Map app issue

3gs map app in 5.1.1 works great, 4S and ipad 2 With 6.1 map dont work trying to give direction from point A to Point B..it will be fix?
thanks

Good, glad it is working.
Just my $0.02 worth - relying on remote tracking to lock an iPhone after it goes missing is completely false security.  The time to put the passcode lock into effect is now, while you have control of the devie.  Once it is gone, by the time you log in and try to lock it, it may be far too late and someone will have had complete access to your device and all its content for some time.
According to the FBI, one of the greatest reasons for growing smartphone theft is identity theft and the content on the device, since theives know that statistically, most smartphones are not secured at all - wide open to them the minute they get their hands on them.  So, then they steal your identity, sell or use it, and sell or use your iPhone.  Doubly good payday for them.

  • Any word on a fix for the Maps App?

    Haven't wanted to update to new iOS because of maps... new update says nothing about fix for maps... have any of the initial Map App issues been resolved?

    The big difference is you are not google customer, you are google asset, the advertiser are their customer. Do I have to tell you more how google do their business? Wake up, all these freebies are there for a reason.
    I prefer Apple Maps anytime and it is getting better as we speak.
    Oh my, there is little more silly than someone who accuses another of being naive and in doing so, reveal there own naivety.
    You didn't know that Apple gathers as much usage data as Google? Really? How do you think they plan to make their maps better? Why do you think they want their own mapping app?
    Mapping is huge business and Apple wants some of that action for themselves. That AND Jobs stating that he wanted to go thermo-nuclear on Google are the primary reasons why Google Maps was replaced by Apple Maps.
    Of course Google Maps has a business model, of course they collect data on our usage. Who cares? For an amazing line of products that work 99% of the time for the entire world, it is a small price to pay. Besides, for the ultra paranoid, there are many ways to hide your true identity from Google. No so with the Apple phone and Apple apps!
    Perhaps I should remind you of this:
    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-03/apple-must-face-lawsuit-over-iphone-dat a-collection-claims-1-.html
    My primary point is that I am getting tired of Apple dictating what apps I can and cannot have! I am getting tired of Apple denying entry into the iTunes store, 3rd party apps that compete with their own. Even Google is stating that Apple may not allow Google Maps into the iDevice apps ecosystem.

    Make no mistake, it is Apple that is the villain in this situation.
    And this is no laughing matter for several reasons:
    1) Apple stocks have been on a steady decline since the announcement of the iPhone 5
    2) The FTC may investigate Apple's business practices once again because of the maps issue
    3) People ARE decided NOT to buy into Apple because of these problems
    Those in this forum that are quick to say, "get lost, go buy an Android" are not helping Apple. If you think that Apple can't die, you are really naive! Apple can become irrelevant quicker than you think.

  • Although I have been using Google Maps App in India for a while now (without any issues) but I still want to know if there are any plans for launching Turn by Turn Navigation under the OOTB Map App for iOS?

    It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.
    Cheers!

    No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

  • Please Help : Iphone 5 built in maps app blank issues

    My built in map application doesnt work. I see the blue dot updating my location, but doesnt show any maps. Just a blank screen. I can pull directions and turn by turn navigation. Everything works but the road/street maps is blank. Does anyone know a fix to this problem? Its soo weird its like after i updated to the new firmware it stopped working.

    Thanks PJL123, I honestly didn't even know that was available. I did it and it looked like all my apps were in that task bar. So, I cleared it and rebooted. Unfortunately the Maps App has the same issue. Thanks much for teh suggestion. I'm sure that memory was bogged down with all the apps in residence.

  • My maps app has suddenly gone BLANK, no longer displays anything but a creamy brown background and a blue dot, I've see other issues on other devices also, but not a single response from apple explaining how to resolve it.  Anyone else?

    Before I left for Thailand, I didn't have a single problem with my maps app, however on return, I've found that it no longer displays anything in the main map screen, hybrid and sattelite still show something (but aren't accurate), but in maps itself, all there is is a blank screen. This not only affects maps, but all my other programs that are obviously linked somehow to apple maps are now doing the same thing... Nike Running, iSmoothRun, Argus, all now show my route, but it's overlaid over a BLANK map area.
    Anyone see this? and know how to fix it?

    I've done soft and hard resets, power off resets, I've deleted the three apps that are associated with maps and reinstalled them, the only thing I haven't done is a full restore, which from other peoples experiences I've see hasn't fixed the issue. So, I've avoided that because I don't want the 7.0.5 update (my 5S is a China coded model)

  • Issues with iOS6.0.1 and the maps app.

    Hi!  After upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 on iPhone 4, I am no longer able to display traffic on the maps app.  My device with iOS 5.1.1, traffic still displays.  Is there a fix for this issue?  If not, how can I downgrade to iOS 5.1.1?  Thanks!

    Hey Chris, thanks for responding, in my above post I mentioned my troubleshooting:
    Since updating my iPhone 5S (T-Mobile) to both 8.0.1 and then 8.0.2 I've had more issues than I've ever had with any iOS in the past (with the exception of iPhone 4 running iOS 7, but clearly that is an older phone, not a 1 year old model like the 5S). Have tried resetting, powering off, etc too by the way.

  • Considering buying an iphone 5 but am concerned about the maps app. Is it truly an issue?

    Considering buying an iphone 5 but am concerned about the maps app. Is it truly an issue?

    Depends what you want the maps for.  The image quality of the satellite images is far better than google, the 3-D imagery is fantastic and very useful for me.  I do not use the maps app for finding routes so I can't comment on that.  For me, the only downside is that you cannot download imagery for offline use, though the app does cache imagery that you have viewed when online, so that is a partial fix.  As far as I am concerned, it is way better than anything else I have seen. 

  • How do I get other apps to switch to the actual Maps app instead of loading a webpage when I click on an address?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, I've noticed something irritating.  Although I never used Google Maps before, I don't mind using the Maps app now because it provides turn by turn directions.  Yes, I've heard the supposed horror stories, but the thing works fine for me.
    However, I have run into a significantly irritating issue.  Whenever I click on an address and it tells me it will launch the Maps app, it doesn't.  Instead, it launches a webpage with Google Maps, which are more than useless as they only provide a list of turns.  How can I get my iPhone to actually do what it is saying it will do and have it launch the Maps app instead?

    I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

  • Maps app not working on Network Users

    Maps app not working on network users on client machines?, is everyone having same issue?, Thanks in Advance

    Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. I assume we're talking about network users with home folders on a remote volume…
    The only thing I could do about it was to inform Apple…

  • Problem with Default Map App?

    So, I'm a big fan of this app, as it tells me when I need to leave to catch a bus (At least in theory, since it obviously can't take into account bus delays), but lately it's seemed to be getting my location wrong, or missing bus stops. It's been telling me to walk quite far to reach a stop when I'm standing next to one.
    Is anyone else having this issue..?

    The iPhone 3G includes a GPS receiver and has A-GPS or assisted GPS. The GPS acquisition is assisted by cell tower location services, and maps data is downloaded to the iPhone via internet access only - via an available wi-fi network or internet access via the cellular network. If you are in a location without cellular reception and without access to an available wi-fi network but have GPS reception, you would have a little blue dot on the Maps app indicating your position, but it wouldn't do you much good without being able to download maps data via the internet.
    Where were you in NY state? If there is significant cloud or tree cover, GPS reception can be limited or blocked. The same when around buildings and while inside certain building depending on the building structure.

  • Some app issues

    I have a problem with maps and an app.
    Maps seems to have the compass backwards.  It shows me facing east when I'm pointing west on the maps screen.  I did the compass calibration and it still shows the opposite direction.
    Also I did reset my phone back to factory default before the update landed.  I loaded a new weather app and it keeps crashing when trying to start.

    @Bneely1  - you are correct. This "bug" was discovered also by the test group.  The issue, as I believe you are seeing it, is that the North / South view is upside down. e.g., When you are in a car and using the "follow me" blue arrow, if you're travelling say North, the map appears upside down where by the  blue arrow is not going FORWARD. Is that what you mean?  But East / West appears correct?  Google NAVIGATION doesn't do this - you have the option to switch up and down directions still.
    This has been reported to Google - and you can also report it online to them. (the more of us that report it might get a faster fix.)
    Ok I was wondering how I missed this bug but I see how now, I only use the navigation software and I never even opened the map app.  I never got the use for both.
    Thanks Cody for clearing this up for me...

  • Map app not displaying correctly

    I recently downloaded the most recent os 8.1.3 on my iphone 4s. Now the map app (apple default) doesn't display correctly. I only see the grid and my location dot in standard view, no street names or lines, no details whatsoever. This is affecting any app that uses the apple default (Zillow, trulia, etc). My husband has the exact same iphone 4s and he has the most current os and his map app works fine. I'm thinking that I should try to reload the most current os but since it is the most current, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way since all message are "you have the most current version". I could also try to download just the most recent version of the map app but since it is a default, I don't know how. Any suggestions?

    Hi meedjmom,
    If you are having issues with your Maps application not displaying correctly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Maps App and memory cards

    Hi,
     The MAPS app, is incapable of finding adresses eventhough I copied said adress from the MAPS app onto my adress book. What is the matter with this app???
    Also I can't find a way to calculate an itinirary between two destinations other if one of the two is not necessaraly my PRESENT LOCATION. Is there a way to do it? And I never get multiple itiniraries wich is a problem when I know there is construction work on the most obvious itinirary.
    Furthermore, an adress or a phone numbre sent by email or text message is not identified by my phone as such so I cannot click on it to go directly to the MAPS app or the automaticaly dial the phone number.

    HOW DO I TRANSFER EXCESS DATA FROM MY BBZ10 MEMORY, TO THE MULTIMEDIA MEMORY CARD I ADDED TO MY BBZ10.
    NicolasCleroux, I asked above and you've yet to answer... what is this "excess data" you speak of?
    Please, scroll up, read and answer that, and then perhaps we can deal with that... What do you consider "excess" data?

    For some, Link is a problem on Mac and Windows. I've had some isues with it on my Win7 PC, but it does work after some fixing of issues in my firewall and proxy settings.

     WHEN I SAY "IDENTIFY" I MEAN THAT THE ADRESS OR PHONE NUMBER CANNOT BE CLICKED ON TO ACCESS DIRECTLY THE RELEVANT APP ( PHONE OR MAPS)
    Make sure those phone numbers are formatted properly to be recognized as a phone number or address.
    For instance, where I am, a phone number formatted as xxx-xxx-xxxx work and is "hot-linked" to dial the number.
    Similarly, with an address: 123 Street, city, St, Zip" will create a hot-linked address openable in BlackBerry Maps.
    I know in my own Address Book's contacts, i have several linked addresses which open in maps, and you will see them in a highlighted blue text if they are recognized as such.
    So, please give an example of how your phone numbers and addresses are formatted?

  • Maps App

    I couldn't find anyone else that has complained about these two problems although it seems unlikely that I am the only one that hates this. I am posting this in hopes that there is a fix out there or at least bring it to the attention of Apple.
    Here is the first problem.
    When I am using the Maps App and I want to get directions to an address, I go to directions, then enter the address and get my directions. The next thing that happens is that the map shows a blue line as the route I need to take. Of course, the map is upside down from the direction I am going so I hit the directional button to get the map oriented in the direction. Now it shows me as a blue dot going the correct way. Now if I need to know where to turn and it isn't on the map, I have to drag the map so that I can see the next turn but as soon as I touch the map to drag it, the directional feature turns off and the map spins backwards and MOVES so that I am going the wrong direction and am in a different position on the map. WHY!!!!!
    Why would the map not stay oriented the way it was? Once it spins I am back to trying to figure out left and right and trying to figure out where I am. Why can't I drag the map and have the directional feature still work and the map just drag without reorienting itself? This makes no sense and I can't for the life of me figure out how Apple thinks that works well.
    The second problem. In some cases, why are hwy numbers UNDER the yellow street lines? How am I supposed to read them UNDER the lines? And its not this way all the time. Only some hwy numbers are under, some are on top.

    It sounds like you need to direct your issues to Google since it sounds as if you are trying to use GoogleMaps as a car navigation system.
    It would probably be safer to buy one of the actual car navigation solutions in the App Store rather than mess with GoogleMaps while driving.

  • I haven't seen anything from Apple on the Maps App being only in Chinese after iOS5 upgrade. Does anyone know anything?

    This issue is all over the forums, and google claims they are addressing it with Apple, the developer of the Google Maps app.  However, still nothing has been done, the thousands of users that depend on this app to get around in China are desparate, and we hear nothing from Apple.
    Can anyone at Apple comment on this problem, or does anyone else know anything?

    BACK TO ENGLISH AND CHINESE LIKE BEFORE!!!
    YES APPLE OR/AND GOOGLE FIXED IT.
    now works with and without the VPN.
    THANKS!!!!!!
