IOS6 Maps bugs

I won't be upgrading my iPhone to iOS6 for a while. I tried the new Maps on my iPad, and since I need good navigation on my phone, I'm sticking with the old one. Two killer issues:
1) There's no longer any traffic support in New Orleans. It does show construction, which is a nice new feature, but the red/yellow/green highway speeds are gone.
2) The search database isn't sufficient. One example, I did a search for "NOCCA", the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, where I'm seeing a play tonight. The pin dropped in Italy. That's a bit farther than I want to drive. Maps5 with the Google data gets it right.

Okay, thanks for your input.
I was thinking of doing something along those lines. Although, I wouldn't want to wait too long for the next maintenance update. Any ideas as to when it'll be realeased?
Again, thanks for your help.

You explicity claimed that "all 400 stations are missing" in Apple Maps. I only needed to locate one to prove you wrong. Instead, I proved you doubly wrong. I didn't realize I needed to prove you triply-wrong. Oh well...
Naming subway stops is not Apple's responsibility and obviously not London's strenths. The pin shows the general location of "hammersmith".
Okay I am in Holloway road, where is the nearest station to me?, if I don't know the name I cant find the station. I know there are 6 but Apple does not show any of them
When I enter "holloway road london", I get a bunch of pins and the first one that automatically gets selected is the subway station. Since that is one of "any of them", you have been proved wrong 4 times over.
Etre have you ever been out and used walking maps? I think you need specsavers
Do you actually own an iPhone? Are you aware it has GPS? Have you really ever actually tried it? Because when I manually nagivate to one end of Holloway road and search for "underground", I get this:
Strangely, if I go to the other end of the street and do the same thing, I get an entirely different station:
I wonder what would happen if I did a similar search for "underground" while zoomed in on the "hammersmith" pin?
Well what do you know? But how would I ever get there? Hmmm, you mentioned "walking maps". Maybe I should try walking directions from "hammersmith" to one of the underground stations.
By my count, I have proved your anti-Apple Maps misinformation to be wrong 6 times over. Wanna try for a lucky seven?

Apple IOS6 Maps a serious downgrade. How can I get google maps back!

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

Regardless, if the iOS 6 Maps app doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work. Apple reports that they are working on improving their new Maps service. You can reports problems via these procedures:

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.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/20/how-to-get-google-maps-on-ios-6
MapQuest also has a very nice app available.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mapquest/id316126557?mt=8
Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

Waze is another very well reviewed app.

Turn by turn directions with ios6 map aren't coming through my bluetooth.

I don't get turn by turn directions with the new ios6 map through my bluetooth. My bluetooth shows up on the on the map and it's checked. When I check phone I get audio through the phone. When I check bluetooth I get no audio. My bluetooth continues to work fine for calls.

Same issue in my 2011 Highlander with iPhone 5. Both Toyota and Apple blame the other guy. I use the same workaround mentioned above: play an audio track through the music app and turn-by-turn will play as well. It also lowers the music for you when giving directions. I actually took this one step further and made a blank mp3 file that I play on repeat for when I just want turn-by-turn without the distraction of music. This workaround works with any app that streams audio, e.g. I use Slacker Radio as well. Similarly, niether Google Maps, nor MapQuest will provide turn-by-turn audio without music streaming. Let's hope they fix this.

HT5429 ios6 Maps - go "via" somewhere and "edit" a route - any way to do these?

In ios6 maps I cannot find a way to set a "via" point when planning a route - is there any way that can be done? It was so simple before. Also, I can't find a way to edit a route (ie to make a change to my start or end point) - all that it lets me do is "clear" the route and start again. Thanks

Mavericks Maps apparently has the same deficiency.

IOS6 map on iPhone4 - the mileage on label did not change during driving

iOS6 map on iPhone4 - the mileage on label did not change during driving. Alos, The re-routing is not working at all.

Thanks, even this helped a bit, it was not a solution. I think main problem is that I wait for activating iMessage and already once it was not activated. Now I will wait again for some hours but I fear same, no result.

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.

Maps bugs

So Apple decided it would reinvent the wheel and push out your own Maps tool. Did you bother to check to see if it actually worked?
Try this: Go to http://maps.google.com and type UNCSA and hit enter (that's the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, NC). Google shows 1533 S Main St Winston_Salem, NC 27127 which, BTW, is 100% accurate. Now, if you do that in Apple's new mapping system on iOS6 on an iPad 2 you get 411 S Marshall St Winston-Salem! Almost 1.5 miles away! I really hope for Apple's sake you're not off by 1.5 miles on every destination!
Oh, and BTW, it says I can drag the pin to the right location but it won't let me drag the purple push pin anywhere, it just moves the map! Seriously, did anyone at Apple even test this? Hopefully Google will release their own App that actually knows where things are.
Finally, if you use Google Earth on the same iPad it ALSO finds UNCSA in the right place and if I use Navigation on my Droid RAZR it ALSO finds UNCSA in the right place. Apple, looks like it's time for iOS 6.0.1.
PS. iOS6 is out, you might just want to update the Operating System drop down box in your Support Communities to reflect the fact that iOS 6 is going to have issues reported.

Even better. The more Apple owners who know that Apple's products are buggy perhaps more will skip them or demand better. This is why, regardless of one's stance on Apple, we cannot allow Apple to continue to dominate the market. Monopolies are bad. Apple appears to want to sue everyone who challenges them only to release a buggy OS (seems like 5.0 had 5.0.1 and then 5.1 and then 5.1.1 almost back-to-back-to-back) and expects all its users to just sit back and live with bugs. Even Yahoo Maps gets it right (though they list an off-campus facility first, the #2 listing is the correct address). Apple Maps didn't even get the first one right! BTW, Apple Maps doesn't get the phone # right either, but it did get the city and country right so I guess that's ok.
Perhaps someone here can tell me how to upgrade back to 5.1.1. I did backup my iPad with iTunes 10.7, is that sufficient to restore it to 5.1.1 until Apple fixes their bugs?

IOS6 WIFI bug, still not work now, exhausted,help...

Been like this a week now, tried every possiable way still not any help at all, it can connect the wifi, internet works for 1or 2 minuts then will faile again, changed one router and tried all different settings as still not work, someone told me they don't have this problem they are using different router,maybe it's because IOS6 have sort of confict with some brand router? I am using TPlink, should I keep invest different router and try? Or should I wait for bug fixed?
Apple didn't give any suggestion to customer and time schedule for bug fixed, this is really **** me off...
I will try to visit apple store to check if they can change a new one with IOS5 for me.

They will not change you back to iOS 5. I asked.
I spent almost 1 week trying to resolve this. Reboot the ipad, reboot my router, delete the network, rejoin the network. Nothing seems to work. I called the Apple support, spent 2 days. After trying every single solution (that I've already done before calling.. duhhh)..
They told me to:
- Go to iTunes.Back up all your data, transfer all purchases to your computer. Of course when I tried to transfer all my purchases, they stuck for hours, then crash everything. I had to redo this 3 times. HOURS!!!
- Restore your iPad from your iTunes. It will erase everything in your iPad, then start fresh as new
- Turn off your iPad
- Turn off your router, give it 10-15 minutes, turn on your router
- Turn on your iPad, join the network
Even though finally it looks ok. I am still going to return this iPad and get a replacement. I just don't feel confident with the device anymore. I just bought my iPad less than 3 months, still got the box. The support told me I could swap my iPad, all I need is to see the Apple Genius. So I made appointment, otherwise the Genius won't see you.
I got tons of questions again from the Genius. He said it is my router problem. Basically, I have a crappy router that came from my internet provider. He said that since they opened the store, he only knew TWO people came in with WIFI issue. I told him, all my other devices connect just fine... but of course, they're "oranges" not Apple.
I thought I'll be getting my replacement right away, but no.. Genius had to place an order first, and they will call me again, and I have to make another appointment to pick it up. I wonder why they don't have one in stock. It's the NEW iPad!!! I hope they're not getting my replacement from some kinda refurbished factory.
This is my first purchase with Apple. So far it is not a pleasant experience.

Wacom Tablet Mapping Bug Only in Photoshop

I am using a Graphire Wireless Wacom Tablet on a Windows 7 PC at work. I installed the most recent drivers, and it works flawlessly in a duel monitor setup, and I have no trouble mapping it however I would like.
This is all great until I launch Adobe Photoshop (CS4). Upon launch of the program there is some kind of bug, and suddenly the mapping acts as if both displays were squished into only the primary display. I can toggle between displays, and instead of toggling between display 1, 2, and both, it toggles between the left and right half of the screen and the whole screen. The other monitor is still functioning normally, only the mapping of the tablet is effected, and as soon as I close Photoshop, it reverts back to normal.
I did find one posting with the same problem, but it was resolved my installing the updated drivers, which I already have, and the discussion was closed. Any help I can get would be great.

Wacom has per-appliation settings, and somewhere you've changed the tablet mapping for Photoshop.
Photoshop does not know about the tablet mapping, only the Wacom driver knows about and controls the tablet mapping.
Check the Wacom control panel/preferences. If you can't figure it out, contact Wacom technical support.

After updating IOS6, Maps got serious issue. It is not showing any destination or route. When we can have google map or a map where we can use as GPS???

Hi,
I have updated IOS6 yesterday, It was amaizing but I have lost Maps. Earlier it was very easy to access on Maps as a GPS device. I was very much happy with iPhone 4S as it was working with Maps very fast and was able to provide me correct route but after this updates, I lost the maps and their stuff. I think you really need to provide us new patch which make Maps in correct usable task.
We really need GPS device to find locations, earlier it was very good but not this updated map is seriously not good.
Thank you

This is more of a Google issue. When they browse to Google's page that you link to, Google detects the mobile device and redirects to their "Mobile" version of their site. Their mobile version of their site doesn't have all the features of their full blown site.
This isn't about the iPhone but rather Google opting to detect a mobile device (not just an iPhone) and redirect to a different version of their site.
Contact Google and ask when they are going to add MyMaps support to their mobile device pages.

Has anyone noticed this V-Drums mapping bug in Drum Designer?

Hi guys
There seems to be a bug in the v-drums mapping for Drum Designer... wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
On standard Roland V-Drums kits, the toms are mapped as follows:
High tom: C2
Low tom: A1
Floor tom: G1
On some of the Drum designer kits, such as "Neo Soul" and "Retro Rock", the above tom mapping works correctly.
However, for other kits, such as "SoCal" and "Roots Kit", the low tom is played when either the low tom (A1) or the floor tom (G1) is played on the V-Drums kit.
It appears that for some reason, there are some kits such as the two mentioned above, that are mapped incorrectly so that the same low tom sound is played when the drummer is either hitting the low tom or the floor tom. I am using a standard Roland TD12 kit.
I've raised this as a bug using Apple's "Logic Feedback" page - hopefully they will check it out soon!
Cheers,
Mike

There are 2 work arounds for this situation.
- edit the midi note sent by the module to set it to F1 (kit - inst - F4 - F5 - note number)
- insert a midi transformer between your Roland module and the drummer track in logic's midi environnement window
The second option is more tricky but it opens up a whole word of other tranformations which are worth exploring.
HTH

Updated to IOS6, maps doesn't work

So I updates my software to ios6, was really looking forward to it as iv waited months like so may others and its terrible.
My maps doesn't work at all, the location is completely wrong and when I switch to hybrid or satellite view it just goes into black grids and doesn't come on, when I do get a picture in an area miles away from me it's black and white, I understand it only came out today and there will be glitches but the new maps is one of the main things in the update so I expected that to be up to scratch, also my keypad is forever freezing since iv updated.
In all honesty I'm actually really disappointed in the update and if I'd have know I'd have stuck with ios5, the colour scheme was a lot better in the old version to, just wondering if anyone else has came across the map problem?

im having the same trouble funny how they never mentioned this before we updated i wasnt expecting the 3d flyover view to work on iphone 4 because of the lack of appropiate processing power but i wasnt expecting to lose the hybrid or satellite view all im left with is the basic mapping view
cmon apple fix it or at least let us have google maps back as an option

Problem with IOS6 maps
