin in an exact location on the property. I drop it, assign it to the contact, leave the app, and then come back into the contacts app and click on the address. It then takes me into google maps where I constantly discover that the pin has moved. It often moves off the property of the addresss or building I dropped a pin on. I am trying to solve this. I want that pin to stay in the exact location that I dropped it. Can somebody please help?

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

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.

I have a problem when using Google Maps, at some point my computer blanks the window and says there's a problem with display drivers, and it has recovered,but it doesn't. Problem doesn't happen with Int Explorrer, so I do not believe it is the computer

When using google maps through Firefox, after asking for a place which is not the general North America section which routinely comes up, the firefox screen goes white, with a narrow banner at the top. A message appears in the lower right corner which says something about display drivers having had a problem, but now have recovered. However the display doesn't recover and the banner message is that Firefox is not responding. When I go to restart Firefox if I go to the restore point, the page is still frozen out.
I do not believe it is a problem with my computer because it doesn't happen if I use I.E. to go to google maps, then G-maps works normally.
This phenomenon did not happen before the latest upgrade to either Google or Firefox. I have used Fiefox for a number of years and also Google Maps on previous computers and on this one, and not had this before.
This is a relatively young computer (Asus EeSlate 121) less than a year old. I have used Firefox since I bought it and until recently had no problem with Google Maps.

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,
B.
