Paint map areas of real map and make distinction

Hi,
I want to make an area of a map from a JPG (see url for example):
http://www.meccg.net/netherlands/meccg/downloads/promomap.jpg
Now, I want the application I am building to be able to unravel in regions and break down the map regions into separate parts.
The application needs to know when the mouse is pointed on a region which region it is etc.
How can this be accomplished ?
Thanks,
Coen

Ho Coenosia,
I think you have two options.
1. Break the map up into pre-prepared sections, say 100 units x 100 units, and assign a mouse listener to each section, so when the mouse moves into a section (it could highlight itself?) and the user clicks in it, it opens.
2. Draw a square around the cursor so the cursor is in the centre and moves with the mouse. This is the more flexible option. The user could perhaps make the square smaller or bigger by using the mouse scroll wheel. Anyway, the user selects a map area and the exact size he wants and clicks.
Hope this has been helpful to you,
Hasman.

Maps on IOS 6, when we are getting real maps

When are we getting the real maps. Apple maps are useless . Now I need to buy a GPS ( I just sold one being excited by the new IOS 6 maps?).
I heard Mr. Cook is sorry, but sorry doesn't take me anywhere!.
Any substitutes for this map.
Thanks

When are we getting the real maps.
Nobody on this forum will know.

Black area showing in Maps

I'm getting a big squared black area near to where I live, so if I try to make a route that goes through that black area it just won't create it.
That black area dissapears when I zoom out a lot (almost showing the entire country) but it persists when I zoom in. I have also discovered that it shows in Hybrid and Satellite, but it doesn't show in Standard.
I've tried restarting the app, restarting iPad... and the problem is still there. This is happening since 1-2 months. I also have looked for info on the internet and found nothing similar to this, anyone knows what could it be or some solution? this is really frustrating
I uploaded a couple of screenshots so you can watch it, is the same area with different levels of zoom:

i think what you have found is a missing map in the system. Out of curiosity i is this Spain?
In any event, under the curled up tab in the bottom right should be a link to report this problem directly to apple maps. They don't know unless somebody tells them. I also note you are running 6.1 - the screen look somewhat different in 7.1.1 - but the maps are likely the same.
kinda makes you feel funny when where you live does not show up...

My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad

My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad. Like the downtown view and stuff. Please help.

What locations are you seeing these "problems"? If the satellite photos are older or not as clear, you may see some of what you describe. Take a look at one of the major cities and see if they are also appearing as you describe. Someplace like New York, London, Paris. Those are among the cities that seem to be updated most frequently.
Incidentally, the maps are web/cloud based and not contained within the maps app on your iPad, so regardless of the version of your app, you will still get the most current map available.

I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 running 10.7.5, does anyone know why it sounds like the fans are spinning really fast and loud. It's not like I'm using many applications at one time. Thank you.

Trying to see why the fans are spinning real loud and fast. I dont have a nearby Apple store to take it to and Bestbuy wants to overcharge you for a bunch of uncertified geek squad employees working on them. Any help? Thanks in advance.

How to make smal areas in a map clickalbe and adjustable for Flash..

I am trying to make a clickable map where you can click on
small areas and be linked to another page.... I can of course break
the map to 100 pieces and make 100 buttons and put them together...
But this is so time consuming and I am sure there is a more
convenience way to make a map clickable in small pieces... Any
ideas? Thanks for all suggestion...
PS: Probably, I should do this in a different program as
Firework then import to Flash...hmmm ???

Are you making this in Fireworks or Flash? In Fireworks, look
into using an Image Map. In Flash, you would need to make a
seperate button(either by hand or by scripting) for each clickable
spot.

How do I change the default map to one that works. Apple maps nearly killed me today in Leicester as it tried to take me down 2 pedestrian areas, 1 no entry and told me to do a u turn about 6 times at no u turn junctions.

Need to change default map on iphone. The default maps app is dangerous - it wanted to take me down pedestrian areas and through no entries whilst trying to navigate in Leicester. It needs to be removed from my phone as it is a hazard. I clicked on a link in an email and the maps app was opened and so I used it to navigate. Big mistake. This app is a serious hazard!

I don't really want to get into a long debate here, but just to put in some background info. I travel a lot in the uk and have done for many years. For the last couple of years I have used either Nav free or waze as sat nav maps on my iphone. Whilst there has been some errors, they have been useable - and of course you have to use your common sense whilst using them.
On this occasion someone emailed an address to me in Leicester. I wanted to drive from on point in Leicester to this address that has been emailed to me. I clicked on the address in the email and it defaulted to the apple maps and plotted a route. It was about 1 mile away and told me it would take about 8 mins.
This was the worse journey I have experienced with a 'sat nav' - it tried to take me through 2 pedestrian areas and 1 no entry in that short journey. Clearly I didn't go I. The pedestrian areas or turn into the one way. However, the apple. Aps persisted to try and make me take these route, and I. The process kept urging me to take a u turn where it was clearly sign posted that it was illegal to do so.
In the end, I pulled over and switched to Waze - it directed me straight to my destination without any errors.
The point is, I am not talking about a mistake in the middle of no where. This is a major city in the UK - and fairly central ie near the city centre.
Generally I love Apple products and don't knock them as a company.
The original question was genuine- can I change the default mapping app so that I don't end up using the apple maps app again. It was a disaster like nothing I have seen before.
I now know that the answer is no.
Apple clearly need to sort this out.

My country lacks of information about businesses and streets, to mention some. I want to provide my time for free to help populate this information and make Apple Maps useful in Costa Rica.

I love using Siri and your maps. But in Costa Rica, your maps lack of businesses data, and Siri is unable to provide any information about them, since this information is missing. I want to offer my time and work for free to help to populate this information in Costa Rica, starting by capital city San José. Google is much more advanced in the subjet, and I don´t see fair how complete this information is for United States and not the rest of the customers (not to make critic, just pinpointing a fact).
Who do I contact in order to make this offer?
Thank you so much in advance.
Frank

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to volunteering to help, you can report issues via the Report A Problem under the main menu in Maps:
Apple does not otherwise recruit users to assist with data correction, in part because they get the data from other companies. It's possible that there is no such compendium source of data for Costa Rica, at least one that Apple has yet been able to strike an agreement with.

Build in OWB and make map in AWM?

Hi all,
Would it be possible to design and deploy the dimensional objects (dims/cubes) using OWB and make a mapping to populate them using AWM? These are all MOLAP objects. The advantage of designing in OWB is the editor and e.g. the ability to add calculated measures in cubes using the wizard.
Just did a quick test. When deploying a MOLAP dimension from OWB, in AWM it shows the map with several OWB-generated views to populate the object. I don't want to use those since I don't want to build a map in OWB. I have a simple 1-to-1 view to populate the object in AWM. However, when removing the OWB views from the map in AWM and replacing it by my view, when applying the changes it comes back with an error:
An error occurred creating DimensionMapGroup D_DIM_EMPLOYEE_M.TOTAL.MAPGROUP1.DIMENSIONMAPGROUP : ***Error Occured in DELETE_MAPPING_GROUP: You provided extra input starting at '$'.
The error detail window shows:
oracle.AWXML.AWException: An error occurred creating DimensionMapGroup D_DIM_EMPLOYEE_M.TOTAL.MAPGROUP1.DIMENSIONMAPGROUP : ***Error Occured in DELETE_MAPPING_GROUP: You provided extra input starting at '$'.

If this doesn't work it's just another blow to our olap-in-oracle implementation plan.
Does anybody have experience with this issue?
Thanks,

You'd better make the reservation of Genius Bar and show them about your problem.

I am looking for a map app that will allow me to place pins where my clients offices are on a map and keep them save every time I open the app. Does anyone out there know of an app that will do this?

"Motion 5" is your friend.
Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.

After installing iOS6, my Maps are not working at all, anything i search it says "result not found" even after placing a pin and selecting "Direction to here" i get the same result not found. Very disappointed with the new iOS

Have you run it in a debugger? That will show you exactly what is happening and why.

IOS6 maps are useless, and other observations

Well Apple, I'm not sure what happened here - but it seems like you hired some engineers that must have been fired by Microsoft.
Seriously, your new map app is a COMPLETE JOKE, and is simply useless. Did you even bother to beta test it? Obviously if the product is THIS bad, it should still be in beta, and we should still be using Google Maps until you at least get Apple Maps *working*.
KEY ISSUES (and I know I'm not alone here)
1) Poor detail. Lack of street name.
2) Missing traffic data - you show RED bars only, while YELLOW is also very useful.
3) Crashes
4) Search feature does not spell check correctly or come up with similar local addresses like Google maps does. Frequently, Apple maps can't find an address at all.
5) Trip router is a JOKE. No way to skip freeways, and no transit inormation. Trip router will take the LONGEST WAY using freeways instead of a far shorter rout using surface streets.
6) Usability is lame - for instance, you do a search, then click the rouut trip button, and... the trip rout does not use the item you just searched for. If you want to update the rouut from your most currrent location, there is no edit button, and you have to cancel, and scroll into recents etc etc.
7) There is no separate tab vfor routed directions and searched.
8) S L O W
9) WRONG
Google Maps WAS the most used app on my iPhone next to Pandora. Now, MAPS is useless. By upgrading my iPhone to iOS6, I have degraded my iPhone and rempved some of it's most important

Hi,
You are here on a user-to-user message board and not in contact with apple representatives. If you have complains to do I suggest you do so through the feedback tool on apple.com

HT5429 How Can we reverse to google maps. Apple and Tom Tom maps are awful with plenty of mistakes and less details

How can we get back google maps as the default maps application.
Apple maps are just 5 years behind. Really awful and disappointing.

For now, it's easiest just to go to maps.google.com in Safari. It will automatically load the mobil version of thei site. Not the same as the old app, but at least you have access to the basic features.
You can even create an icon to add to your home screen.
I think Apple knows they've got a lot of work to do with Maps!
