HT5429 Map app is the worst

maps app so bad, it is not really use able. The map took me the 200 block of a street, when the address entered was the 2200 block, not entered wrong, i just click on a blue address from an email.
Also traffic is impossible to see, you can not see slow areas and if you I large the map, it is no better.
Can and how do I get rid of this and get something that works? Apple really screwed up this one

You can add Google maps as a shortcut to your screen and use it until Apple updates their database.
Open Google maps in Safari, tap on the icon with the arrow and then hit on "add to homescreen"

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. Please help

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

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.

When will the iphone get audio directions in the maps app like the droid?

When will the iphone get audio directions in the maps app like the droid?

We have no idea when, or if, spoken directions will ever be added to the iPhone as a default feature. There are, however, other apps available from third-party developers that provide turn-by-turn directions.

How do I look at my favorites in the Maps app with the new iOS8 software?

I can't find any button that leads to my Favorites/Bookmarks in the Maps app. There used to be an icon or something that I could click on but I don't see anything anymore since I got the new iOS8 software. Please help!

Hi luvs2dance900,
In iOS 8 you find your favorite locations by using the search bar. If you tap that, the Favorites section will come up and you can then tap it and see your favorites and select from them. See this page -
Find places - iPhone

HT5429 Map App

Is there a way to delete the Map App which is total garbage and go back to using the Google Maps function which actually worked and had street view which I used all the time?

Yes that's sadly not possible. I also feel this is a faliour by Apple.
Sadly Apple has shipped this without real testing.
We are many who do not understand Apple anymore, businesses loosing jobs as there business has used an integrated map/contact/calendar feature over many devices for day to day productivity.
(And to the fan boys , who will now jump on this. Apple's CEO has said this him self, so if you can't help. Then stay silent on the subject )
All I can suggest is to give apple feedback and post your frustration on all possible sites, so we can get this fixed as fast as possible.
I feel with you.

Can we use the new maps app on the n95

Okay i just read about maps1.0
And i can download it from nokia in a test app but why cant we get it specificly for the n95 as they aint got that model listed but if u do a search its all over the net on the n95 thanks
Nokia N95 v31.0.017 16GB Nokia N91 4GB Nokia N80 2GB Sony Ericsson W850i 4GB

Hi jasonr2000
There are several issues here:
Nokia Maps application is already integral part of N95 software, maps can either be downloaded by GPRS (cost implication) or by using Maploader application on PC for transfer to phone.
Nokia took over Smart2go (beta software) and are now in process of releasing Nokia maps v1.1, although any changes to installed application in N95 are most likely to arise through future phone software updates.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

How to create the floating message view like Map app and Safari does?

Hi, guys,
I am trying to implement a information message view like the Map app and the Safari does.
Here is the description:
1. When you drop a pin in the Map app and then tap on the pin, you always can see a floating transparent message on the top of the pin.
2. When you tap and hold on a link in the Safari app for a few seconds, you can also see a same message view like the Map app does and without showing the disclosure button.
All I want is such kind of thing, but I had look through out the documentation and the Interface Builder components list. I can not find such a component.
Does anybody has a similar experience on implement this?
Thank you guys..

You're not going to find a control to do this for you. You will have to create a subview and set the properties (color, frame, etc) yourself.

Im trying to find out were I can go and submit a email to add to all the other people who cannot stand this new maps app. I want the google app back now or they need to make it the exact same. I hate that you have to close it out and redo the whole direct

Hello. Ive never even wanted to use my time to do this. But this maps app is absolutly discusting. There are a couple cool things but for the most part its horrible. I drive for a living. So I use maps app all the time. This has affected how I do my job. Ill either get a android phone soon if apple doesnt fix this problem. I dont like that you have to redo your directions each time you shut your phone off instead of starting off were your current position is. I dont like that you cant swipe to the next turn you have to make so you can see ahead. I have no use for the 3D option. Thats cool for some and I understand that. But please take it back it to the way the old maps worked but keep the voice navigation. I do like the maps sceem. But people if this is not were I need to post this please let me know. email [email protected] email me people please if you can help me or tell me were to find were I can email apple so they can see this complaint. I dont want to sound like a complainer cause im not. I just dont like this new maps app. I love apple products. IOS is awesome.

They are actively working to improve the Apple Maps app.
It is extremely unlikely that you will get the Google Maps app back, as the built in app. Google may release an app one day in the app store.
You can alos look for other Map apps in the app store.

How did Apple screw up the maps app this badly?

I am normally not a complainer, but rather appreciate great technology.
However, I am shocked beyond description about how badly Apple screwed up the maps application in IOS 6.
The maps application is the by far the most frequently used and most useful iphone application for me.
I rely on it all the time. It WAS so incredibly easy to use, and almost always dependable.
Yes, turn-by-turn directions would be nice, but not at the cost of screwing up so many other critical features.
I have now had 2 extremely frustrating experiences.
The other night, I was driving home from work and using the maps application to route to a store. I was using the voice instruction mode. There was heavy traffic so I wanted to zoom out / around to look for alternate routes. Well, this is almost impossible to do, and furthermore, there is much less accurate and detailed information about traffic conditions. This would have been a piece of cake with the old maps application.
Yesterday, I had to make a trip to Pacific Sales in San Jose.I tried "Pacific" with the mapped zoomed to the general area, and it could not find it.Then I tried "Pacific sales", again no luck. Its an appliance store, so I tried "appliances", and again no luck.
Finally, I had to log into the web, go to google maps, and find it there.
It was slow, but it worked!
1 month ago, I had the highest confidence in Apple due to their track record of deliverying great stuff that works and is easy to use.
I would never have considered an android phone.
However, this problem with the maps app has so shaken my confidence in Apple, that I will go today to look at a Samsung Galaxy III.
Maybe its not going to be my thing, but I hope Apple realizes how big they screwed up.
The Apple of Steve Jobs would never, ever, ever have let this happen.
The old Apple would have stayed with Google Maps for another year, and made this new maps app better, more reliable, and more user friendly than Android BEFORE releasing it. It would have been revolutionarily good and would have surprised us with how good it was.
I really truly love Apple and its products.
But this is a really bad mistake and I am so fearful that its an omen of whats to come in future from Apple.
I would not be surprised if this very deeply damages Apple at a time when the competition is getting tougher & tougher.
Of all the functions on the Apple Iphone, the maps are the heart and soul. Apple is probably right to go its own way eventually, but not like this!
It is just going to drive people into the arms of Android.
I am just curious, did Apple actually test this thing thoroughly before releasing it?
I mean, it took me only a few days to figure out this thing is total crap.
How did Apple not know this (which is a very scary thought), or maybe even more scary, maybe they did know but feel they have enough market power to get away with it? I can't think of any other explanations. So, which is it? Either way, its very bad news for Apple fans.

Ok, 3 more wonderful IOS 6 maps experiences to share!
When out shopping for paints, decided to visit Kelly Moore.
Used the maps app and used it to take me to the nearest store, except it was not where maps said it would be!
I called the Kelly Moore store, and they told me the maps app has the wrong town, and they have had many customers with the same problem!
Next up, I was looking for a Sherwin Williams store in San Jose, so maps took me to El Camino Real, except it took me to the wrong end of El Camino Real in Santa Clara, about 15 minutes from the right destination in Mountain View! In fact, the app took me to Santa Clara University!
Last up, I was looking for a Chevron station. Apps routed me to the location, but no gas station.
So, I finally decide to use google maps through the browser, and it ends up it was again the right address but wrong city!!!!
Unbelievable! My confidence in Apple has been further shaken, to where I am about to give up.
I just can't trust their app, which is something I depend on every day to save me time, money and gas.
So disappointed in Apple right now... It makes antenna gate look like a minor incident, which it was in my opinion!

TS1702 Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store.

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

I agree. I liked the previous map app. The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think. No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin. Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had. Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

IOS update fix for the map app

So exactly how long do users have to wait for an update fix for the map app?

The maps included with the iPhone do not cost extra and do use the existing data plan.
AT&T Navigator (GPS) does cost an extra $9.95 (or so) per month.
Most other GPS apps have no monthly fee and use the GPS and, in some cases, the data plan on your phone.
I recommend either Navigon (takes a lot of storage room but maps are stored on the iPhone) or GPS Drive (reasonable price, has great features, maps come from the data path so requires a data signal but takes much less space).
