How does the Maps app work?

I'm considering buying the software upgrade, but I don't understand how the maps application can possibly work. It requires wi-fi, so how will it work when you're trying to get somewhere and you're driving? Certainly there's no wi-fi in the car!
Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks!

You could just drive into a sub-division and hope somebody has an unprotected wireless network when you are lost...
The map app was originally made for the iPhone which with the unlimited data plan through At&T it can update the map and search on the fly as long as you are in a service area. Unfortunately for the ipod the map app is not as powerful as the iPhone because you can't get a map anywhere, it is the same app, but you get the idea.

  • How well does the TomTom app work?

    Let's hear it, how well does the TomTom app work compared to a dedicated GPS device? Are you using TomTom's special cat kit? Is there a way to load TomTom binary files (POIs) onto the iphone?

    I have used a Garmin Nuvi760 for about 2 years and have been very pleased. When TomTom had a sale for $50 and now seems to be $60, I bought it. I also bought a kensington car mount. (http://us.kensington.com/html/17546.html). I like it. with my 3GS, there is no need for the amplified TomTom car kit. The speech quality could be better but it's loud enough. I do like the on screen presentations a bit more than my Garmin. I'm still getting used to the interface. It's a real good thing that I can use my contacts file to set destinations. My next step is to go on an 800 mile trip this month and compare the two systems side by side. So far, TomTom has not always made the best route choice and once sent me to the right address in an adjoining city. (This is southern Cal) Not good, but these are map issues which will always be evolving. Is it worth it? Yes. At $100, maybe. The good thing is that my phone is always with me and so is my GPS. I does put a drain on the battery, so it should be on charging while using in a car.

  • Transfer Rules: How does the mapping work?

    Transfer Rules: How does the mapping work?
    Is there a document out there that explains the following or can someone help clarify it for me. I have some confusion on what is really going on.
    When I create an InfoSource (IS_Test)  as a “Flexible update…”  and then “Assign DataSource”  (DS_Test) and I respond Yes, to the message “DataSource assignment DS_Test to InfoSource IS_Test Save”
    a) <b>Under “Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules”</b> in the InfoSource
    1)  the “Transfer Rules” tab, what are the fields found in the right column (Assigned InfObjct-field)? And where do the fields you enter in the left column (<b>Communication Str/</b>Transfer rules) eventually go?
    2)  the “DataSource /Trans. Structure” tab, can I always assume that all the fields in the right column (DataSource) came from DS_Test? The left column (Transfer Structure), in my test was exactly the same as on the right. Where do these fields eventually go?
    b) Under “<b>Communication_Struct.”,</b> in the InfoSource
    3. the right column (ISource Fileds) where from those InfoObjects. if I am now creating my InfoSource. Where did they come from?
    4. The left column is “<b>Communication Structure</b>”, which at this point has no InfoObjects, if I move a couple of InfoObjects from the right to the left, where do these Objects in the left eventually go?
    5. what is the relationship between the “Communication Structure” in 4 and 1? Or any relationship between a) and b) as a whole?
    Thanks.

    Hi Caud,
    As Ashish pointed out, communication structure contains fields (infoobjects) that suppose to go to data targets. Which IO in CS to which IO in the data target will go (and what transformation of data may occur) is determined in URs of the data target.
    The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into BW:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/3f/0e503c3c0d563de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    In “Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules” in the IS, DataSource /Trans. Structure” tab, right part shows fields in the Datasource, the left part – fields in the transfer structure. There is also a transfer structure in R/3 for a given DS. Transfer structure in BW is created identical to the TS in R/3 during TRs activation.
    During data load data are transferred 1:1 from TS in R/3 to TS in BW.
    TS in BW corresponds to the PSA table structure.
    How data from PSA are transferred to the CS is determined in TRs.   
    The 3rd column (“Field”) (“Transfer Rules” tab, right part (Assigned InfObjct-field)), contains field names of the DS (TS); and the 1st column shows IO in the CS to which the DS field will go. So, it’s a mapping DS filed -> CS field.
    The left part (“Communication str./Transfer rules”) is always identical to the CS content. But the 4th column (“Tp”) shows possible data transformation during transfer from PSA to CS. If this column contains a yellow triangle then there is no transformation (Value of DS field will go to value of CS field). If there is a red cross, it means that no data for this CS field is supplied from a DS. You can click on this yellow triangle and choose: 1). Another field from a DS; 2). Constant; 3). ABAP routine; 4). Formula. So, here you can determine the data transformation. Moreover, there is a possibility to create a start routine (blank sheet icon at the top).
    And finally, here are the answers on your questions:
    Q:
    a)     Under “Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules” in the InfoSource
    1) the “Transfer Rules” tab, what are the fields found in the right column (Assigned InfObjct-field)? And where do the fields you enter in the left column (Communication Str/Transfer rules) eventually go?
    A: Right part shows a mapping between DS and CS fields. Left part shows CS fields and data transformation (TRs) during data transfer from TS (PSA) to the CS. These are fields in the CS that will go to data target and which are fed from a TS (DS).
    Q: 2) the “DataSource /Trans. Structure” tab, can I always assume that all the fields in the right column (DataSource) came from DS_Test?
    A: Yes, you are right.
    Q: The left column (Transfer Structure), in my test was exactly the same as on the right. Where do these fields eventually go?
    A: As I described, left and right parts are identical. These fields will go to CS.
    Q: b) Under “Communication_Struct.”, in the InfoSource
    3. the right column (ISource Fileds) where from those InfoObjects. if I am now creating my InfoSource. Where did they come from?
    A: these are fields from an IS template, the name of this template you can see above this right part.  Actually, during IS (CS) creation you can choose different templates and choose fields from them transferring them into the left part.
    Q: 4. The left column is “Communication Structure”, which at this point has no InfoObjects, if I move a couple of InfoObjects from the right to the left, where do these Objects in the left eventually go?
    A: these are fields of CS (left part) and as I said before they will go to data target.
    Q: 5. what is the relationship between the “Communication Structure” in 4 and 1? Or any relationship between a) and b) as a whole?
    A: CS in 4 just shows IOs that will be transferred to data target. CS in 1 also shows how values for CS IOs are to be fed and transformed.

  • How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
    Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.

  • HT204003 does the passbook app work on the iPhone4 because I downloaded the apps for it but I continue to see the original screen for the app and I can't find passbook in my settings.

    does the passbook app work on the iPhone4 because I downloaded the apps for it but I continue to see the original screen for the app and I can't find passbook in my settings.

    Some time in the future (Starbucks Tweeted the other day "by the end of the month") the Starbucks app will be Passbook enabled. When that time comes, you will log into the app with your credentials, select your Starbucks card, and you should be given an opportunity to add that card to Passbook at that time. From there, whenever you walk into a Starbucks the alert will be displayed on the lock screen, just slide your finger across the the alert and show your card to pay.
    Now, I have not seen the new app, of course, so I am just speculating based on how the Walgreens, Fandango and Target apps work. Also, I am not sure yet if this will work in any Starbucks, or just the one that you consider your favorite, or primary location. Again, that is just based on how the other apps seem to work. We'll see.

  • How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

    How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

    That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

  • HT4914 How does the payment method work for iTunes Match?

    How does the payment method work with iTunes Match. For example, if you have a gift card, does it take it out of that. Or is there tax? What if you cancel your subscription in the middle of the year, does it take the money for that year or not? If someone could answer those questions it would be greatly apreciated. And if anyone has their own questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.

  • How does the .accept() method work?

    Hi,
    I have checked the source code of the ServerSocket implementation that comes with the jdk.
    I tought I was going to find some type of loop. However I found nothing like that! so how does the accept method work.
    I mean when we call the .accept() method, the thread in which the socketServer is initialized gets stoped untill a new client connection is recieved! how is this actually managed?
    Regards,
    Sim085

    At a guess, the accept call that Java makes, relies on the OS system call through JNI. accept would then block until a new connection is present if you are using blocking.
