HT5429 Poor quality and missing Street View from Apple Maps - any alternative?

Is it just me, or are other appalled by the poor quality and loss of key functions in the new Maps app.  Newbury has replaced Gillingham Dorset!! It also has no Street View which I use when visiting unfamiliar places. Apple appears to be prioritising its own interests above those of the customer by releasing something greatly inferior and of poor quality.  Also interested to know if people value "3D Flypast" when living outside London over the much more useful Streetview?
Does anyone know where we can go to get Streetview back?  I found I can still use Google Maps which has been a relief, but it doesn't have Streetview.

Thanks Diavonex.  Have tried this, but it doesn't have Streetview which I find really useful when driving somewhere unfamiliar.  I used to be able to enter the postcode and see what the place looked like.  I could also look at difficult junctions and other landmarks.

    How do I use street view in apple maps?

    You don't. Street View is a Google Maps feature, so you have to use it in the free, downloadable Google Maps app.

    Streetview is the property of Google. The new application not using Google services anymore (for many reasons you can find around the web), Streetview is gone too. Just download the free streetview app from the appstore

  • Have conflicting views from Apple Specialists; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac, however work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot.  Can Pages open, edit and resave them?  Or, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs?

    Have conflicting views from apple Specialits; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac. However, I work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Apple PAGES open .pub files, edit and resave them?  OR, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs?  if yes to buy, any recommendations?

    If you want to switch from PC to Apple I recommend a programm like Parallels.
    It has a tool (believe its called transporter) which runs on your current PC and creates a file (big) which is a "virual machine". It is a 1:1 copy of your PC which will run under parallels on your iMac.
    You will be running your "old" PC as it was under MAC OS X while you run MAC applikations etc at the same time.
    This is how I made the transition to Apple.

  • I have gone out of my way to buy an iPad 2 and you're telling me that I cannot have Siri, as you know iPad's are expensive, and you'd expect the newest updated whenever available. I am not a happy customer and will not but from Apple again.

    If you want to use the "newest updated whatever available." then you would have to buy the newest hardware that supports that. iPad 2 is not the newest hardware available and it can't/does not support siri.

  • SWF poor quality and poor lip sync?

    I normally use After Effects and today is my first time experimenting with Flash.
    I create virtual presenters that are filmed against a green chromakey screen. I use Keylight in AE to key the green and replace it with different backgrounds. These are then saves as .FLV files.
    In my current project the client really wants SWF files. I have tried to convince them to accept FLV's but they won't take them. So, my task is to basically convert my high quality FLV files created in After Effects to SWF's.
    I've imported the FLV into Flash and exported it again as an SWF. However, the quality is very very poor and the video is playing at half the speed of the audio, which throws the lip sync off.
    Can some please walk me through the correct process of importing the FLV and converting it to a high quality SWF file? As this is my first time with Flash it will need to be a 'take my hand'  walkthrough as Flash is very new to me and I am not at all familiar with the softwae interface etc.
    The poor quality SWF I created is attached, as well as the high quality FLV I am working from. My task is to create an SWF that replicates the quality of the FLV.
    Many thanks.

    I would take what Kglad has said a little further. Lyp syncing a live action video of a person with flash is impossible. You could probably do it with some kind of animated figure.
    The client is not always right. Unless they have a limitless budget and are willing to fund you and a team for a year or so, I would suggest that you all take a look at why they want a swf.
    If they think it is because swfs offer good quality, scalable raster graphics, in a small file size...well they are wrong. For this kind of video the file size will be just as large or larger than an FLV and it won't scale up without getting pixelated.
    If they think it is because the swf is easy to play back and an FLV isn't...well they are kind of correct. But in that case the answer is to create some kind of player that plays back the FLV.
    Those are the only two reasons that I can think of why someone would say, "Oh we have to have a swf."
    Maybe there are others?

  • MBP Retina FaceTime HD Camera has very poor quality and artifacts.

    Hey guys, the camera on my 2012 MBP 15' Retina has ridiculously poor quality. After recieving it I had got major artifacting while using the camera for skype, facetime and Google+. Usually the artifacting would continue (many multi-colored horizontal lines across the screen of the camera) until finally the bars would disappear maybe one or two bars would remain, regardless it was usable. I noticed, however, the quality was attrocious, but I assumed it was just how it was supposed to be (very surprised for a $2300 laptop). Recently my friend purchased the same laptop, after looking at his FaceTime HD camera, I realized mine was simply an attrocious fluke, my camera had ridiculous blurring and grain and awful light sensing. I am still under warranty until November 23rd, 2013. What are your opinions on how to get this resolved?
    Here are some pictures:

    Call AppleCare which you should have done from day one. 
    After recieving it I had got major artifacting while using the camera
    You had 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer.  No questions asked!

  • Missing keyboard viewer from international pane

    Was following the tutorial from apple for their "Quick Tip of the Week: Keyboard Viewer"
    .However when i open the international section from system preferences and select input menu, there is no keyboard viewer..I only see the various language formats and nothing else..
    Any ida how to find the keyboard viewer menu??
    Thanks in advance

    I have just realised that I am suffering from exactly the same thing. All the diffent languages are listed under Input Menu but none of the palettes (i.e. keyboard viewer, character palette, etc.).
    I wonder if it can have anything to do with the keyboard firmware update 1.0 for the MacBook.
    Unless someone can come up with a solution I consider formatting and starting anew.

  • Did ios6 remove the street view from maps?

    Is there a setting required to see street views in ios6?

    There is no street View in the new Maps App. The new Maps app is now made by Apple inastead of Google. As of yet thay have not incorporated the feature into the App.
    If you need street view use the google maps website through safari instead.
