HT5429 ios6 map integration is horrible

It doesn't provide directions when using public transportation. Help! Please tell me this feature is coming TOMORROW!

Agreed. A big mistake, from my perspective. This regressive omission has been lost in all of the hubbub over map inaccuracies. Officially, Apple invites the market to find the best solution to public transportation integration. That's a bunch of hooey. It feels like a half- baked app rushed to market to meet the iPhone 5 release date.
2 options I've tried (in Seattle):
1. Download google map website. Requires internet access or a phone signal, but not a big issue in urban area.
2. Free HopStop app. Integrates with Map, but only by launching another app. Different UI is not clean by Apple standards. Banner ads on the bottom. Info has been accurate so far. Good turn-by-turn walking directions to bus stops.
OK, but all-in-all, poor substitutes for the simple, functional elegance of the Google Map app.
Google Maps iOS 6 app reportedly coming sometime in the 6 month time horizon.

HT5429 ios6 Maps - go "via" somewhere and "edit" a route - any way to do these?

In ios6 maps I cannot find a way to set a "via" point when planning a route - is there any way that can be done? It was so simple before. Also, I can't find a way to edit a route (ie to make a change to my start or end point) - all that it lets me do is "clear" the route and start again. Thanks

Mavericks Maps apparently has the same deficiency.

Apple IOS6 Maps a serious downgrade. How can I get google maps back!

IOS6 Maps function is terrible, can I restore the old one?

Help. What has happened to the Map application in iOS6? It is terrible, almost unusable. The resolution is used to be good, now places I could easily see in fine detail are either gone from the map entirely or the resolution has been dowgraded significantly. Railway lines seem to have disapeared also? What has happened? Why release an update with significantly worse performance than the one it replaces? I need the map app and I can't really use it in it's current condition. Can I go back to the previous operating system? Is there a way of rolling back my system and restoring the old one?
Thanks

Regardless, if the iOS 6 Maps app doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work. Apple reports that they are working on improving their new Maps service. You can reports problems via these procedures:

Until iOS 6 Maps reaches the level of finesse necessary to be fully usable to you, take a look at some alternatives:
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/20/how-to-get-google-maps-on-ios-6
MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

Waze is another very well reviewed app.

Here's an article detailing how to receive Public Transport directions.

Turn by turn directions with ios6 map aren't coming through my bluetooth.

I don't get turn by turn directions with the new ios6 map through my bluetooth. My bluetooth shows up on the on the map and it's checked. When I check phone I get audio through the phone. When I check bluetooth I get no audio. My bluetooth continues to work fine for calls.

Same issue in my 2011 Highlander with iPhone 5. Both Toyota and Apple blame the other guy. I use the same workaround mentioned above: play an audio track through the music app and turn-by-turn will play as well. It also lowers the music for you when giving directions. I actually took this one step further and made a blank mp3 file that I play on repeat for when I just want turn-by-turn without the distraction of music. This workaround works with any app that streams audio, e.g. I use Slacker Radio as well. Similarly, niether Google Maps, nor MapQuest will provide turn-by-turn audio without music streaming. Let's hope they fix this.

IOS6 map on iPhone4 - the mileage on label did not change during driving

iOS6 map on iPhone4 - the mileage on label did not change during driving. Alos, The re-routing is not working at all.

Thanks, even this helped a bit, it was not a solution. I think main problem is that I wait for activating iMessage and already once it was not activated. Now I will wait again for some hours but I fear same, no result.

HT5429 how do i delete a dropped pin in ios6 maps

I have some dropped pins that I want to delete, but can't seem to get rid of them. Anyone have suggestions?

This is what I get after clicking the "i" in the little circle.

What's all the fuss about iOS6 maps???

For starters, I'm not an iFan... My first smartphone was a BB and I used to swear by it. I found (and sometimes still do) that the iPhone was more of a toy while the BB was a professional tool. I still prefer the BB Bold's keyboard for typing emails than the iPhone's touchscreen keyboard. I ended up buying a 4S earlier this year (March) only because BB had no Outlook Exchange license available where I lived (Maldives) and it was either Android or iPhone, so the choice was clear there. Since then, I've come to grow quite fond of it and am quite happy with the integrations and functionality of the phone albeit it being slightly more time-consuming to send out emails.
The iPhone 5 launch event came out and I looked at all the details. Here's my conclusion: an extra row or icons, a slightly faster processor and most of all 4G. Now, I don't really need an extra row of icons... In fact, I sometimes find the 4S a little too long (jeans pockets along with a pack of cigarettes: cigarette pack usually loses and looks like it's been trampled by a herd of elephants...). So, I'm not in for a bigger screen as the current one's just fine. I never found my 4S to lack speed so I don't really care about the faster processor either. 4G? I love it! But I live in China now... It will be a while before it'll come out here, so why bother for the moment? It's complicated enough as it is as China Mobile (biggest network and best coverage, which I am also currently on) doesn't even have 3G for the iPhone. Only EDGE, but I make do... China Unicom offer 3G for iPhones but not as good a coverage... So, what to do? So in the end, a 4S with the brand new iOS6 update to me sounds better than going out to buy a new iPhone 5.
Update has been out for 3 days now. And before I went ahead and updated I checked the reviews, comments and discussions... WOW! It would seem Apple has opened the wraths of **** upon the world and that the Apocalypse is upon us when reading on about all the bugs and issues. And everyone goes on and on about the maps... It's made it onto CNN, BBC and just about anyone with an iota of grey matter and a keyboard. There are even comments mentioning that Asia is practically mapless with the new native app. I froze! No way in **** was I going to update if I was going to lose such functionality. I've just arrived here 2 months ago, don't speak a word of the local language, feel like getting an audience with the Pope is simpler than giving a cab driver directions and the Google Maps app has often been a lifesaver for me here so far... As much as I want to get my hands on the rest of the new functions, it was a risk not worth taking.
Today I bump into a colleague of mine at work and he's just updated his iPad (2nd gen) to iOS6. I tell him all I've heard about the maps and he brings it up to the restaurant for lunch. I'm scrolling through the new map app and honestly don't find much of a difference. Now, seeing as everyone is whining about the uselessness of the directions the new app gives, I give it a test. I search for the Park Hyatt in Beijing. The Google Maps app used to give me 3 different results. The new app gives me one result only, it's correct and gives me the right directions to get there...
So, what is all the fuss on the new update??? So Apple got rid of Google Maps... Yes, it'll take time to get better but Apple so far have usually managed to do a pretty good job at doing that. At first, everyone was complaining about battery drainage... Nobody mentions it anymore... Strange... Is this intentional Apple bashing?... From what I've seen so far, I still don't get what all the fuss is about.
I'm going ahead with the update... Will let you know how it goes!

Hi,
What's the worst that I've spent 100 Eur alltogether for GPS map based applications for several sports - golf, bike, ski, etc. These applications use data from iPhone Map application and its disaster after my update onto iOS 6. These are pictures of 2 of my favorit golf resorts:
And here one example from a place where I use to bike:
Very nice, isn't it?
And unfortunately this problem won't disappear even when Google put stand alone map application into iStore.
So I have only way to downgrade to 5.1.1 immediately to not throw away money I already spent.

Google Map Integration with Map Viewer is not working

Hi Team,
My MapViewer Version: Ver11_1_1_7_B130111
I have created a Google Map (with Type of Map Source as "Google Maps") in Oracle Map Viewer and i could see google map in Oracle Map Viewer(using "show Map").
I wanted to show a village map theme over the above google map in a web page and i am using Jdeveloper to integrate map viewer with Village data. I could see the google maps inside Jdeveloper however when i run the Jdeveloper code google map is not shown inside the web page.
I tried with Oracle Maps, Bing Maps as the "map source" in map viewer and tried integrating inside Jdeveloper and got same result (blank screen). However when i tried a different mapviewer ( Base Map ELOCATION.WORLD_MAP from OracleFMW MapViewer Home ) i could see the map in the web page.
I could get all other base maps (created with "internal" as the map source") in the web page, so there is some thing that i am missing with Google Maps, Bing Maps, Oracle Maps. Could you please help me what is that i am missing or point to a help resource?
Thanks
Nag

Hi Jayanth,
Issue is solved after creating the web page using latest JDeveloper (11.1.2.4). Thanks a lot for your help
With Regards

After updating IOS6, Maps got serious issue. It is not showing any destination or route. When we can have google map or a map where we can use as GPS???

Hi,
I have updated IOS6 yesterday, It was amaizing but I have lost Maps. Earlier it was very easy to access on Maps as a GPS device. I was very much happy with iPhone 4S as it was working with Maps very fast and was able to provide me correct route but after this updates, I lost the maps and their stuff. I think you really need to provide us new patch which make Maps in correct usable task.
We really need GPS device to find locations, earlier it was very good but not this updated map is seriously not good.
Thank you

This is more of a Google issue. When they browse to Google's page that you link to, Google detects the mobile device and redirects to their "Mobile" version of their site. Their mobile version of their site doesn't have all the features of their full blown site.
This isn't about the iPhone but rather Google opting to detect a mobile device (not just an iPhone) and redirect to a different version of their site.
Contact Google and ask when they are going to add MyMaps support to their mobile device pages.

Updated to IOS6, maps doesn't work

So I updates my software to ios6, was really looking forward to it as iv waited months like so may others and its terrible.
My maps doesn't work at all, the location is completely wrong and when I switch to hybrid or satellite view it just goes into black grids and doesn't come on, when I do get a picture in an area miles away from me it's black and white, I understand it only came out today and there will be glitches but the new maps is one of the main things in the update so I expected that to be up to scratch, also my keypad is forever freezing since iv updated.
In all honesty I'm actually really disappointed in the update and if I'd have know I'd have stuck with ios5, the colour scheme was a lot better in the old version to, just wondering if anyone else has came across the map problem?

im having the same trouble funny how they never mentioned this before we updated i wasnt expecting the 3d flyover view to work on iphone 4 because of the lack of appropiate processing power but i wasnt expecting to lose the hybrid or satellite view all im left with is the basic mapping view
cmon apple fix it or at least let us have google maps back as an option

Problem with IOS6 maps

Load this map and save it on your Home Screen
