HT5429 Poor quality and missing Street View from Apple Maps - any alternative?

Is it just me, or are other appalled by the poor quality and loss of key functions in the new Maps app. Newbury has replaced Gillingham Dorset!! It also has no Street View which I use when visiting unfamiliar places. Apple appears to be prioritising its own interests above those of the customer by releasing something greatly inferior and of poor quality. Also interested to know if people value "3D Flypast" when living outside London over the much more useful Streetview?
Does anyone know where we can go to get Streetview back? I found I can still use Google Maps which has been a relief, but it doesn't have Streetview.

Thanks Diavonex. Have tried this, but it doesn't have Streetview which I find really useful when driving somewhere unfamiliar. I used to be able to enter the postcode and see what the place looked like. I could also look at difficult junctions and other landmarks.

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.

I updated my software for my Iphone and my maps disapperead. New maps provided by Apple or of significantly worse quality than my previous Googke maps. How can I get my Google maps back?

This app does it well, including StreetView

How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6?

Since I upgraded to IOS 6, Google Maps has been replaced by a poorer Apple version that doesn't support public transport. I want Google maps back. How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6 or downgrade to IOS 5?
Thanks.

Google Maps has not yet or does not look like they are creating a standalone app at this time.
It is not easy to downgrade, not recommended by Apple, very involved in order to do that. Again, not recommended.
Use MapQuest for now if you are unhappy with Apple Maps. I was never happy with Google Maps, so I have been using MapQuest for a long time for all directions.

Problem installing GOOGLE MAPS

hey i am unable to install GOOGLE MAPS as i want to share my location through LATITUDE. . Again d SATELLITE VIEW is very poor in NOKIA MAPS for INDIA. .
djaghera
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OP is using N8 running Belle and unfortunately most "Google Maps" issues seem to be with users in India for some reason.
For most other users turning your Wifi ON (even if you arent using the WiFi connection) then run Google Maps seems to work.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Please Update "Find My Friends" to use Google Maps Again!

I use the Find My Friends app all the time. In the past, the app used Google Maps, but they changed it to use the Apple map. We know the debacle that was. I realise that with the new release of Google Maps it is a stand alone application, which now works with IOS 6, but could you please modify the settings in the Find My Friends app back to using Google Maps? As an alternative suggestion, could you have the application modified so users can select which map the app uses.

Sorry for my poor english . Same issue in pakistan... Apple maps not giving full direction on maps like a google maps.. Applce should give option to customer that they want to select map by self. beacuse apple maps to old and not working in worldwide. plz give option to everyone thay the choose maps by himself. and plz give option in find my friends app to choose google maps becoz applce maps not give right direction to locate frnds.

Google maps or Virtual Earth

Centigon has a nice new tool for integrating Google maps into Xcelsius - however it costs about $1K and it requires the expensive Google maps premier license. Anyone have ideas on other ways to use Google maps or Virtual Earth for showing data within Xcelsius? Thanks very much. User reaction is poor to my built in continent map with little hand placed icons over the countries in which we do business - can't blame them after using Google or Microsoft mapping products.

Are they looking for interactivity, or simply a better looking picture?
One suggestion I could offer is to use is XComponents. They are really a great free alternative:

I hope that helps!

Google Map Widget & IE8

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anybody else is having trouble with using the google map widget displaying in IE, and if so how have you resolved it.
I have just put together my first site for my wife (currently live on http://web.me.com/chris_payne) and have been testing it in all the browsers. Seems fine in Safari, Firefox & Chrome but IE is proving to be a painful experience!
I have considered not using the widget and just using google map code in an html widget - the only problem I have if I go this route is I can't work out how to get rid of the big speech bubble that appears on the map.
Really grateful for any help offered (and any feedback on the site, including how I can get it to perform better).
Thanks ever so, Chris
PS - I know the photos are bad quality, they will be improved before the site goes fully live!

The bubble appears when you click the red pin.
To get rid of the bubble, click the close box or click on an area of the map.

What is the best format to save in computer playback to match the quality of my camera ( MP4 1080p) - NTSC provides poor quality, MPEG2 files are too large?

I am editing video and would like to share these at the same quality and size as the original file - MP4 1080 film clips. I am downloading these files to Google, or to another network. Choices under computer viewing result in the following - NTSC provides poor quality and the MP2 1080 more than doubles the file size. Any better choices?

andreasa
What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
What is your camera? Can we assume your videos from the camera are AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second?) What is the bitrate and duration of the file?
What is your file size requirement for the export?
H.264.mp4 is a frequently used format used for uploads to various web sites. You can find that format in Premiere Elements in the Share or Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD (most often used) or Share or Publish+Share/Mobile Phones and Players.
Please explain what you mean when you mention NTSC versus MPEG2...I understand MPEG2.mpg or MPEG2.m2t, but what do you mean by NTSC.as an export format.
I will fine tune (customize the reply) with some more details as indicated.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used religiously no longer exist, but clicking on an address in a website now directs users to a poor Google Maps interface. I am surprised to see such a effortless update from a company squatting on the resources to make a change its customers are asking for.

Apple has documented an API to provide add-ons to the Maps app in the iOS 6 SDK, so that such add-ons are possible is absolutely not a guess that the capability is there. As to whether someone will indeed develop an add-on for any given transit system, that would be a guess, yes, but at a couple of companies at least have already announced plans to do so.
In select cities and areas - so now I'm going from being able to supply this information myself to either wait for someone to supply an app or write an app myself... This is not feature progression but feature regression. Adding transit times or a specific overlay should not have to be something you need to do through code via an API. So no dice... Your guess that we will see better transit information is just that - a guess, nothing else.
If you don't agree with that editorial, you are certainly free to do so. I provided the link as food for thought for those who have been questioning Apples' decision to drop Google's maps from iOS. Whether or not you agree with Brad's analysis or that of anyone else is up to you.
But on that central issue the editorial fails - it's is not the true tale of why Apple made their move and therefore useless even as "food for thought" (because it's guesswork).

MBP Retina FaceTime HD Camera has very poor quality and artifacts.

Hey guys, the camera on my 2012 MBP 15' Retina has ridiculously poor quality. After recieving it I had got major artifacting while using the camera for skype, facetime and Google+. Usually the artifacting would continue (many multi-colored horizontal lines across the screen of the camera) until finally the bars would disappear maybe one or two bars would remain, regardless it was usable. I noticed, however, the quality was attrocious, but I assumed it was just how it was supposed to be (very surprised for a $2300 laptop). Recently my friend purchased the same laptop, after looking at his FaceTime HD camera, I realized mine was simply an attrocious fluke, my camera had ridiculous blurring and grain and awful light sensing. I am still under warranty until November 23rd, 2013. What are your opinions on how to get this resolved?
Here are some pictures:

Call AppleCare which you should have done from day one.
After recieving it I had got major artifacting while using the camera
You had 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer. No questions asked!

Numbers/Address Book and Google Maps

I would love to integrate my spreadsheet of addresses or my Address Book with Google Maps.
Is this possible? Somehow?
I take a lot of trips across the country and don't always know when I will be driving by my friends. But if I had a map I could glance at to see where they all are, I would know that I could schedule a lunch with a friend halfway or something like that.
I have heard about MapPoint, but don't know if there is anything like this that is free/affordable/non-MS.
Thanks!

Integrating in Numbers would not be automatic. You'd have to format links to assign to each address.
I've seen plug-ins to use Google maps with Address Book. Try a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker for Address Book.
I think one of the features for Address Book in Leopard is integration with Google maps.

Flash 11.1.102.55 crashes IE8 on Google Maps / street view

Since the Flash update to 11.1.102.55 I have had repeated crashes of my 32 bit Windows XP SP3 system. They typically have happened in Internet Explorer 8, 32 bit version (updated with latest MS patches).
Sometimes the IE8 lock ups can be cleared by using task manager. About 30% of the time, a machine power down/ reset is the only solution -- the screen freezes (mouse won't move, clock stops, Ctrl-Alt-Del won't work).
The machine is a Lenovo Z61p with 3Gb available memory.
I have been able to repeat the crashes by going to Google maps.
Example:
1. Go to Google Maps
2. Look at Arlington National Cemetery in regular view
3. Move the "Street View" stick figure to one of the Panarama photo points. Screen with show photo view
4. In the shrunken lower right corner map view, expand the map view to cover half the screen.
Things may get dicy about now.
5. Try moving the stick figure on the map. OR try expanding the photo to full screen.
I get repeated lockup at this point.

Try using a different browser. I use Firefox which you can download from here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/
If you don't like the "Tabs On Top" layout, you can move them to below the location bar by simply right clicking a blank part of it and then click the menu items called "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently appear below. Other tab layout options can be found in this support article: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
There are no issues with Google Maps as far as I'm aware.

Google Map Issue in OBIEE - Subject area not getting associated

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to integrate Google map and OBIEE via mapviewer. We have done the following already -
1. Loaded World Sample data from Navteq.
2. Configured mapviewer source and added Google map as a tile layer with the API KEY.
3. Imported one layer (e.g. M_STATES_ABRV) in OBIEE and linked it with BI subject area (tried this step with importing other layers as well)
4. Added background map.
Now , in this step when we add the layer in the map, we select M_STATES_ABRV and change zoom levels. But Once we come back to main screen after Clicking OK, we see the background map is not associated with the subject area. Hence any map view report creation with this subject area fails.
We have the tried the same theme with Oracle Maps (internal type like WORLD MAP or DEMO MAP), it works fine. only Google Map gives this issue.
This was not expected. Please suggest what we missed. We tried with cache clear, tile delete and recreation, service restart almost everything .
We looked into other threads in this community, different oracle support documents - Doc ID 1485088.1,Doc ID 1346805.1 etc and in different internet blogs - where it's easy as child's play, but we are still out of luck.
OBIEE version - 11.1.1.7.140527
Environment- windows server 2008 R2
Please suggest.
Regards,
Krish

I have found the solution: You need to *select* zoom levels for the BI Layer. When a BI Layer is added to a background map, by default no zoom layers are selected. Once a zoom level is selected, the BI Layer will save.
