IPhone Map Rendering

Hello,
I'm with building a map application for iPhone, and I wanted to ask what the best way is for bringing maps from a website onto the iPhone.
I want to fetch small images of size 80x80 and show them. This kind of activity might be achieved by using UIKit or OpenGL ES.
Also if you can bring to my notice some kind of achievement and guides for this thing, I would be really very thankful.

Ask on the Developer forum, this is a user to user support forum for end user problems.
But I will give you a hint, use a frame that can display HTML and just fetch the HTML page from the server. Let the server have all the complexity and keep the client simple.
With OS3.0 you can use the map frame of the maps application in any of your applications.

  • IPhone maps favourites does not open the location

    Hello ,
    I have problem with iPhone maps i hope some one can help me.
    I have saved many places at favourites under different names. Now when I select one of these location the maps does not go to location , its like only searching by the saved name as its the location name.
    Is there a way to get them back ?
    or I can get the coordinates from these favourite ?
    thank you

    Sinuosalice,
    If you open an email with an attachment in Mail, there should be a rectangle with a dashed line border and an arrow pointing down. This means you can download it - to do that, just tap it.
    Instead, if it's already downloaded, there will be a bar on the screen with the name of the attachment, icon for the type of file, size, and an arrow (>) on the right. Tap the bar to open the attachment.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • Can the iphone maps display more than one pin at the same time?

    For example, on a recent trip to New York I preloaded bookmarks of all the places I wanted to visit into the iPhone Maps. I then wanted to see where they all were in relation to one another so I could decide which one to go to next (MOMA, Guggenheim, Metroplitan Museum of Art for example). Is it possible to have the map display them all at the same time?

    Are you sure about that Andrew. I see no option to toggle on all my bookmarked pins. I can pick one to show and it shows up. But if I pick another, the previous one will go away. Only doing a search for stuff in an area will Google Maps show multiple pins, but I see no way of making all your saved bookmarks show up.
    Did it on mine just now but I also did a very small location here in Sacramento. Dropped a pin in 1 city, Bookmarked, Dropped a few others and bookmarked at least 6 cities in the general Sacramento area, zoomed out just a bit and saw 6 red Pins. Which are all bookmarked.
    If I could snap a photo of my screen I would post it.

  • HT4061 How do I refresh the Find My iPhone map now that they have "upgraded" the product? There is no longer a refresh button.

    Until this week there was a button next to the device identification that allowed you to refresh the Find My iPhone map.  That button is now gone and I cannot see a way to refresh the map without exiting and reentering Find My iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    You need to go to the part where you see your device on the map and then there is a little refresh button next to the name of your device on the map page.

  • Location search problem with iPhone map

    I am posting this to see if anybody else have the same problem, and hopeful a solution as well.
    The problem is that iPhone map started from a 3ird party software does not use my current location by default. For example, I did a search for pizza in google search. The google app will give me a list of local pizza places in their page. But if I click on show all results, it brings up the map app and displays a few pizza places around the world. But shouldn't it give me results in my local area instead? At first, I thought this is a google problem. But I see the same problem later with another voice search app. Have anyone experience this with their iPhone?
    Thanks in advance to any insight on this.

    I've already done it.
    Do you think this will help?
    I doubt that Apple will listen to us. Users with a problem that occurs quite a lot.

  • Secure map rendering and the tile server

    Hi all,
    The demos for secure map rendering that I've seen e.g. mapviewer.ear/web.war/demo/secure-mapping.html involve sending an XML map request directly to mapviewer, and they work OK.
    However when I use a MVMapView JavaScript object and just pull back map tiles (no FOI), I see clear_user() being called but not set_user(). In other words my tiles are not being built securely. I don't see anything in the debug listing the values of cookies. Before I dig any deeper is secure map rendering expected to work with the tile server? Does the tile server know in such a case not to cache the tiles since one user's tile may contain different information than another user's view of the same tile?
    When pulling back FOIs with a MVMapView I do see debug info about the values of cookies, and the username is stated correctly in the debug. But still set_user() is not called! I'm sure that at least FOIs should be queried securely???
    BTW this is MapViewer 11gR1.
    Thanks
    Al

    Currently users and roles are not used when rendering tiles.

  • Secure Map Rendering on Javabean based API

    Hi,
    I need to apply secure mapping functionality using Mapviewer’s JavaBean based API. I’ve created a secure data source by adding the plsql_package="web_user_info" statement on the data source definition. For testing purposes I’ve used mvdemo data set and followed the steps of Secure Map Rendering Demo. I created "web_user_info" package on mvdemo schema as well as a view on CUSTOMERS table (create or replace view customers_view as select * from customers where account_mgr = web_user_info.get_user) and a geometry theme: mycystomers on that view.
    I also added the appropriate authenticated web users to the OC4J container(e.g. alex) and assigned them the "users" role.
    Finally I included the relative path of JSP Demo (with mapclient lib) that resides at http://server:port/mapviewer/demo/mapinit.jsp to the <security-constraint> element of web.xml file so that the data source can get the web user name from J2EE user:
    <!-- For Secure Map Rendering demos only -->
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Secure mapping demo page</web-resource-name>
    <description>MapViewer secure map rendering demo</description>     
         <url-pattern>/demo/secure-mapping.html</url-pattern>
         <url-pattern>/demo/mapinit.jsp</url-pattern>
         <url-pattern>/demo/map.jsp</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
    <role-name>secure_maps_role</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
    </security-constraint>
    After authenticating to the http://server:port/mapviewer/demo/mapinit.jsp JSP demo through mapviewer's login page that was automatically generated because of the security-constraint, I filled in the required fields asking for base map: demo_map. I also modified "demo_map" by adding "mycustomers" theme to it. Unlike Oracle Maps Map Rendering Demo (http://server:port/mapviewer/demo/secure-mapping.html) that displays only those customers that belong to the authenticated user, the generated map does not display any customer data at all.
    Does Secure Map Rendering Demo apply just for the Oracle Maps Javascript API and the XML API or is there any other parameter that I’m missing and needs to be configured in order for it to run for the JavaBean based API as well?
    Any help on the above matter would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The reason the JSP files did not show the secured customers, is because while you authenticated to the J2EE server when accessing these JSP files, the JSP file themselves did not authenticate to the J2EE server. In other words, there are two sessions involved. One session is between your browser and the J2EE server, which contains the authenticated user ID. This session is initiated when you try to open the mapinit.jsp page.
    The other session is established when the JSP page (map.jsp) opens a new HTTP Connection to the server to send the XML map request generated from various JavaBean API calls. To be more specific, when the JSP page invokes MapViewer.run(), this method internally gathers all the themes/basemaps you have added to the client handle, then constructs a single XML map request out of these pieces of information. It then opens a HTTP connection back to the same server to send the XML doc to mapviewer for processing. The problem is that to the J2EE server this is a new session (initiated by map.jsp), and it does not contain any authentication info.
    Because currently the JavaBean API does not support setting a cookie or user credential directly on its internal Http connections, there seems to be no easy work around for this issue for now. Please contact us offline if you would like to open an enhancement request.
    Thanks

  • I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    I used my iPhone maps it works very well. Is there an application for the iPad that could be used on a boat?

    Indeed :-)
    This forum is riddled with questions by users that cannot get their computer to do what they want, *despite* the fact they use a very precise and (usually) unambiguous method of telling it want they want it to do -- a programming language. Making it comprehend *natural* language is, by any way of measuring, a number of degrees more difficult.
    That said: in what way would a computer program (advanced or "dumb") be able to help the OP? Spell check is one -- but it's not a *fact* that anything written *badly* equals nonsense. In politics, for example, the most eloquent speakers still manage to make a fool of themselves :D The same goes for "grammar". Of course, bad grammar is more difficult to understand -- EVEN for a human. So a computer is bound to fail on that as well.
    Fact checking then? I usually can't even find what I want in one go with Almighty Google (which seems to turn things around: if it cannot find "enough" web pages with the exact phrase you asked it, it automatically assumes you are interested in synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and other *unrelated* stuff! Yeah THANK you but I want to find what I typed in!)
    A good starting point would be to define in more detail what this hypothetical software *ought* to do -- that needs to be a bit more concrete than "I want it to do my job for me."

  • How to fix an incorrect address in iPhone maps

    My customers are getting very frustrated because iPhone maps takes them 7 miles away from my business to another town.
    I have reported the problem MANY times on the iPhone to no avail.
    My correct business address is: Wash 'N Wags Pet Grooming 4735 Lake Michigan Drive NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49534
    Please let me know what I need to do in order to make this correction.
    Thanks,
    Ray

    There are so many people that have the problem of reporting issues that never get fixed. It is amazing a company with so many resources, can't follow a process of:
    acknowledging receipt of a reported issue (via automated mail)
    have a team that investigates whether genuine
    have a team that finds out what causing problem and have it rectified
    I understand that Apple may get numerous requests, but it is no excuse. They should do better. 1 person should be able to fix 100's of issues a day. As an Apple shareholder, and someone who has reported a pin misplacement virtually everyday since Apple maps was loaded on the iphone I find it disgusting. I just hope that Apple pulls it's finger out, and starts getting stuff fixed.

  • Trying to restore the software locks up the iphone and renders it unusable

    Trying to restore the software locks up the iphone and renders it unusable

    Thanks for your reply.
    When connected to the PC the screen on the phone showed the apple logo and stayed frozen with that image. The only way to get rid of the image was to hold both the power and home buttons. The message on the iTunes app said: iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone. I left it like that overnight, but there was no change in the morning. Took it to the Telstra Shop in Melbourne, and they tested and said it was 'broken'. They gave me a new phone, but I had to recover all my contacts, agenda, etc from backup on the PC.

  • Iphone maps 3g "transit directions could not be found between these locations"

    RE: iphone maps 3g "transit directions could not be found between these locations"
    My kitten (Mr. Kitty or Mister K Star), who I had just adopted from the SPCA (died on August 14, 2011) -- which has really put my mental state all over the kitten place (shopping, in a car, in public ...) ... I only had the poor guy for one month and he died of pneumonia.
    Me driving in my vehicle has not been the same.
    EXAMPLE:
    I was driving in my car yesterday. And then today, I realized I could not get from point A to point B on my iphone G3. Well, I called AT & T and explained my situation. The guy ( AT & T rep ) told me that the "Maps" feature got bought out and it does not work. I thought to myself, "That's F-ing stupid." That will pee off infinite Apple iPhone users.  Expressed, "I have been using Google Maps on my iPhone 3G ever since I got it." Asked, "are any other iPhone customers calling in having the same issues?"
    Of course, I'm smart. I took a screen shot ("transit directions could not be found between these locations"). I was too busy to even notice that the icons at the top were on the "Bus" image. Duhhhhh. Only thing I can say, is ... that when I am driving in my car ... I'm multi-tasking. Some where in my drive (adventure), I accidentally touched the "Bus" icon like an idiot.
    Therefore, when I tried to get one simple answer to help with my problem when dialing 611, the people (at AT & T) could not even provide a correct one just reading from a manual while on the job.
    Luckily, my screen shot helped me out. It was the only way to go online and find this post from 2009. Then I had to re-look at my screen shot to even see that my "Bus" image was highlighted. So I just put the icon back onto the "Car."
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2001991?start=0&tstart=0
    >^.^<
    Next time my weird self drives in my car, I need to remember, "Look at the top icons. Make sure it's on the 'car' and not the freakin' 'Bus' icon. LOL!!!!!"
    Out of the past years I've had this phone, I can't wait to buy a new G5 this year.

    Hi Katakiii,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you do not find your business location when you do a search in Maps, you can report the issue within the app.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:

    If you're unable to find your location, try the following:
    Ensure that Location Services is enabled. Tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    For Maps to find and track your location, both Locations Services and Maps must be set to On.
    Restart your device.
    Verify that cellular data or Wi-Fi is enabled.
    If traffic is not properly displayed, verify that the Traffic setting is enabled. Tap Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and confirm Traffic is set to On.If Maps fails to display results, results are incorrect, locations are missing, or you experience any other issue while using Maps, you can report the issue:
    Tap Overview, then tap the lower-right corner of the display.
    Tap Report a Problem.
    Choose the appropriate issue description and follow the onscreen instructions.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Find My iPhone Map Display

    Within the past two weeks, the Find My iPhone map display has been divided into blocks separated by multiple grid lines.  This results in inaccurate locations for the device.  How do you resolve this issue?

    I've tried setting it to both; standard results in dots appearing over a blank background. Setting it to hybrid shows them on the satellite image, but with no street signs. Basically, for some reason, nothing from the map will display.

  • Is your home missing from iPhone maps? Add it!

    maps.google.com and the iPhone maps use completely different backend databases. Hence what is in one is not always in the other. If your location is suddenly missing from the iPhone map app (like my home was), then Google says to report it to the map data vendor so they can map it out. maps.google.com is NavTek and mobile google is TeleAtlas. Google swapped out the backend DB about a month back, so a lot of previously-there areas disappeared when this happened.
    http://mapfeedback.teleatlas.com
    As an aside, the developer for the maps app that I spoke with thought that adding a map feedback form within the iPhone was a good idea, so maybe some future update will streamline this update-requesting interface.

    I have a gmail account where all my work emails are forwarded when I'm out of the office, so I associated my @work email to @gmail on the Gmail website. Then I setup the @gmail account as IMAP on the iPhone, using the following:
    +Name: Name+
    +Address: @work address+
    +_Incoming Mail Server_+
    +Host Name: imap.gmail.com+
    +UserName: @gmail address+
    +Password: Password+
    +_Outgoing Mail Server:_+
    +Host Name: smtp.gmail.com+
    +UserName: @gmail address+
    +Password: Password+
    When you send an e-mail it will appear as @work for recipients using web-based servers. The only problem is that if your recipient uses Outlook 2003 or 2007, they will see the from e-mail as "@gmail on behalf of @work".
