Maps: Google Earth, google maps, google maps app...what's the difference?

I can't really figure out the difference between Google Earth, the maps app (google's) that comes on the iPhone, and the google maps that you can use in google (if this makes sense?). There are subtle differences in the way they LOOK...but are there any major differences I'm not seeing? Why would one have Google Earth, Google Maps, and the google apps (map), on their phone? Sorry if this is a really silly question...
Also, does anyone know if it's possible to view a map of a city and have it show ALL of your pins at once? For example, it would show a pin where my 6 friends live, my favorite 4 restaurants that I've labeled, and everyone in my contacts list etc.
Thanks for your patience and help!

Julian,
Thanks for the reply.
What I was getting at was the apparent inability to view multiple contacts as map pins on the iPhone maps app. For example, if I were a connoisseur of Indian restaurants, and had my favourites listed in my contacts, it would be great to see all of my faves on the map so I could choose which is closest.
Since I bought my iPhone in 2009 I have thought that maps on the iPhone are window dressing and could be so much better for social and business use.

  • What is the difference between copilot premium europe hd sat nav - offline gps navigation and copilot premium europe sat nav - offline gps navigation & maps

    The first one has HD in the name and the other one doesn't, but they cost the same so I was wondering what is the difference between these to applications and which is better for the iPhone 5s.

    There are several apps for this - Tomtom, Navigon are two that I can remember.
    The GPS does not need cell signal or wi-fi signal to find your position, it uses them ( when available) to get a position more quickly.
    The Maps app on iphone uses the internet to gain access to maps, so you would have to have access to the internet to use this app.
    Tomtom and similar Apps store maps on the iphone and do not need a connection in order to be used for navigation.

  • What's the difference between Application ID and Product ID for WP App?

    Anyone know what's the difference between the Application ID on Marketplace and the
    Product ID in WMAppManifest.xml?  Can I get the Application ID before I sumbit the app to Marketplace? Thank you.

    Hello the ApplicationID is the ProductID on the WMAppManifest.xml, when you create a new project, a generic
    ProductID is assigned to your app, and once you send your app to the store, the generic
    ProductID is replaced with a new one (which will be assigned permanently to your app
    unless you do a new App Submission, which means each update will have that same ID). AFAIK once your app is certified you'll get the ApplicationID, you can send it and publish it manually, so you could
    have the AppID before people start downloading the app.
    (if you need the AppID for testing IAP, you may want to try sending your App as a Beta version)
    I hope it helps
    Yassine,
    Now I think I understand them, thank you!

    iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

  • HT4009 I am now totally confused. One of your kind answers says maybe  I am purchasing an (IN-app). What is the difference in a free app and a in- app????, besides charging me $1.25  each time.

    What is the difference in a app marked free, and one that is an in-app??.. This is not explained by supports answer.  I do not download a free app with
    The knowledge I am required to pay for it. Down here in Texas, free means free. Some one out there explain in plain English why I have been charged $40.00
    In last six months for FREE apps.??

    A free app is free to download from the store. Some apps (both free and paid-for) then allow you to make in-app purchases within them e.g. to unlock extra features (items or levels in a game, extra features in other apps etc), to remove adverts (some free apps get money via adverts that are diaplayed in them, but you can sometimes pay to remove them).
    If you don't want to be able to make in-app purchases then you can turn them off on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off'.
    As most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users, not iTunes Support, we won't know why you have been charged $40 in the last six months. Have you looked at the purchase history on your account (Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes), or contacted iTunes Support ?

  • I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

    I exported an iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using the BURN app, burned it to a DVD and exported it to a USB flash drive. The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • What's the difference between mac app store, app store, iTunes store?

    what's the difference between mac app store, app store and whatever itunes stores out there?

    If you saying that the App Store on my phone and the App Store section of itunes on my computer are the same store,
    It is.
    could you please be kind enough to show me how to reach the 724 apps on my computer (just to look at, not to buy) that I get on my iPhone when I type: "chinese transla". 
    If I search the iTunes Store for "chinese translation", I get dozens of apps listed. Make sure you're searching the iTunes Store, not your library. The search box should say "search store". Also confirm that both your iPhone and iTunes on your computer are pointed to the same country's iTunes Store. Different countries' stores carry different items, so it's possible your computer is pointed to a different country's store. Look at the bottom of the iTunes window and make sure the round flag icon is the one for your country.
    Maybe the App Shopper has all the same apps that are on my phone?  I just looked, they say they have 1,000 apps.  Is this a safe site to buy from? 
    App Shopper is not a store. The only store you can buy iPhone apps from is the iTunes Store. App Shopper is just a compendium site that lists apps that are available in the iTunes Store. When you click to buy an app, you're taken to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • What is the difference between the App Store...

    Hello-
    There is  an App Store on my MacBook Pro and an App Store in iTunes.  What is the difference?  Are the Apps sole in the App Store on the MBP updated behind the scenes and are they the Apps you use for the iPhone?  Or are they just Apps for the MacBook Pro?
    TXS!

    There is no PM feature here. The forum is not a chat venue, rather a place to post technical questions related to the use of Apple products.
    Rarely would you get bullied except by a user who has not yet been chastized for doing so. You're supposed to be treated properly here.
    When a purchased app (free or paid) has an update posted you are notified. For the MAS the notification is through the App Store. Of iTunes it's via the iTunes application as well as by your iDevice's App Store app. Updates are typically free. Thereafter, the one sold will be the newly updated version. In this way one always gets the latest version of the software.
    Sorry, but I don't recall that I said software is not regularly updated. As for the applications included as part of OS X they are updated when the OS is updated.

  • What's the difference on StageWebview in Mobile and Desktop AIR apps?

    Hi,
    What's the difference between StageWebView in an AIR mobile and
    AIR desktop app? (AIR 3.9 SDK)
    I have the problem that in a StageWebView related feature is working and on mobile but not on desktop AIR apps.
    The feature lets users login into a website and post to the forum - on mobile it seems that the cookie/session is not found.
    What could be the reason for that?
    Any ideas welcome!

    I would recommend against using useNative = true in Windows, because that means the behaviour and presentation of the page is very unpredictable, since the user can have pretty much any version of IE from 6 to 11 and beyond. That's more than a decade worth of different (and some really old and buggy) versions of Internet Explorer. The embedded WebKit in AIR could use an update (it's a bit old), but it's still a lot better than the wild territory of native IE ;-). I'm glad the AIR team listened to us and in AIR 3.9 they gave us back the option to not use native IE in Windows (in some of the previous versions, such as AIR 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, only the IE engine was available to StageWebView, which forced me to use AIR 3.5 for Windows versions of my application, since the IE engine provided all sorts of problems).
    Anyway, I don't understand your post very well. First you say "is working and on mobile but not on desktop AIR apps". From that I get that your page is working on mobile but doesn't work properly on desktop, but then you say "on mobile it seems that the cookie/session is not found". That contradicts the other sentence, since now you're saying it doesn't work properly on mobile.
    Which one is true?

  • What is the difference between Photoshop Touch & Photoshop Express apps???

    What is the difference between Photoshop Touch & Photoshop Express apps???

    Thank you for your answer which is simple but accurate.  Photoshop Touch is a
    multi-functional editor and builder of graphics, and is capable of exporting its
    output to Photoshop CS5 for further refinements.  Like having Photoshop CS5 on
    your iPad.... quite wonderful.  While Photoshop Express is a simple digital
    photo editor that works for everyday camera work.  A very nice program.
    BTW... Adobe Customer Service had me on the phone for over an hour, on hold and
    off, and could not answer the question until they turned the phone call over to
    a Supervisor in Tech Level 2.  Very sad....
