Maps app is messed up

Anyone else noticed that the Maps app is messed up? The tiles are displayed in what seems like random order; almost like a puzzle. I've noticed this on my iPad, my iPhone and my wife's iPhone.
This is Bangkok. Note that the Chao Phraya River is in various segments. An iPad screenshot.
This is Asia. Note how Mongolia is south of SouthEast Asia. Thanon Chaeng Watthana, a street in Bangkok, is shown to be in northern Mongolia. An iPad screenshot.
Also Bangkok, but this is an iPhone screenshot.

Looks like Google has a server problem in Asia:

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.

IPad map app crashing

My ipad2 map app will not open

I restored my ipad as a new ipad deleted all the backups for the ipad from my itunes and then set it up as new and put all my photos and music and apps back the way they was and i havent really messed with the apps with maps in it but the crashing is still happening and its happening inside the settings app id love if someone could help me out its starting to get pretty annoying. Thanks.

When is the maps app going to be fixed?

The new Maps app powered by TomTom is horrible. It couldn't find a restaurant that my wife's google maps found on her iPhone 4S. Then it gave me directions to a friend's house; but tried to give us a shortcut off road through the woods. Really? I was in a car, not a 4-wheeler. Basically I no longer have a GPS on my phone. What a waste. I hope Apple realizes they messed up and will go back to the very reliable Google maps app.

Given that "will not charge you for going over your usage limit this month", why would you want it fixed? It sounds like you've been given a free upgrade to unlimited broadband!
More seriously, BT's systems are incredibly flaky, and I don't suppose anyone really knows when it'll be fixed.

Map App- Show Traffic Not Working

Hi Guys,
So I noticed over the holiday weekend, when I went into my Map Application to check the traffic in my area, the "show traffic" feature wasn't working. I clicked on the "show traffic" option and nothing changed. It was still the regular map graphic without the green, yellow and red lines. The I pressed "hide traffic" and of course, it looks like map. When I tired "show traffic" again, still no traffic lines. Do I have a bug in my Map App or does this sometimes happen? I haven't been able to get it work and it's going on 5 days now. In the past, I never had this problem before- it ALWAYS gave me the traffic and was usually pretty accurate. I depend on this to get around my area so it's a major bummer right now that it won't work. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I've tried syncing and my 3Gs is up to date with the latest software and app upgrades, etc.
Thanks so much!!!

that worked! duh! i guess i thought i DID restart my phone- but you know what? all my apps keep updating themselves because of the new iphone update so maybe like you said, when i downloaded an update to an app- it messed the "show traffic" up. glad this was an easy fix and thank you so much for your post! you're the best!!!!

Kiyuco BC Map App

Hi All
Happy new year and hope you all had a nice Christmas.
After much messing around with the maps module and efforst trying to customise it, i thought I would go and buy the Kiyuco map app. I have followed the videos and guidance a few times now and I can not seem to figure out where I am going wrong.
I have taken the page off the template and tested it and still cant seem to get it to function. Is anybody using this? I am pretty sure the web app works, and it is my lack of knowledge that is letting me down.
here is the page i have created
http://sunnyheatint01.6sm.co.uk/map-test-2
The below page is one that I had working but I wanted to be able to customise with pretty icons as requested by the customer.
http://sunnyheatint01.6sm.co.uk/dealer-locations
If anybody can see where it is I am going wrong please help me out!

Hi Jason
Just wanted to say thank you for the support. Having used the mapapp it has made my life easier, the customisation options have enabled me to add locations and markers without any issues.
I would highly reccommend the map app to anyone wanting a bit more control over the map without having to spend hours researching and reading how to set it all up, also the support is brilliant!
Once again, thanks for your help.
Kind Regards
Asad Ali

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. Please help

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

"Click here to download the latest map app..." here's what you need to do...

It looks like they're pushing out the googlemap -> Bing maps update to the palm pre handsets now. The process they've come up with is kind of flawed. It's probably best to just go to the app catalog & download the new map app directly. If you wait for them to push it to you, what happens is that once you start googlemap, instead of going to the map app, it shows a hyperlink text stating "click here to download the latest map app." Clicking that link will keep you in the googlemap app, but will display a webpage designed for a full-size browser experience. You will have *no* way to zoom in to see any of the text. It's all miniscule gibberish.
Here's what you need to do. Everything you need is on the left hand side. The first field is a drop down letting you pick your country. Then, there's a field where you enter in the phone number associated with your palm. Then there's a check box that you need to check indicating that you've read whatever gibberish was written on the left side. then you click the big grey button on the lower left.
It sends an sms message to you allowing you to link to the appropriate app download. like I said...it probably would've saved you effort to just go directly to the app catalog.

Using iPhone Maps App abroad

I should start by saying that I have no problems with Maps on my iPhone 3G.
In fact I seem to have a magic iPhone judging by the posts and questions elsewhere.
My iPhone, with data roaming turned off - wifi off - 3G off, and with only a very basic 2G network with O2 in rural Wales and with only 1 to 2 bars of signal, quickly uploads the Google maps to the highest resolution (less than 1 minute). And no, the maps were not already cached on my iPhone unless someone stole it, went the remote location, used the maps app, then sneakily returned the phone. Neither do I suffer from memory lapses, nor Alzheimer's (though my children might disagree).
My questions are;
1) does this (marvellous) service actually operate over a bog standard mobile network connection?
2) will it work as well anywhere in the world with a bog standard mobile network connection?
3) will it cost me 'roaming' minutes to use the Maps app abroad.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the info. I take it then that you don't need Wifi, Edge, or 3G for Maps to work which is good news, and contrary to many of the posts I have read.
Bog standard means 'basic' thought to be a corruption of 'box standard' as in 'vanilla', 'no frills' etc. Usually used in a slightly derogatory manner, as in "my kids have ended up in a 'bog standard' school".
Thanks again.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How can I update a location in the Apple Maps app?

The location across the road from my office building shows that a high school is there, but that is not the case. The high school has not been located across the road in over 20 years. I found this error when I was updating the location information in Google Places and thought to check the location accuracy in the Apple Maps app. How can I submit for a correction to the location info?

Apple has always included a way to "report a problem" in iOS 6 Maps, but because it does so in the context of Yelp local search information, it's not readily obvious that this button is for reporting map errors rather than just filing a grievance against a business or Yelp's data (below).
Might try here...

I bought an iPhone 5s in China and the maps app is different. When I go to the US will I be able to use Apple's native app or will I be stuck with this one?

So I wanted to ask a question that my googlefoo couldn't help me solve.
I bought an iphone at a reputable electronics market here in China and it is an AT&T model phone. I bought it at one of the grey market locations because they were sold out elsewhere. I contacted a friend at AT&T to make sure it is a legit AT&T model. The phone is great and everything works perfectly including maps. But maps are done by Autonavi here in China, not Apple. I downloaded the Mavericks update on my mac and tried some of the new maps features and they wouldn't work with my phone. That's okay since I live in China now but I'll be going back to the USA soon and I wonder what will happen. Will it update the app to Apple's native one or stay with Autonavi. Autonatvi does not have the flyover features and it is not robust in the USA.
Who can help me out here? Has anyone purchased a 5, 5c, or 5s in China and gone elsewhere? Did the maps app change?
Thank you
tl;dr my china iphone has autonavi for maps not apple, when I go to the usa will I get the native app?

I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport" it replies it cannot locate it)
I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
Perhaps iOS Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
Use Google Maps instead
BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!
