Maps direction of travel

I am using the "Maps" app and when I am viewing the map with the direction of travel in the "up" position, my device shows that my direction of travel does not align with the road that I am currently on. I have tried to calibrate the compass, but that usually only makes things worse. I am running an iPhone 5c, iOS 8.3.

Unfortunately, Google Maps does the same thing. I am currently using Waze because they align with the roads every time, but there are advertisements in that software. I tried to tap the blue/white arrow, but that just switches from the view I get to "North Up", and these phones have such a short area to the side that the navigation is pretty useless when they point that way.

Can Oticon streamer 1.4 play music or map directions?

I have a 4s iPhone and my wife has a new 5s. I have an Oticon hearing aid. Cannot get either phone to play music or map directions with the oticon streamer 1.4. Using iOS 7. And it worked ok a week ago, but not this week???!!!
Procedure I use: Get ready to pair by turning bluetooth off on phone. Make sure phone and streamer are close by. Pair by turning on streamer in the discover mode (rapid blinking blue light). On phone select bluetooth and turn it on. Observe that streamer shows up. Tap on phone the words that say streamer, and give it 20 seconds or so to get connected.
At this point phone calls in or out work ok with either device 4s or 5s phone. This is the HFP mode I believe.
Now, I want to use the map function on the phone to hear directions with my hearing aids when driving, so I want to enable the A2DP connection (according to what I read) by a short push of the "music" button on the streamer. When I do it, my hearing aids give a 'beep-BEEP" like they are now listening to bluetooth, and button blinks yellow. However, no sound comes from the map function, and I can find no icon that would allow to choose streamer as the output sound device. For testing purpose I also try playing music in the manner just described. Same story: no music plays and no way appears to choose output sound to streamer.
Called apple support and poor lady was clueless. Tried reading support discussions and found a lot such as:
iPhone 4 IOS 6.0.1, Oticon Streamer 1.4
Press phone on/off button until the "Slide to to power off" appears.
Press Phone button on Streamer for a few seconds until it stays on (green light)
At this point the Streamer should redial the last number called on the iPhone and the iPhone will display" Streamer 1.4" as the audio source.
Tried this and things happen as described, but it makes no difference to hearing music or map directions. Most comments suggest phone or bluetooth devices may be incompatible, but that does not seem to be my problem.
But what is going on? Driving me nuts. Help please anybody.

I also have had problems with my iPad. I rang Oticn tech support and they tell me although the Streamer can remember eight devices it can only have 4 connected at one time. So you have to switch off other devices. I think the smartphone count as two devices as also the ipad, I have the landline telephone connector which counts as one, I have a smartphone and an iPad, The iPad and the smartphone counts as two each which = four. My landline telephone connector will not work until I switch off either the iPad or smartphone
I have also spent a lot of time trying to sort this problem out and this is what I came up with I hope it's some help but not too confusing

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.

How to clear map directions

How to clear map directions?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, so I cleared bookmarks and recents. Directions still showed. Selected search, then back. No luck.
Then I selected a new destination. The old route then disappeared from the screen, finally.
The new destination pin was blue, the old one red. While I was not able to select the red pin and choose delete, the blue pin allows for deletion.
As to my second question, I am not finding how to turn off the GPS blue pulsing locator?

Get an error when accessing the entry from the Backing Map directly

Nokia E52 - downloading maps direct to the phone

Hello, i would ask if here is chance to download maps directly to the phone without using a PC. (through WiFi).
I have Ovi Maps appliaction v 3.04 , phone Nokia E52.
Thanks for answers.

@sladdy
Welcome to the forum!
There is nothing to stop you downloading directly the compressed .zip file for smaller region(s) from map servers directly upon your E52, decompressing it and moving the (16) folders 0 - 9 and a - f to their respective positions in E:\Cities\diskcache following the methods outlined by ovikovi here on the forum!
There is unfortunately no "Update" feature within Ovi Maps v3.04 as opposed to v3.06 for this purpose!
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

When do we get Map Directions in india for ios 6

when will map direction and search local places avaliable for india in ios 6.

Safari does not help, while driving, just like Google map used to. It won't help you to reach to your destination. I have seen multiple forums, everywhere it is recommended to use Web application for google map. I have tested it, it is not helpful for directions purpose, as you need to keep on clicking on present location.
I had tried to use Apple map while driving, it was not changing the location, as per the speed of car. Also location was almost 500 meter, as compared to actual location.
Apple maps are not updated as well. It seems to be atleast 2 years old data for India. I have checked multiple locations, every where data is not updated. Do we have any procedure to share this feedback with Apple,so that they should work on update the maps for India as well.

Rotate Movieclip depending on its direction its traveling?

hello, this is prolly a simple question..
but i need help making my arrow object rotate in the direction its traveling, since i have gravity on the object..
my arrow is called ArrowMC.
anyone?

This is my code to move the arrow and with gravity. with array
function UpdateArrow():void
    var TempEnemy:MovieClip;
    for (var ia:int =Arrows.length-1; ia>=0; ia--)
        TempEnemy = Arrows[ia];
     TempEnemy.x+=5;
        //start gravity + collision
        var vyT:Number = 0;
        var GravityT:Number = .5;
        vyT += GravityT;
        //GroundObject
        if (! GroundObject.hitTestPoint(TempEnemy.x,TempEnemy.y,true))
            TempEnemy.y += vyT;
        for (var i:int=0; i<10; i++)
            if (GroundObject.hitTestPoint(TempEnemy.x,TempEnemy.y,true))
                TempEnemy.y--;
                vyT = 0;
i want the arrow to start rotate down when it comes down to the ground with gravity...
i tryd TempEnemy.rotation = TempEnemy.direction..
this dosnt seem to work...

Will Google voice activated maps/direction ever be available on the 3G/3Gs?

Will Google voice activated maps/direction ever be available on the 3G/3Gs?

Depends on what the contracts look like with Google and Verizon...
There is some exclusivity to the OS updates for Droid that Verizon will have first crack at...meaning that for example the 2.0 OS was first given to Verizon's Droid device and other Android phones still have 1.6 and 2.0 won't be available to the other devices until December...
Future OS updates will also be released on Verizon Android phones first before they goto other devices...
So...it could be possible that the new work done by Google for the Maps is a Verizon only perk from their new partnership...

When iphone 5 maps DIRECTION in MIDDLE EAST ?

When iphone 5 maps DIRECTION in MIDDLE EAST ?

And France is in doubt, since it reportedly [requires phones to be sold both with and without contracts|http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/10/08/iphone-faces-unc ertain-future-in-france], and it is unlikely that Apple will release an unlocked phone at this time.

'' Prints only print'' never map directions on PC.

I have both a picture of printer on my bookmark bar. When I want to print the whole page exactly like it is......but the printer only printer the wording not the picture directions. I have printed receipes very good with both pic & directions. I have a Tosiba Chromebook laptop. I have changed all ink so that is not the problem. Also have not figured out how to get the HP appt?? thanks so much for your help.

Hello @mattesmom1,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having problems printing map directions from your Chromebook.
I would like to help.
A lot of map/direction sites are designed differently then a recipe site.
With a recipe, the images are on teh web page.
With the directions/map sites, the image is not static.
That is why often you can zoom in or out on the map.
On the Web page that you are trying to print from, there should be a print option.
This will be separate from the ones you normally use.
This will bring up a printer friendly version of the directions.
This should then print the image along with the written direction.
If I may, what site are you trying to print the map directions from?
Aardvark1

Need an Iphone app which saves my map directions

Hi guys,
I need to know a app which can help me save my map direction and routes offline on my iphone 3gs. Help !

Both Motion GPS Drive and Motion GPS do this. The Drive version lets you simulate the trip then all the maps are cached so you don't need data service to run the trip.
The Motion GPS app allows you to download maps and store them. All routes and tracks are saved.
Sounds like the Drive version might be more what you want though.
