IOS6 - What is best free replacement for Google Maps?

I regret the day I upgraded to iOS6. I relied on the Google Maps app, things have never been the same since they removed it.
The Apple "equivalent" is a joke, so I have relying on various free map apps, but I have never found one that is as efficient and comprehensive as Google Maps.
Using Safari to go to the Google website is possible, but very cumbersome and still isn't the same.
So, I'm looking for recommendations on what I can freely download that gets me as close to the old Google Maps app as possible. - I want to be able to search by postcode, get directions (other than just from my current location), get streetview etc.
Thanks.

Google has its own maps app in the App Store (linked for you in the post above) and its been there for a while. If it doesn't do everything that you want it to do, bear in mind that Google developed the app for iDevices, not Apple. So if the app doesn't suit your needs, it's not on Apple - its on Google. Contact them and let them know that you find it to be unsatisfactory.

  • What are best free tools for a Oracle development DBA?

    Hi, I have been production dba for years. I am familiar with full cycle of database installation, configure,backup recovery, etc.
    Now my role is going to change to development dba soon. I have no problem to create instances. Then to the data modeling, data normalization, etc, what kind of tools I can use?
    Any good suggestions or documents you can provide?
    Thanks in advance.

    The only good tools for normalizing your database are you own intelligence, knowledge, and experience. A great place to feed your knowledge and borrow someone else's experience is in Ken Down's blog, The Database Programmer.
    As for PL/SQL development tools, try SDDM's older sister, SQL Developer.

  • What is the best free antivirus for mac ox iBookG4?

    Hi,what is the best free antivirus for mac ox iBookG4?

    While no one may be bothering to write exploits in PPC code any longer, at least for Flash, that doesn't mean that there aren't any still floating around. The following doesn't specifically mention PPC/Intel, but that doesn't mean there weren't critical vulnerabilities being exploited for PPC in 10.1.102.64. I wouldn't want to take the chance.
    Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-02.html
    And, from TenFourFox
    PowerPC plugins are unmaintained and insecure, and Mozilla is changing the plugin environment
    No major plugin is being maintained for Power Macs any more: Flash stopped updates with Flash 10.1.102.64 in November 2010, and QuickTime 7 for the PowerPC was decommissioned with the release of QuickTime 7.7 and OS X Lion in August 2011. (Tiger users have not had an update since QT 7.6.4 in September 2009.)
    Plugins have special access to the system. When they are instantiated by the browser, they run as if you were running any regular application, which is true even for out-of-process plugins (which were never available for 10.4Fx due to Tiger SDK limitations). Like any buggy or insecure application, they can be exploited or made to crash, and because the plugin runs within the browser, such methods can also be used to attack, spy upon or destabilize the browser as well. They have also been used to attack the network the computer is running on, and a well-crafted attack vector such as that example can run anywhere Flash does, including Power Macs. Because plugins load automatically by default when the page calls for them, your system could be exploited before you even notice.
    Many of these attacks can be mitigated, though not entirely prevented, by the use of add-ons that can block plugins from loading. However, there is still another problem apart from security: Mozilla is changing the environment and the technical requirements for how plugins interact with the system. These technical requirements are difficult to achieve with Mac OS X 10.4, and there are known graphical and compatibility bugs already. It is entirely possible that in the near future, extant PPC-compatible plugins will not function properly or at all.

  • What is the best free spywear for mac

    I was wondering what the best FREE spywear is for a mac
    Thanks

    My understanding is that traditional trenchcoats and low-brimmed hats are still the only way to go.  Its asking a bit much to get this for free, I think; try a thrift store.

    Good place to look for software:

    And for free alternatives to some popular software packages:

    (If you see an ad there for something called MacKeeper, ignore it and on no account install it - it is malware.)
    And there is of course also the App Store!

    The one that the majority of your friends have. If all your friends are using LiveProfile, it doesnt matter if some other app is better. If you're asking about an app to send SMSs, my favorite is Google Voice.

  • HT3211 What is best track pad for laptop pro

    What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

    Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.

    First try deleting Flash Player by carefully following the instructions on Adobe's website:

    Then install it again from this location only:

  • When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output?

    When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output? also what is the buss output? Thanks

    First part of the question I don't understand, so could you elaborate please?
    Second part: bus output is used for submixes, for example, let's say you want the same EQ to be applied to all guitars in the song, so instead of using same EQ plug-in on all guitar tracks, you feed the output from these tracks to a bus track and use the effect just once on this bus submix.

    I'm in almost full agreement with everything you've said except for the ************** sites part. Most current Mac malware comes from very ordinary and even top level sites these days. Flashback came from hundreds of main stream WordPress blog sites. The New York Times primary web site was spreading malware for 24 hours before it was discovered. Users can no longer feel confident of not being infected just because they avoid sketchy sites.
