IOS6 map is useless for public transit users

I LOVED the google map on my iphone and used it daily, the user experience was great w/ detailed directions and a map view for public transit. Having to use Embark on the new OS is AWFUL and I have to switch back and forth between Embark and the new map. PLEASE BRING BACK GOOGLE MAP!

this will certainly rank among Apples stupidest moves. Maybe the proportion of map users that utilize the public transit feature is not enormous, but those of us that do use this feature use it intensively and derive great utility from it.
Isn't it ironic that Apple, the company that created one of the most iconic ad campaigns in history (i.e. the one poking fun at lemmings following the masses onto the PC platform), is now dictating use of inferior features just because they have the lemmings locked into their platform? It's almost as if Apple is no longer interested if customers can or can't use their products to create the most individually valuable user experience possible.
Wasn't there a time when Apple would not attempt to provide a product or service unless it could provide a superior service? Or am I thinking of someone else?
I am now.

IOS6 maps are useless, and other observations

Well Apple, I'm not sure what happened here - but it seems like you hired some engineers that must have been fired by Microsoft.
Seriously, your new map app is a COMPLETE JOKE, and is simply useless. Did you even bother to beta test it? Obviously if the product is THIS bad, it should still be in beta, and we should still be using Google Maps until you at least get Apple Maps *working*.
KEY ISSUES (and I know I'm not alone here)
1) Poor detail. Lack of street name.
2) Missing traffic data - you show RED bars only, while YELLOW is also very useful.
3) Crashes
4) Search feature does not spell check correctly or come up with similar local addresses like Google maps does. Frequently, Apple maps can't find an address at all.
5) Trip router is a JOKE. No way to skip freeways, and no transit inormation. Trip router will take the LONGEST WAY using freeways instead of a far shorter rout using surface streets.
6) Usability is lame - for instance, you do a search, then click the rouut trip button, and... the trip rout does not use the item you just searched for. If you want to update the rouut from your most currrent location, there is no edit button, and you have to cancel, and scroll into recents etc etc.
7) There is no separate tab vfor routed directions and searched.
8) S L O W
9) WRONG
Google Maps WAS the most used app on my iPhone next to Pandora. Now, MAPS is useless. By upgrading my iPhone to iOS6, I have degraded my iPhone and rempved some of it's most important

Hi,
You are here on a user-to-user message board and not in contact with apple representatives. If you have complains to do I suggest you do so through the feedback tool on apple.com

Map ***** for public transportation! What app can help me get the same results as the map before the ios6 upgrade?!!

I remember using maps for public transportation before i start driving and it was pretty godd. Telling me when the next bus is departing giving me all the option necerssary to get to where i want to go all in the map app...now when i touch on the public transportation option it just take me to a bunch of apps that i try and try and none of them work as the map...so now i want to know if there is any app that can replace the efficience of maps before ios6 upgrade...
Please help

There are lots of public transit information apps in the App Store. A search for "public transit" or "public transportation" should turn them up. What you might find useful would depend on where you'd be using it. I've used HopStop.

What is your solution for getting public transportation in map? Actually my iphone is useless for me because it hasn't a public transportation map.

This has been a huge problem for me too. I was actually late to work yesterday and wanted to throw my phone out the window of the bus that I finally was able to find. I'm new to Portland, so this suddenly missing feature is particularly problematic. It really is so hard to avoid getting angry, I just can't believe they would eliminate a feature that people rely on so heavily. But anger doesn't do any good so I'm trying my hardest to stay calm and figure out an acceptable solution while Apple works to restore this feature - at least I pray to God that that's what they aim to do. Here are the apps that I've been trying, I'll try to explain how they work and maybe they will work for you. This is going to be a long post, but I'm hoping some people will find it helpful.
I'll start with the most obvious of all - adding Google Maps to your homescreen. Every time you launch the app you will get a diaologue prompting you to allow Google Mpas to use your location, and then you will be in an environment that looks similiar to what we are used to. It does not integrate with your contact list, so one workaround I've been using is going to my contacts and holding my finger on an address to copy it to the clipboard. Be aware that leaving this web app will lose whatever you're looking at and go back to the start, so best to do this before you launch it. You'll notice some strange behavior - for instance the drop down menu of suggested locations will apear and then quickly disaprear, so just ignore this. Often it will often unexpectadly scroll to the top for some reason when you're trying to do something towards the bottom. Haven't figured out a fix except for trying to not get flustered and doing things slowly and deliberately. It's not as quick as we're used to anyway so this is not hard to do. If you'd like to see any of the suggested routes on a map you can do this by clicking the small 'Map View' link. Just be aware that you can only do this once or you will have to type in your starting an ending points again, as there is no way to go back to the list you were just looking at once you are in map view. One thing that I have found helpful about the Google maps method is when looking at a route, whether in list or map view, you can see the stop ID right there, which is helpful if your city has a way to check real-time arrivals. For instance here in Portland you can text this stop ID to a certain number and immediately receive real-time arrivals.
The app I've been using most is called 'Transit'. It's pretty beautiful aesthetically, and the UI is simpler than anything else I've come across, which is convenient for a task that you want to accomplish as quickly as possible so you can put away your phone and be on your way. When you first launch it you're presented with three bus routes that stop near your current location. It tells you which direction the route is headed and in how many minutes the next bus is scheduled to arrive. This is helpful if you are familiar with that particular busline, otherwise there's no indication of where the line will take you. Upon clicking a line, you're presented with three buttons (again, loving the simplicity). One reverses the direction of that same busline. One expands the list of times so you can quicly see all the arrival times for that bus route at that particular stop for the entire day. The other takes you to map view and quickly displays the location of this stop. And here's the best feature of all (!!), it shows you the busline as a blue line and every single stop is marked with a circle. You can click on a circle and it displays the expected arrival time at that stop. This is all very helpful in some circumstances, but of course it does not let you type in a destination and have it build a route for you, and if you'll be transferring to another line this will not help you at all. To accomplish this you press the arrow in the lower left where you can type in a starting point, ending point, and an arrival/departure time. And this DOES reference your contact list. It will then allow you to quickly switch between three routes that it selects. It also searches Maps (actually it says 'Powered by Foursquare' for landmarks/establishments. For instance if I type in 'sushi', I'm presented with a handful of sushi joints in my area. There is a bug in this app where sometimes the 'Route' button is missing and you can only resolve this by leaving the app and quitting the process in the multitasking trail. When it builds your route, you can click on any point of transfer and it will tell you what time that bus/train is leaving. There is no list view, but personally I never found list view very helpful anyway. I know some people will disagree though.
Now I'll talk about HopStop. This is a kind of clunky interface unfortunately, and also has ads which I can't stand. It is able to reference your contact list. My least favorite thing about this app is the list it gives you is so excessively long-winded it's hilarious. Every single stop along the route is listed in this list view, so you'll be scrolling through literally dozens of pages of useless information like 'Pass such-and-such - 1 min. Pass such-and-such - 1 min. Pass such and such - 2 min.' Oh well. The good news is on this insanely long list, it indicates when you are supposed to do something other than sit patiently in your seat by having an icon to the left of that instruction - either a person walking or a bus number. When you switch to list view unfortunately it no longer displays departure times, so you'll have to be switching betwen maps and list view. One great feature of this app is it lets you save routes to your favorite list. It also lets you find bus stops and quickly see what bus lines hit those stops. I can't stand the flashing advertisements, so I avoid using this at all costs.
On to 'City Maps'. Again, the first thing you will see is a short list of bus lines that hit the stop nearest to you. Tap on one and it shows you the next three departures in either direction, as well as the distance between your current location and the stop in question. This app also searches for restaurants and such, but takes this feature on step further. Here when I type in 'sushi' and select a restaurant, I'm brought to a page that links to the Yelp, Foursquare, and Facebook pages associated with it - even has a link that takes you directly to the menu if Foursquare has it. Awesome feature, right?? Tap on 'Map' and it immediately displays the location and an option to build a few routes. It always displays the walking route below the bus lines to give you a sense of how long it would take (even if it's a two hour walk). Clicking on a bus route on this list takes you to list view. Unfortunately this also displays a deluge of pointess turns that only the bus driver need worry about, but it's not as bad as HopStop. There's an optional feature where it can display Google Street View images right in this list view, if you think that could be helpful. With one tap it quickly switches to a very aesthetically pleasig map view. There's an update button that lets you immediately refresh directions, edit starting/ending points, or give it new directions altogether.
I'm sure in just a moment someone will come along and say something insulting about how we're blowing things out of proportion. I guess that's just the nature of trolls - a lot of people find being angry on forums while hiding behind their screen names cathartic for obvious reasons. Let's all of us just do our best to ignore these people and keep this discussion diplomatic and oriented towards helpful solutions. I know none of us want to give up our beloved iPhones, I'm only considering it as a last resort.

IOS 6 maps and public transit?

When will iOS 6 have a public transit option? Not having one is a pain.

I sent this via feedback: One of the best features of maps WAS public transit info. for when I travel. It was excellent and very reliable. Now Apple maps directs you to the App Store to purchase a free or not free separate app for that. Most have marginal reviews...and some have terrible reviews.
Since I began using Apple products in 1988, this is one of the most blatant rugs pulled from under users with no good replacement.. It seems a disgrace to have done this and hardly can be a sign of a forward thinking company. Your developers increased functionality for the car driver and removed it from the rest...very arrogant and disappointing. Please redeem yourselves.

Public Transit in Maps

Google Maps will give directions with either public transit or walking in addition to driving. Are there plans to add that to the Maps application as well?
I could use google in safari but the app is MUCH faster than the web page. Plus the website doesn't have access to GPS.
Thanks!

This is a user to user forum. We are iphone users like you.
Unless there is an announcement, I'm not sure how we would know what Google's and Apple's "plans" are for the future.

Issue with xsd Data type mapping for collection of user defined data type

Hi,
I am facing a issue with wsdl for xsd mapping for collection of user defined data type.
Here is the code snippet.

In the above wsdl the collection of fintObjInst if of type xs:anytype. From the wsdl, I do not see the xsd mapping for AccountIC which includes Name and Desc. Due to which, when invoking the web service from a different client like c#(by creating proxy business service), I am unable to set the parameters for AccountIC. I am using JAX-WS stack and WLS 10.3. I have already looked at blog http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohlert/archive/2006/10/jaxws_and_type.html but unable to solve this issue. However, at run time using a tool like SoapUI, when this wsdl is imported, I am able to see all the params related to AccountIC class.
Can some one help me with this.
Thanks,
Sudha.

Did you try adding the the XmlSeeAlso annotation to the webservice
@XmlSeeAlso({<package.name>.AccountIC.class})
This will add the schema for the data type (AccountIC) to the WSDL.
Hope this helps.

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved

Change public share access to read only for public and full access to selected users

Hi, new to the community just purchased a recertified WDMyCloud 2TB after my 2 years old MyBookLive 2TB HD died due to accidental power cable unplugging. I've got everything setup including MiniDLNA by following instructions on this forum and everything is working exactly as I want it to except public share. I want public share to be set to read only access for public and full access to certain users (just myself at the moment) and having a "upload" folder within this share with full public access to everything in this folder would be a bonus. I tried login in to ftp with root user and removing write permission for public but that blocks me out as well. I'm sure it's possible by doing some majic on SSH but I wouldn't have a clue so hoping someone here would be able to help me out.

Mr_Khan wrote:
What i want is public to have read only access to file server. Public as in users who do not have a user account on mycloud. E.g someone who connects to to my home network for the first time and is able to browse and download content from public share. I'm aware of being able to set indivual access to shares for users like full access, read only and no access but public users won't have a user account.Through the My Cloud UI interface what you seek to do is not possible. The public share like all other share folders are an all or nothing affair when using the adminstration UI. When using the administration UI you do not have granular control on shared folders to limit non users to read only access or set permission levels for subfolders. The workaround to do what you seek and have the public folder set for read only is to change the folder settings via SSH. It may take some work to set the folder security so that users can read/write to the public folder while the guests only have read access. However, if you reboot the WD My Cloud or update the WD My Cloud firmware those settings may be reset back to the default settings where the entire public folder is read/write for all. There are way to prevent this but again it will take a bit of coding to do so via SSH. See this link (even though its for the WD My Book Live) for a starting point on how to use SSH to change the permission levels on the public folder. Another option if one doesn't go the SSH route is to turn off public sharing for the public folder then create a "guest" user account and give that "guest" account read only access to the public folder while all other user accounts have full read/write access.

How to enable detail view interactive report as default for public user?

Hello all,
I'm currently developing a search results page.
I'm trying to do a nice view instead of a default table like view from the interactive reports. So in this case i enabled the detail view so i could make fancy designs.
all worked well and looked neat but however when i pass value from my search page using IR_ROWFILTER and clear the results page using page_no,RIR, it brings me to the interactive reports result page with the default table like view.
i have to press the detail view to get it. i tried saving it as default but it wont work. this issue is for public user.
if i make the page requires authentication, and save the detail view as default i would not have any problem. i could search and it will straightly bring to the detail view of the search page.
of course the other reason i found is because im using the IR_ROWFILTER and clearing page using page_no,RIR..without it,it works well but i need it coz im doing a a search result. i need to send search text from another page and put it in the filter in the search page. i would need to use RIR to clear it for searching again.
is this a limitation for public user? it doesnt happened for authenticated user though..
how can i make this view as default for public user?

Flip the report into Detail view on page load using an Page Load dynamic action with the following Execute JavaScript Code true action:
gReport.data.view('DETAIL');

Do you really need this to be an IR? Other than the detail layout, do you require any of the interactive features? If not, try using a standard report with a custom report template.

Mandatory UCSS for Public Space - What is the user license upgrade entitlement?

I'm facing a scenario where a customer is running CUWL 8.x and wish to add a large number of conference phones.
Along with the license L-PUB-IP-DEV-UWL the CCW tool auto-adds UCSS. This is a mandatory requirement, it cannot be removed.
However, the Public Space concept has been retired, so this implies that if they eventually try to move onto CUCM 10.x, leveraging their main UCSS contract, they would simply lose all their Public Space users. Is this correct?
My concern is that in spite of being forced to purchase a software upgrade subscription, our customer will never be able to do anything with it.
I was hoping that SWSS had been released but I have a feeling it will not be made available for these licenses.

Thanks Aman.
A considerable decision is being made and I'm looking for supporting documentation. Do we have any link or PDF confirming the public space license would automatically convert to UCL with a major version upgrade?
Also what UCL does it upgrade to (presuming Enhanced)?
Enhanced UCL is about 30% more expensive than Public Space (at least in our theatre). Forgive my skepticism, but I am surprised that Cisco would automatically convert Public => Enh UCL for free. Why not everyone go out and buy Public Space licenses then do the upgrade if this is the case?
Kind Regards,
Ben.

CU7 and Public Folders broken again for Windows XP users?

Went from SP1 -> CU7 and now XP users are getting the same error they had with CU3. Anyone else having the issue?

Hi,
Currently, there is no official article about this issue for Exchange 2013 CU7.
About this problem, I recommend you open Outlook in safe mode for these affected users to check result.
And please check if there is any Group Policy related to this issue.

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

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.

Group Policy Pref - Mapped Drives Not Applying to One User

Hi All,
I’m new to this list, so please excuse any etiquette slip ups. 
I have three users at a site. All their machines are running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and have client side extensions installed. I created a group policy to map their default drives using GP User Preferences.

The group policy is applied to an OU for that site.
All three users are in the same OU.
All three users are also in the same “xxsitecode Users” group.
2 of the users log into their pc and get the mapped drives with no issue, but one user doesn’t.
There are no other login scripts and the user has no manually mapped drives.
He does have a H drive mapped using the profile field in his AD object as a temp measure. But every 90 mins any other manually mapped drives are removed by the policy.
We don’t use roaming profiles
To trouble shoot I have tried
-    Reinstalling client side extensions
-    Re-joining the pc to the domain
-    Running gpupdate from the command prompt to see if any event logs are generated (none are)
-    Manually mapping the drives to make sure there is network access etc – I can manually map them/he can access them.
-    Creating the user a new account, when he logs in using that account he gets his mapped drives on all PC’s
-    Getting the user to log into a different pc, when he does this he doesn’t get his drives – so it’s not his machine or profile
-    Manually checking the security on the user object in AD against one of the users who gets their drives mapped
I'm sure the GP is fine because it works for two other users and the testing isolates his user account as the issue.
The Policy I’m having issues with is xxxx Mapped Drives/ Printers
I have posted this issue on the tech net GP discussion groups page, but haven’t had any replies.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What's interesting is that I applied a new GP to users - it has one policy setting and one preferences setting. He only gets the policy setting.. aka he gets the wallpaper but not the homepage.
Also, Jorke asked me to post the gpresult /z .

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.
Ivan

IOS6 map is useless for public transit users
