IOS 7 Update Can't Map by Contact's Company Name???

Just updated my Apple Gear hoping I wouldn't regret it...
Being in outside sales, it was extremly helpful to be able to plan meetings based on the distance between two companies loaded in as contacts. So what I would do is open maps, click directions, and start typing the company itself. The contact info would load as if you were typing in someone name. The new software doesn't recognize the company as a searchable function if there is a name associated with it.
I know you can click the address while you load it up in contacts and get directions "to or from here", but when you're trying to map the distance between Company A and Company B you can't.
In business, searching by name is not as efficient since there are 50 Mikes in my phone and more often than not an employee is going to change before the company name will.
I see google maps can load by company name, but that scares me because it's not using my preloaded contact (confirmed) information. Which is risky to plan around unconfirmed addresses as well.
Has anyone found a way to have the maps app fix this? Am I missing something? I understand you're never going to please everyone but going backwards a step in usefulness? I'm sure there are other apps and stuff that can do this, but I was comfortable with the apple maps version and it's something that was previously achievable.
Thank you!

How about trying this...
Delete that contact from your Contacts app completely (maybe write down or copy the pertinent information to a Remember note first).
Reboot your device (powered on, remove the battery, reinsert battery)
Open your Contacts app and check for that contact, is it still there or completely deleted?
Check ALL your contacts lists (turn on your SMS contacts and all others, make sure all instances are deleted.
If so, add it back, skipping the Company field... does it self-populate again?

  • ELM 1:N Can we Map Multiple Contact Persons for an Org

    I want to upload Multiple contact persons for an organization.
    Using ELM Mapping tool can we map multiple contact persons for an organization?
    orgID  name  persID  Name   CP_FUNCTIONKEY    CP_FUNCTIONNAME
    9          abc     9          Pers1             01                            Head of CAD
                          9         Pers2             02                            Head of Civil
    Thanks,
    Ramesh

    I found the way the mapping file should be.
    Entry 1: Organisation A, Person A-1
    Entry 2: Organisation A, Person A-2
    Entry 3: Organisation B, Person B-1
    Entry 4: Organisation C, Person B-1
    During mapping, the content of the fields ORG_NAME1, ORG_NAME2, ORG_NAME3, ORG_CITY, ORG_POSTL_COD1, POSTL_COD2, and ORG_STREET are used by the system to determine identical organizations within the list. The content of these fields must be identical for all records that belong to one organization.
    Thanks,

  • Mercedez Benz COMAND System not recognizing iPhone 5 after iOS 8 update, can we expect the same result with iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

    Mercedez Benz COMAND System not recognizing iPhone 5 after iOS 8 update, can we expect the same result with iPhone 6 or 6 plus?
    I'm planning to purchase the 6 plus, but I need to know from where.whom will the fix for this problem emerge.

    My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system.  That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.

  • Imessaging doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

  • N97 How to sort contacts by company name

    Is it possible to sort contacts by company name rather than first name,last name etc?

    This is a HUGE shortcoming of Nokia's contacts app, which is still the most awkward and "old style numeric keypad telephone" oriented applications in the Nokia software suite on smartphones.
    It's the only reason why I am still sometimes missing my Blackberry. There you find everything so quickly, and not only just typing in the individual's name, nor having to use that Nokia general search tool.
    But now that Nokia FINALLY introduced a year ago "finding names typing", without launching the contacts application first I still have the hope that Nokia will release one day a REALLY user friendly, fast and flexible fully integrated agenda suite...

  • What happened to Auto-Correct in the iOS 7 update & can it be fixed?

    I am sooo frustrated & I can't take it anymore!!!
    My keyboard has essentially taken on a mind of it's own since I did the iOS 7 update. And by the 'coded' messages I receive from family & friends, followed by "#%*+ed Auto-Correct!!!" I know I'm not the only one!
    I find it changes words that are spelled correctly & are grammatically sound into something different. It doesn't know what an apostrophe is anymore. It has no sense of humor 'cause it can't figure out how to lol without capitalizing or turning it into something else. (My sister Quoll'ed at me earlier!)
    What's goin' on & how can I get it back to the only sorta-sucky, but mostly funny stuff it did in iOS 6?
    Thanks.

    I've observed this too and have written to Apple feedback. Suggest everyone else do so as well.
    What's happening is they've attempted to implement an autocorrect system that doesn't just look at the current word but the current word and the previous word. In theory that's a great idea, as sometimes the correct spelling will be dependent on context. Mostly, though, its effects are too aggressive and I find I'm ending up with many more errors than under iOS 6 (and I'm fairly accurate on the iP*).
    The thing I specifically complained out – since it makes no sense at all – is the way iOS 7 autocorrect seems to hate commas!
    If I type a phrase like "the line, therefore" iOS 7 will attempt to turn "line," into some a word without punctuation, e.g. "lines" or "lined". Only after I've typed "therefore" will it offer me the possibility of returning to what I actually typed ("line,"). And if I'm in a rush and don't tap the [x] on the proposed "correction" in time then I'm stuck with it and have to go back and manually edit. (Or I don't notice and end up sending someone a complete nonsense of a sentence.)
    This kind of autocorrect is completely nuts. Especially on the iPhone, where you have to go to a different screen of the keyboard to type a comma, so you're hardly going to do it by accident! And on the iPad the corrections almost never involve adding letters that are physically close to the comma key on the keyboard, so again, you're hardly going to hit the comma key by accident if you want, for example, "lines".
    My recommendation to Apple was that auto-correct should always respect all punctuation. (Or there should be a setting we switch on for "respect punctuation".)
    And that autocorrect should focus on trying to correct the kinds of "real" errors that are made by tapping on adjacent keys instead of aggressively trying to predict what we're about to say and actually changing our words.
    In the meantime, I've set up a custom shortcut [,,] which resolves to [, ] – basically on the same principle as two spaces resolving to a period. When I remember to use it, it mostly works quite well at giving me commas that stay stuck.

  • Since Belle update: Can't sync phone contacts with...

    This question was asked in the N series boards by someone else but with no reply's, thanks paramasivan for first raising this.  I have an E6 so I'll post the same query here for better luck. 
    Since the update to Belle the "social network" option from the contacts has been removed.
    This means I can't sync my contacts with my friends/contacts from Facebook.  I've logged in and used Nokia Social but there's no option anymore to sync this.
    So how do we sync these again ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    From another thread on the same topic someone posted these links that worked fine, the second link in particular worked for me.

  • How can I sort iCloud contacts by Business Name?

    I'm trying to use my phone for business. How can I sort my phone contacts in iCloud by Business Name, not First/Last or Last/First. Their needs to be selections for the business user.  More fields.  I don't want to bastardize my contact list right from the start. Did I buy the wrong phone?

    The best app out there (to sort by COMPANY NAME) that nobody knows of is  called "EasyContacts". Be sure to search for it was written in the app  store. It is money well spent. Every person I show this app to decides  to buy it. I use Card Scan still to scan business cards and then export  the contacts to Outlook. I then sync my iPhone via iTunes to read my  Outlook contacts. PERFECTION!!

  • SORT CONTACTS BY COMPANY NAME

    Why don't my contacts sort the same way they are sorted in Outlook? We are a business, we need to sort by a company name not by contact name. Please help.

    I don't work for Apple so I can't speak on their behalf as to their desire to infiltrate the business mobile market.
    All I can do is tell you what the iPhone can and can not do and recommend work arounds for problems that you may be having. From what you have said, you require a feature that the iPhone does not support and the only work around is not satisfactory to you. Given that information, the iPhone is not a good fit for your business needs so you should look into a competing product.
    No one product can be all things to all people. It is up to you to decide if having an iPhone is worth the sacrifices/work arounds necessary.

  • N97 mini - Contact Sort Company, Name

    Hello
    my  N97 mini is for Business use and  I am using Mail for Exchange. Everything works perfect.
    I synchronize Mails, Contacts, dates and tasks  with Exchange.
    In Exchange-Contacts are, along with other contact details, for me the important fields Name and Company.
    When I synchronize, these fields are copied correct to the N97 mini .
    In N97 mini i want to display Contacts in alphabetic order, using the fields Company, Name
    I cant find settings to realize this
    Can anybody help ?
    Thanks

    I find this part of my iPhone completely weird.
    With my Treo running Agendus I could see all my Contacts by their company name and the contacts name alongside. If I did a search by name or company got a result.
    However with 4000 contacts in my AB/iPhone searching for people by their names is difficult. For instance, living in Wales, where Jones, Jenkins, Evans, Davies etc are very common names I could have 20 people called David Jones but only 1 that works for ACME plumbing.
    Also I may want to speak to three people from Acme Plumbing, but I can't remember their surname.
    At the moment my solution to this is to create Groups in AB and split my contacts amongst these i.e zip codes, company sector etc. Also I use the App ABContacts which allows you to see the Contact Name under the Company name or vice versa.
    This is the one area where I really do miss my Palm Treo/Agendus

  • I would like sort my contacts by company name.

    The only way sofar to do this, is create a new contact and enter the company name only and save it. Then edit and add your contacts First and Last name and save again. Example enter Apple in Company and save. Then edit and enter John Dow and save again. Now it will sort by company name. If you enter John Dow and Apple all at the first time it will sort by the person only. I cannot believe there is not a more efficient way to do this or an option that can be used. Any body has found a better way jet?!!

    Yes you can "sort" by Company Name BUT....you cannot "search" by Company Name -- when you try a search it just keeps searching in the "name" fields and does NOT return a Company Name.
    --if you know the name of the person you want to call (which you more than likely will) then searching by name is fine
    but
    --if you can't remember their name (or there are multiple names) but want to look up the company and then scroll through list of names at that company -- forget it -- I can't make it work.

  • Syncing Contacts by company Name

    When I sync with Outlook 2003 Iphone strips out the data from the "file as" field for company contacts without a personal contact name in Outlook.
    Also I have not found a way for iPhone to store/display by company name instead of personal name.
    Is this just how it is or am I missing something?
    Charles

    It is kind of a pain, but I set up a seperate Contact Folder for my iPhone and changed the format of contanct information. I put the +Comany Name+ in the First Name Field (you can also use Last Name) and put the Contact Name in the Company Field. This sorts by Company Name. Whrer I have mutiple contacts at a company with direct lines adn seperate email addresses, i simple put a - and the contacts first name following the Comapny Name in the First Name field. Just make sure to set sync folder to iPhone contact folder.
