Why Find My iPhone webpage uses Google Maps?

Hello everyone,
I remember Find My iPhone web edition uses the same Maps as mobile app. But I couldn't open Find My iPhone webpage because it uses Google Maps now. China blocked Google servers.
Anyone can confirm it?

I doubt they will switch any time soon considering the condition of Apple Maps on ios6 devices.

  • 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.

    Hello,
    This is what you have to use as an example
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Collins+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia&daddr=Elizabeth+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia
    h5. This is the from address
    Collins+Street,+Melbourne,+Victoria,+Australia

  • 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

  • Why do I get a "call ended" alert when using  Googles Maps through hands free Blue Tooth service in my car

    Why do I get a "call ended" alert after voice directions, when using Googles Maps App with my iPhone 5s paired to Bluetooth service in my GM auto

        Hello Snosilla! I'm so sorry for all the confusion and for all the time taken to activate service with us! I do see that the iPhone 5c is $99.99 right now. The iPhone 5s is actually $199.99. There's no need to call Pam anymore, we can take over from here.
    I've followed you in the forums. Please accept me, and follow me back. Then, send me a Direct Message and I can look into this for you. If you do not have an active line yet, I may need to get you through to our activations department, but I will do all I can!

  • Can I use Google Maps in iPhone application and charge for it?

    I'm looking to create a location-based application for the iphone that uses a map to display locations. I'd like to use a UIWebView to display Google Maps using their javascript API which shows a map hosted on my web site.
    When my app is finished, can I charge for it in the App Store, or will this be a violation of the Google Maps API Terms of Use?
    Are there any other non-free iPhone apps that embed Google Maps?
    Thanks, Scott

    My interpretation of the following:
    Google Maps API Terms of Service wrote:
    The API may be used only for services that are generally accessible to consumers without charge. Accordingly, You may not use the API for any service that requires a subscription or other restricted access, or for which a fee is charged.
    ... is that there's no way you can charge for an app that uses the API.

  • I set up "Find My Iphone App" using the same apple id and password on two iphones. Now the app only finds the phone that I did the setup on first. Do I need a different apple id and password on each phone for the app to run correctly?

    I setup two iphones on "Find My Iphone App" Using the same apple id on each phone. Now the app finds only the phone I setup first. Do I need to use two different apple ids? If your answer is yes then how do I errase the setup in the second phone and assign a new id?

    As TJBUSMC1973 states, and as I said earlier, the Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with your use of Find My iPhone. The app is just used if necessary to locate another iOS device from that particular iOS device. To see if both of your devices are being located in Find My iPhone, log into www.icloud.com and select Find My iPhone. Both of the devices should appear. If they do not, then go into whichever of the devices does not appear and make sure that Find My iPhone is activated. It has to be activated through iCloud, and for both to show on the same map, they both have to have the same iCloud ID.

  • Trying to add exact spot in places, using Google Maps L/L, but places wont

    trying to add exact spot in places, using Google Maps L/L, but places wont find it, just get the spinning circle all the time.
    Ive found it exactly in Google maps, and it gives me a long number but I type into my add new place, and it just hangs there till I cancel it.
    Anyone help me please?
    cheers

    Thanks I just thought that if Im tagging Geo manually, it would be easier to find in google maps in Safari, then copy and paste it in my places.
    So you can only sort f manually do it be finding places, dragging the pin to where you want?
    Suppose it ok this way, was just hoping I could be super accurate.
    cheers

  • Stop phone from dimming when using Google Maps

    I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I was wondering if there was a way to stop my iPhone from dimmer while using Google Maps?

    Turn tracking mode on by tapping the blue button at the lower left. That will center your map on your current location. As you move around, iPhone updates your location, adjusting the map so that the location indicator remains in the center of the screen. The screen will remain on so long as you remain in tracking mode.

  • Using Google Maps Street View on My MacBook Pro

    Recently, I have been getting "Plug-In Missing" in the place of a video in a blog post. Also, when I try to use Street View in Google Maps I get a box that tells me I need to install Adobe Flash Player 10 or later to be able to use Street View. Should I try to download and install Adobe Flash Player? What could I use to be able to use Google Maps Street View and/or to play videos?

    I found my reply elsewhere - you have to uncheck "contacts" and then recheck it. Kinda idiotic, but there you have it!

  • Is there a way to roll back ios6? I upgraded before I knew about the new mapping. I used google maps all the time and absolutely hate the new one. Just about everything I've looked for is wrong or missing.

    I hate the mapping in IOS6. Is there a way to roll back to the older OS? When I upgraded I didn't know about the mapping change. I used google maps a lot, for a variety of things. In just a few searches I've found more errors or missing landmarks than anything else. I really hate this app!

    I agree. How can I roll back to the previous OS? Developers, please post a procedure for reverting.
