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.

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"

HT5429 I noticed my moms iPad 2 had a option to print off the maps app, my iPad 2 does not. Has anyone else noticed this?

I was helping my mom with her iPad 2 and noticed her map app can print the map out by touching the bottom right corner. So I came home excited that I could do the same on my iPad 2, unfortunately mine does not have the print option. How would I change this?

Plug it into the wall charger.

HT5429 I have recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and transited for 6 hours in China. Since returning to the UK my maps app on Iphone 5 will not show my surroundings in hybrid or satellite. How can i get this back?

I have recently returned from a holiday in New Zealand and transited for 6 hours in China. Since returning to the UK my maps app on Iphone 5 will not show my surroundings in hybrid or satellite. I have also noticed that the data from section that usually displays data from TOM TOM and others now just says others. Has anyone encountered this before or know how to get the Satellite function on maps back?

Your phone is "stuck" in the Chinese version of maps. This also happened to me once I got back from China recently. I believe I solved the problem by logging out of iCloud and reloging in.
BTW the App Store app was also stuck in China. It only displayed Chinese characters and I had to log out and relogin.
Hope this helps.

HT5429 Is there a way to turn off the turn-by-turn navigation voice from the map app itself without ending the directions?

I know that it is possible to turn off the voice for turn-by-turn directions completely (in the settings menu), but is there a way to temporarily silence the voice from the maps app itself? For example, if I am driving to the freeway from my house I know how to get there and do not want my phone talking to me, but I would like to keep the directions active and turn on the voice once I need it later in the directions. Is there an easy way to do this without going to the settings app each time?

I don't think there's any way to do it, but I'd like that feature as well: on long trips I listen to an audiobook and when I'm travelling routes that I already know well, I mostly want to use navigation to route around any traffic that might occur.
In both cases, the voice directions aren't welcome, and I can get by with the on-screen display… and in other GPS navigation software or hardware I've had, muting the voice was an easily accessed option. (Garmin USA on the iPhone, for example, has a 'mute' icon available right on the maps display).
I've requested that feature at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html - you may wish to do the same.

HT5429 is there a way to enter custom directions to locations on the maps app?

I have directions I want to use to get to a location but they are not the same as the ones the maps app pulls up. is there a way to edit the route on the maps app for custom directions?

No.

HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.

HT5429 Give me back Google Maps! the new Apple maps app is not as accurate.

I tried looking for a route I used on Google maps and the streets were missing on the new map app. What are they thinking? let me choose and use Google maps.

Thank you. I was aware of that link and corresponded with the community hosts back in May of this year when they stated, "Unfortunately, we are unable to publish the privileges that come at Level 7 and above. I understand your concern with the level system but am not at liberty to share more than we are working on ways to improve."
Why don't they make level 6 the top level or get on and sort it out. They keep moving the goalposts and seem to be a law into themselves by ignoring mails when put under pressure.

HT5429 I like the GPS Map APP presently on my iPad2. If I upgrade to IOS6 will I lose the current APP?

I have an IPad2 and have been very happy using Google maps and the asssociated navigation. I also use Golfshot which relies on the embedded GPS. Will I lose all that with the latest software upgrade? Or can I have both?

Google map app has been replaced by Apple Maps in iOS 6.
I haven't updated my iPad 2 yet. iOS 6 doesn't add much for iPad 2.

HT5429 Using iphone 5 Map app?

I am Canadian and going to US. Can I use my iphone 5 app maps without having to pay roaming charges?

Google's app requires a data connection, so that won't work. What I mean is this: Apple's new Maps app supports offline use & you can download a pretty large area, like almost all of California as an example. However, anything other than that would require a data connection to get more maps. There are navigation apps in the app store that cover the entire US. You download & store that data locally on your phone, no further data connection needed. I guess it boils down to where you're going, etc.

HT5429 Problem with the map apps

How do you delete a "dropped Pin" from the map apps?

Which one? Google? Apple? Waze?

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.

"Click here to download the latest map app..." here's what you need to do...

It looks like they're pushing out the googlemap -> Bing maps update to the palm pre handsets now. The process they've come up with is kind of flawed. It's probably best to just go to the app catalog & download the new map app directly. If you wait for them to push it to you, what happens is that once you start googlemap, instead of going to the map app, it shows a hyperlink text stating "click here to download the latest map app." Clicking that link will keep you in the googlemap app, but will display a webpage designed for a full-size browser experience. You will have *no* way to zoom in to see any of the text. It's all miniscule gibberish.
Here's what you need to do. Everything you need is on the left hand side. The first field is a drop down letting you pick your country. Then, there's a field where you enter in the phone number associated with your palm. Then there's a check box that you need to check indicating that you've read whatever gibberish was written on the left side. then you click the big grey button on the lower left.
It sends an sms message to you allowing you to link to the appropriate app download. like I said...it probably would've saved you effort to just go directly to the app catalog.

Using iPhone Maps App abroad

I should start by saying that I have no problems with Maps on my iPhone 3G.
In fact I seem to have a magic iPhone judging by the posts and questions elsewhere.
My iPhone, with data roaming turned off - wifi off - 3G off, and with only a very basic 2G network with O2 in rural Wales and with only 1 to 2 bars of signal, quickly uploads the Google maps to the highest resolution (less than 1 minute). And no, the maps were not already cached on my iPhone unless someone stole it, went the remote location, used the maps app, then sneakily returned the phone. Neither do I suffer from memory lapses, nor Alzheimer's (though my children might disagree).
My questions are;
1) does this (marvellous) service actually operate over a bog standard mobile network connection?
2) will it work as well anywhere in the world with a bog standard mobile network connection?
3) will it cost me 'roaming' minutes to use the Maps app abroad.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the info. I take it then that you don't need Wifi, Edge, or 3G for Maps to work which is good news, and contrary to many of the posts I have read.
Bog standard means 'basic' thought to be a corruption of 'box standard' as in 'vanilla', 'no frills' etc. Usually used in a slightly derogatory manner, as in "my kids have ended up in a 'bog standard' school".
Thanks again.
