How to delete destinations in Google Map app

New to Ellipsis7. My Google Map app has destinations in it that I'd like to delete as they were only one time usage. Can't find instructions on how to delete. Help!

Hi sunshineOH!
I hope you're enjoying your tablet! Here's how to delete your history:
• Open the Google Maps app and sign in.
• Touch the side menu > Settings > Maps history.
• Touch the X next to the entry you want to delete, and then touch Delete.
Thanks,

How do I delete the old Google Maps applicaiton

I think I have a problem that many wish they had prior to google releasing an updated Maps application. I updated to iOS6 and got the new Apple Maps app, but still retained the Google Maps app as well. This is one of the kind of apps that can't be deleted, like SMS, Phone, etc.
I can move it around, and generally used to just stuff it away on the last page, but now I want to make an effort to remove it.
Looking at the file system, at the .ipa files, the built in .ipa's are not included. Anyone know where those are stored, so perhaps I could remove that, to see if it would remove it from my phone on next sync?
I did a backup and restore the other day, still no change. I did a backup, completely erased my phone to factory, then did a restore, which also didn't work. And finally, though I really didn't want to, I went ahead and erased my phone with the intention of rebuilding it from scratch, though the darn Maps app was still there, so just backed up a step and did a restore to my last backup point to save the hassle of setting up my phone from ground zero.
I have added two screen shots, one wiht my mouse selecting a normal app so you can see I get the "X" to delete icon on the app, and the other with the maps application selected so that you can see I DO NOT get the "X".
I filtered the left list to just the google ones, but have tried various other combinations such as "maps" to locate it, it is not in the list, just as "phone", "sms", and "mail" are not in the list.
Any help would be appreciated

Older versions of the SMS app I don't even believe we're called "SMS" but "Messages" though I could be wrong on that. There were differences in the SMS app regarding FaceTime. The current app has a button at the top that allows you to jump that conversation into FacrTime. Older versions didn't have that button as FaceTime was not released yet.
Yes, I can delete the new Google Maps App, it is an app I downloaded from the App Store. What I can't delete is the icon labeled Maps, which is also a google app, not a bookmark.
For the large majority of users of iPhones of compatable hardware, when they upgraded to iOS6 the Google maps application that was part of a default iPhone installation was deleted. In it's place was installed Apples debatably botched Maps application.
In my case, that didn't happen. I was left with both applications still intact. At first I didn't even understand why everyone was so upset with Apples Maps implementation. From my perspective, if they didn't like it they could simply use the Google Maps application they had been using all along. Then I started to see people asking where they could download the old Google Maps App and it started to make sense. Their system no longer had the app. They only had one choice, Apple 's Mapping app, while I still maintained both choices.
I'm looking for others who have experienced this and solved it. I've seen similar cases where different apps hang around longer than they should, but never found a solution. I assume over time enough users will report this to Apple and a software update will correct it. I however, would like to correct it now.

How do I get google maps app back after I mistakenly deleted it?

How do I get google maps app that came installed on phone back after I mistakenly deleted it ? It doesn't show on my apps page since it was preloaded on the phone ? Is there a way to restore it without having to do a complete restore?

Nope. Power cycle the phone first (turn it off, then on) to see if it just needs to be rebooted.
If not, it's not really that big of a deal. Connect to iTunes, let it sync, click the "restore" button and let it restore. When it asks if you want to restore your data back onto the phone, say yes, and when it's done, you'll be right where you are now plus the google map application and all your data.
What gets me is... how do you "accidentally" delete an undeletable system application? The only way I know would be to jailbreak the phone, so, if it is jailbroken, be sure you can get it re-jailbroken, ( and unlocked if necessary) as well before it will be usable for the telephone function.

How to permanently delete Google Maps app with its data?

I want to remove my previous logins from the Google Maps app. I tried deleting it and then re-downloading it from the app store but the app shows with the iCloud logo and when I download it to my iPhone, it still shows my previous logins. There must be some way to permanently delete it?

There's no logout button. One can choose "Use Google Maps without a Google account" but not the logout:
https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/2803351?hl=en
But it still remembers my account whatever I choose.
The reason I'm thinking that the logins are stored on the phone is because I just restored my data to a brand new iPhone and Google Maps app did not have any of my login data. It has it now only after I logged in with the wrong account (by mistake.)

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.

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.

How to get coordinates from Google Map

I wonder how to get coordinates from Google Map to JavaFX application when click has occured. Here is an example of code:

You may also have a look at GPS Info Qt, available for free at Ovi Store: http://store.ovi.com/content/165671
GPS Info Qt is a nice Qt app. I have it on my C6-01 and I like it.

How to delete history in OVI maps on 5800 ?

How to delete history in OVI maps on 5800 ?
Maps > Drive > Set Destination > History -------??? How do you delete the entrys that you no longer need ?
I'm obviously missing something very stupid here, but for the life of me I cant find out what

In maps home page, select the gold star favourites, then select either places or routes, select the item you want to delete and scroll down to the option to delete !
Good Luck
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

HT5429 How Can we reverse to google maps. Apple and Tom Tom maps are awful with plenty of mistakes and less details

How can we get back google maps as the default maps application.
Apple maps are just 5 years behind. Really awful and disappointing.

For now, it's easiest just to go to maps.google.com in Safari. It will automatically load the mobil version of thei site. Not the same as the old app, but at least you have access to the basic features.
You can even create an icon to add to your home screen.
I think Apple knows they've got a lot of work to do with Maps!

Battery drain with ios6 apps crashing! google maps app is gone. The Apple version is like asking a blind man for directions! Awful. As consumers we are caught up in the squabbles between Apple and Google, and we pay the price.

Does anyone else have battery life problems with the iOS6 update? Some of my other apps crash constantly, bringing my reading or workflow back to the home screen. The new map App is a disaster! Is there an online petition to have Apple bring back the Google map app? It is like asking a blind man for driections! Addresses, postal codes, locations, area codes and phone numbers in the Vancouver BC area are consistently wrong! AUUUUUGGGHHHHHHH!

As someone who spends a lot of time writing reviews (for vidya gaems ;P) I enjoyed your review. I am also looking at getting a new phone soon (I am saving up to buy out on refresh). I was considering th next iPhone but from reading your review I may consider this device instead. What I need to know is this. When the phone is in a phone holder which you have in a car for example does the screen get pressed at the sides? I don't wan't to open up Waze put my phone in a holder and it get cancelled out by what it thinks is a button press. Also, is the screen goign to be scratched easy? I am guessing there is no decent screen guards yet. I did buy some screen protection liquid that was recommended on these forums and my lumia still got scratched by about an inch or so.

Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.
Cheers!

No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

Is there any resolution to the missing google map app

Is there any chance that apple will get google maps back

You can have a google maps app by going to maps.google.com in safari, then, you press the 'share' button in the bottom center of the safari page that looks like an arrow coming out of a square. When you press the share button, you'll see the option to add the page to your home screen. This will allow you to access google maps from your homescreen just like before
