Old Google maps and satellite images :(

Has anybody else noticed that the Google maps and satellite images are out of date. Specifically, the map and satellite image at my location both show a hospital which has been GONE for more that 10 years!

Song, that doesn't always work. Glad yours does!
It depends on what servers Google is routing your through, where you live, what satellite towers your picking up, what towers you are connecting to, etc.
I can tell you, at this very moment, I am looking at my house online on Google maps, and on my iPhone, and they are different images. I don't know which is newer, which is older -- my pool cover is on in one photo, my pool cover is off in the other photo. They might be taken in the middle of the summer on two separate days -- they could be taken years apart.
Sometimes, I see the local Whole Food built about 4 years ago up the street from me. Sometimes it shows a construction site in that location.
But at this very moment, I am looking at two different maps. It has always been my experience that is the case - even with older Windows Mobile smartphones, and with a Blackberry. Sometimes the images match, and sometimes they do not. It clearly indicates different data bases that they are accessing.

How do I delete the old Google Maps applicaiton

I think I have a problem that many wish they had prior to google releasing an updated Maps application. I updated to iOS6 and got the new Apple Maps app, but still retained the Google Maps app as well. This is one of the kind of apps that can't be deleted, like SMS, Phone, etc.
I can move it around, and generally used to just stuff it away on the last page, but now I want to make an effort to remove it.
Looking at the file system, at the .ipa files, the built in .ipa's are not included. Anyone know where those are stored, so perhaps I could remove that, to see if it would remove it from my phone on next sync?
I did a backup and restore the other day, still no change. I did a backup, completely erased my phone to factory, then did a restore, which also didn't work. And finally, though I really didn't want to, I went ahead and erased my phone with the intention of rebuilding it from scratch, though the darn Maps app was still there, so just backed up a step and did a restore to my last backup point to save the hassle of setting up my phone from ground zero.
I have added two screen shots, one wiht my mouse selecting a normal app so you can see I get the "X" to delete icon on the app, and the other with the maps application selected so that you can see I DO NOT get the "X".
I filtered the left list to just the google ones, but have tried various other combinations such as "maps" to locate it, it is not in the list, just as "phone", "sms", and "mail" are not in the list.
Any help would be appreciated

Older versions of the SMS app I don't even believe we're called "SMS" but "Messages" though I could be wrong on that. There were differences in the SMS app regarding FaceTime. The current app has a button at the top that allows you to jump that conversation into FacrTime. Older versions didn't have that button as FaceTime was not released yet.
Yes, I can delete the new Google Maps App, it is an app I downloaded from the App Store. What I can't delete is the icon labeled Maps, which is also a google app, not a bookmark.
For the large majority of users of iPhones of compatable hardware, when they upgraded to iOS6 the Google maps application that was part of a default iPhone installation was deleted. In it's place was installed Apples debatably botched Maps application.
In my case, that didn't happen. I was left with both applications still intact. At first I didn't even understand why everyone was so upset with Apples Maps implementation. From my perspective, if they didn't like it they could simply use the Google Maps application they had been using all along. Then I started to see people asking where they could download the old Google Maps App and it started to make sense. Their system no longer had the app. They only had one choice, Apple 's Mapping app, while I still maintained both choices.
I'm looking for others who have experienced this and solved it. I've seen similar cases where different apps hang around longer than they should, but never found a solution. I assume over time enough users will report this to Apple and a software update will correct it. I however, would like to correct it now.

IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
into my site, now that MobileMe is gone??? I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks, Eric U

You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4. You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

Google Maps and Skyhook - doesn't work as expected; it works better!

Hello all and thanks for taking the time to read this.
I was under the impression that when you pressed the Locate button in the Google Maps application that the iPod took the MAC address of the WiFi Router it was connected to and then polled Skyhook's database to get the Lat and Long of that router. After this the Maps application would also download appropriate map images to display underneath. This is all well and good however today I noticed that without connecting to any router Maps was able to track my position as I walked down a residential road with only encrypted home WiFi connections available - none of which could actually provide me with an Internet connection. Whilst I can see that the iPod could obtain the MAC address of these routers as I walked past I'm at a loss as to explain how it managed to turn this into the Lat and Long which was being displayed as a blue circle. I know I hadn't connected on a free WiFi connection as the Map images didn't update.
Does anyone have any explaination?

Thanks for all the replies.
I went to watch mrs totes play a Netball match on Saturday, somewhere I've never taken the +iPod touch+ before. It could see two encrypted networks and pretty accurately determined my position. As you can see only a certain amount of cached map image data was available. The fact that it still found my position spoiled my only theory that the iPod might cache a local MAC/Lat/Long table.
Here are some images to illustrate:
I guess you are suggesting that it downloads and caches a table of a certain radius when you determine your location and have an Internet connection. Interesting. I'm driving to 40 miles to Bristol tomorrow once I get they I'll see if I can determine my position.
cheers

P.S. They won 31-16 and mrstotes was 'man' of the match.

Saving google map as static image

Is there a way to save the image of a location in google map
as static? is there any other way to do it?
Thanks in advance

not quite sure what you mean but technically if you want to
capture the image of
a google map use the static API:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/
and cf8's imageNew() or <cfImage action="read"> to
capture the map image &
imageWrite() or <cfImage action="write"> to write the
image file to your server.
legally, not sure this is OK w/google maps' TOS:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html
though i guess maybe if you were doing this to improve your
app's performance it
might be ok???

I enabled 3d in google maps, and it now crashes firefox everytime I open maps. HELP!!

I have a mac, and I was using google maps. I was trying to find the views of the actual buildings on the maps, and clicked on the 3D option in the lower left corner. That caused an immediate crash of firefox and has done so everytime I try to open google maps. The window isn't open long enough for me to try and unclick that option. Please tell me how to get my google maps back! thanks

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I couldn't tell which of the many cookies was the offender, so I had to clear them all...which I know is going to mean I lost some convenience, but it was worth it. For future reference, is there a way to know which cookie is causing the problem?

How to show Google Maps and Earth in a video.

I recently videoed my grandaughter's wedding but didnt get any footage suitable for the opening sequence.
There is a good shot of the church (in country Australia) on Google Maps & Earth so I though, for a background for the opening titles, I could zoom in from outer space on the church like you can zoom with Google Maps!
Is there a way anyone can think of a way of getting the pics directly other than putting my camera in front of the computer monitor screen?
Perhaps there is an app that can capture moving computer screens?
Google zoom goes in big steps. Once I had the frames of hundreds of jpg's, is there an effect to automatically get a smooth progression so it appears to zooms smoothly?
Manully resizing and adding intermediate frames sounds so lengthy that I might not live long enought to see the final result!

There are many applications to record screen activity. Some free, some not. Most commercial one will allow you to download a trial version (although probably limited in some way (e.g. maximum recordable time, or a banner).
The two most famous (probably) are the free CamStudio and the commercial Camtasia. Note that on the CamStudio page there is a Google link to the commercial product. The links for the free CamStudio are about 2/3 of the way down the page. Even Microsoft has a free offering - Expression Encoder (although it's not too clear if the free version captures screen activity).

any clue anyone???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Last I read, no BlackBerry Maps is not available in India
And the data source is actually TomTom, not Google Maps.
I'd recommend you use Google Maps, personally, they are a bit more flexible and feature-rich than BBMaps.

Quick office 7 pro, google maps and symbian anna u...

i am not able to install Quick office pro 7 after symbian anna update i am getting error "update error".
For google maps i am able to install, when i click the icon it doesnt open...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Phonehacker was right, should have done the hard reset first: here's the instructions i got from Quickoffice staff
On some devices the installation issue can be resolved with hard reset.
If you are willing to proceed a hard reset, here are the instructions:
1. Back up your phone memory as Nokia recommends at www.Nokia.com.
2. Reset your phone to factory default: At the main screen, enter *#7370# – The default lock code is 12345. This will restore the device to its original state, removing all user data, contacts,and third-party applications you may have installed.
3. Install Quickoffice 7.
Please reboot (turn off/on) your device when you complete the installation.
Verify that Quickoffice works by seeing if you can create a new document. To do this, open Quickoffice and select New Document.
You can also verify the version of Quickoffice that is installed by opening Quickoffice, selecting Options > About or Options > Help > About.
Once we know that Quickoffice 7 is working correctly, then please do these steps:
6. Restore the phone memory.
7. Reboot your device.
This did work for me just don't forget to backup everything!

HT5622 why does Find My iPhone via iCloud on my iMac use Google maps and not Apple maps?

when I use Find My iPhone through iCloud on my iMac, the app uses Google maps to display locations. Why? Shouldn't it use Apple maps?

thanks
I used Apple maps on my iPhone, iPad and iMac and prefer it over Google maps except for street view (which albeit has an annoying, difficult to use interface). In El Salvador, Apple maps was certainly more accurate than Google maps. I like Apple maps turn-by-turn navigation via my Sonata's sound system, quite nice

My ipad shows "no service" in upper left hand corner but I get google maps and itunes but I cant get to the ibook store

Why does my ipad show "no service" in upper left hand corner but I can get some service like google earth and itunes but I can't get to the ibook's store. Tap "books" does nothing. Thank you.

Try going to settings. Tap Reset, tap reset network connection, wait until the apple goes restart your iPad,. Back to setting tap provider and put in your network password.
