Map of Contact address problem

Tapping on an address in my Contacts takes me to Maps, but then gives me a "no search results found" message because it has added "United States" to the end of the address in the search box. (I'm in the UK). If I then delete this and tap Search it works fine and I get a map of the address.
Does anyone know how I can stop the iPhone assuming all my addresses are in the US? I have United Kingdom set as Region Format in International settings.
Thanks.

NickRich,
Which iPhone firmware are you running?
You can check by going to Settings -> General -> About.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

IMessage contact address problems

I am a little perplexed about how to set up iMessage correctly.
I have iMessage activated. My settings are that "I can be reached by iMessage" at my phone number and email. I "Start new conversations from" my email.
The first problem I have is when I talk to my girlfriend (she has an iPhone). I frequently have two different iMessage threads with her and it is very frustrating. In one thread, if I click on her Contact info it highlights her phone number. The other thread, it highlights her email. Its annoying to not keep everything in one unified thread. Is there anyway to do this? Is the problem on her end or my end?
Keeping the above problem in mind, I would also like to unify my iMessage with my iPad messaging. I get this to work sporatically, but I would like it if I could consistently see all my iMessage conversations in my iPad as if I were looking at my iPhone. My girlfriend also has an iPad (although she hasn't been using it for messaging) so I would like to be able to set up the same for her.
I just don't understand the need for separating iMessages into two threads depending on the address. It would seem to be easier for everyone if you just kept it unified based on the name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, did you ever fix this problem? I'm having the same issue.

(GPS) coordinates in Contacts interoperability problem with Maps

I have noticed that using lat/long coordinates works fine in Maps to search for addresses with nameless streets. The address can also be added to a contact. When trying to locate an address from Contacts a problem is that Contacts always add the country to the coordinates and Maps doesn't like that.
If I search for "59.871859,17.527034" in Maps, it takes me to a nameless road in Uppsala, Sweden. I can then add that address to a contact, and the address becomes "+59°52'18.69", +17°31'37.32". When I later press this address in Contacts it appends a seemingly random country to the address, so in my case the address becomes "+59°52'18.69", +17°31'37.32 United States", which Maps doesn't like. If I manually delete the country part in Maps and search again it works fine. The strange thing is that if I edit the address the country is set to Sweden.
Is there a way to have Contacts not add the country to the address it feeds to Maps?
I'm using 1.1.3 firmware in my 16G touch btw.

I forgot to mention that when I choose a destination it keeps saying Calculating route all the time. I waited about 15 minutesand it didn't calculate anything.

Why can't Siri locate contact addresses for map directions?

Having an issue with iphone 4s using Siri for locating addresses saved within contacts for map directions.
The problem is only evident on about half of the contacts so far.. the message i get is 'I couldn't find an address for .." even though the contact I asked for clearly has their address saved. I've doubled checked I've used the right address fields and seem fine.
I'm unable to distinguine the problem between the contacts where Siri works as it should and locate the address, and the ones it can't - including my home address.
Very frustating when I want directions in the car for driving and using hands free.
Any ideas guys?!

It seems to be a bug in the software. Other people have said it may have so something to do with siri not understanding UK postcodes properly. I don't really know but I seem to have found a solution, although cumbersome.
-Load up your contact from phonebook app
-Tap the address (apple maps should go straight to it)
-Double tap home and switch back to phonebook app
-Delete the address
-Diuble tap back into maps (the pin point should still be there)
-Press the little blue arrow on the pin
-Add to contacts > Existing contact
-Select contact
(Now this is the important bit)
-Tap edit then tap the right hand column off the address section in order to set it as home, work, etc.
-Done
Phew!!
It's long winded I know, but now I can just tell siri to get directions to so and so's home safely while driving without fiddling around tapping buttons.
Sort it out Apple. It should 'Just Work' outside of the US too you know.

1.3.5 update - lookup map from Contacts doesn't work for Sprint Nav or Google maps

Is anyone able to tap on a contact's address in order to launch Sprint Navigation? Or even Google Maps? In my case, Google maps alway navigates to *my* address, not the contact's address I tapped on.
Worse, my Pre hangs on the Sprint Nav splash screen when choosing that option -- similar to what others are noticing. I copied this from another forum, as it describes my problem as well:
I updated Default Applications to launch Sprint Navigation for addresses. It certainly launches from an open Contact, but locks up on the splash screen. It never displays a map (nor anything else), and the menu doesn't function. Completely unresponsive. If I launch the app stand-alone, it works fine, so Sprint Navigation doesn't seem to be broken. It just doesn't work launching from a contact address.
I've switched the default app back and forth between Google Maps and Sprint Navigation, and did a couple restarts to no avail.
Regards,
Paul
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Thanks for the feedback and link to confirm this issue. I confirmed what the other fellow wrote on that thread:
if you already have Sprint Nav open, then click the address is goes fine.
I also "fixed" the issue in which Google maps loaded but always went to *my* location. I fixed this by exorcising the unofficial Google Latitude version of Maps from my Pre.I picked up this version by following a hyperlink to the beta Latitude a number of days ago, and ever since it had replaced the regular G Maps. I was able to clear Latitude off my device by pointing the browser to maps.google.com to reload the original flavor.After that, I am able to properly launch G Maps from a contact's address field. Whew!
Regards,
Paul

Gmail contact addresses not syncing properly in iOS 4

Since updating my 3GS to iOS 4, I've noticed a change in the way contact addresses are entered: there is a separate field for each individual address component. The problem is that all my contact addresses are now populating the fields incorrectly. The street address line goes into the street address field okay, but then the city, state and zip all get put into the "city" field. If a contact has an address with two "street" lines, then the first goes into a "street" field correctly, but then the second "street" line goes into the "city" field, and the city, state and zip all go into the "state" field.
I use Google Sync to sync up my contacts with my Gmail account, and since address entries in Gmail are free-form, I wonder if this might be an issue with Apple parsing the address data incorrectly. It seems it's just spitting up the data into the fields using line breaks (which is quite clumsy, IMHO).
_Address in Gmail:_
12345 Sesame Street
New York, NY 10022
_Shows up in iPhone contacts as:_
Street: 12345 Sesame Street
City: New York, NY 10022
State:
Zip:
If I fix the address so each component is in the correct field on my iPhone, each address component displays on a separate line in Gmail, which looks ridiculous.
Example:
12345 Sesame Street
New York
NY
10022
Has anyone else experienced this issue with iOS 4? Is this an Apple bug or a Gmail bug?

You are not alone!
I use mobileme to sync my contacts data, as opposed to gmail... so I am unable to provide advice.
However a quick search on here shows that you are not the lone ranger:

Using map image in address book

I would like to use a map image of a persons address as their photo in address book. I have done this before but have forgotten how to do it again. I click on a contacts address and it takes me to the pre loaded map app on my ipod touch. I want to save that map image into the photo image for that contact. How is it done???

Pull up the Maps app and go to their addess
Take a screen shot and edit as necessary
In the contacts app tap Add Photo, or tap the existing photo. You can take a photo with the camera or use an existing photo.

BlackBerry Maps "Ignores" Some Addresses

On my Verizon BB Curve 8330, BB Maps cannot 'find' many of my contact addresses even though Google Maps *can*. When I try to get directions from my current location to one of these addresses, Maps 'searches' for the contact. However, rather than posting an error message (like "cannot find site"), it simply reverts back to the screen asking me to "Select End Location" again--as if I never did that step. I'm running BB 4.5.0 Core Applications, which seems to be current since the BB Desktop Manager never finds anything when I tell it to "check for updates". Is this a bug for which there is a known workaround? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

First, do a simple reboot on your device > With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Then, let's refresh the GPS:
On all model BlackBerrys, first make certain that you in an area of good signal coverage AND outside with a clear view of the sky in an open area of no tall buildings.
For GSM network devices, do this:
Click Options > Advanced > GPS > Menu > Refresh GPS.
Give it up to 10 minutes to refresh, and try 2-3 times in a row.

How to delete a contact from contacts/address book?

I have a contact I want to erase from my desktop Mac contacts/address book in OS X Mavericks but I cannot figure out how. I see no delete button. This contact is not on my iPhone (with iOS 7) and it's not shown at all if i log into icloud.com and check out my address book. It's messing up all my programs dependent on the contacts/address book.
THanks.

Looks like I have more problems than just that. There are TWO icloud accounts showing in contacts preferences even though I only have ONE. I cannot remove one of them. It says I should remove it from internet accounts. Internet accounts only has ONE icloud account.
Is Apple's software going down the tubes along with the hardware now?

I am trying to verify my email contact address with Apple. In the confirmation email I received, the link to verify is not active. This has been going on for over 2 weeks. They keep sending emails where I can't click on "VERIFY Now".

In case anyone else has this problem, it turns out that my email provider's software was stripping the link out before it got to my mailbox.

How to sync Google Apps contacts from ALL groups to Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book

I have some 4,000 contacts in my Google Apps account. I used to store all of them in Google's "My Contacts" category, but my iOS devices had huge performance issues searching through 4,000 contacts as I typed a name or phone number on the device. So I trimmed it down and only keep the 200 or so most often used contacts in the "My Contacts" folder. This works because iOS devices are only able to sync that one category of contacts.
However, I now want to sync my Google Apps contacts with Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book. I'd like it to sync ALL of the contacts, not just those 200 in "My Contacts".
Is this possible? I'm using Mountain Lion and Google Apps Premier.
I used to be able to achieve this using SpanningSync. But as of a couple weeks ago, SpanningSync has been permanently discontinued due to architectural changes with the sync engine in Mac OS X. I'm not aware of any other contacts synching tools that could do it.
I know that Address Book/Contacts won't be able to show my Google Apps categories--just a single long list of everyone. That's totally fine by me, as long as I can get all contacts in the Mac OS X application and only the My Contacts group on my iPhone and iPad.
Any and all guidance would be VERY much appreciated.

Unfortunately no, not at all. I've tried these boards which were obviously fruitless on this question. I've tried the Genius Bar. And I've tried other technical resources. I do not believe it's possible at this point.
"Little stuff" like this.... it's seemingly relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things, but can be real productivity killers when I have to go back and forth between Apple's Contacts software and the actual Google Apps/Gmail web UI. It's these little things that create quirks between Google Apps and Mac OS that almost make me want to return to Exchange. It's much more expensive and other than Outlook and Calendar/Mail/Contacts, there's no virtually no interoperability options on the Mac. But at least it's consistent and I know what will work and what won't.
On the other hand, I could also solve this problem by simply putting ALL of my contacts in my Google Apps account into the "My Contacts" folder. But that kinda defeats the purpose of having a "My Contacts" folder.
Sorry Steven--I wish I had a better update or a resource to point you to, but I'm at the end of the road on this one.
