Why is Maps so inaccurate?

I am searching for a medical emergency center on Mac in my town but Maps gives me an unrelated result from a different state in another part of the country!
I have also attached a screenshot for your reference.
I have my Mac Mini wifi on even though I have a hardwired internet connection(ethernet cable). Wifi is what Mac OS uses to determine location.

Hello Borris, I just checked-up & got same results as you.
Then entering "St. Joseph TX & I got this result:
You can also just type Collage Station TX, then 4401 Sh 6 S, this will locate the place too!

PI - Why Value Mapping only for little number of value?

Dear Experts,
I really want to know the reason why Value Mapping in PI is suitable if the number of values to be mapped is little.
Is it because it is stored in Memory Cache instead of Database table that make it less reliable?
or is it because it would be hard to maintain the value, because we should entry the value one by one manually which will make the entry process a tedious process?
If it is, what is the suitable way to do mapping in PI with large number of value?
Thank you,
Suwandi C.

Connected MDM and LDAP, but but now what? Why user mapping?

Hi Gurus,
In my last thread, I posted that I was not able to connect MDM with LDAP. I was finally able to.
My problem now is I have to define user mapping in SAP Portal for the MDM business iViews to work.
By connecting MDM and LDAP, I got the benefit that now the authentication and authorization is happening via LDAP.
But this does eliminate the need for user mapping. If this is the case then why the real benefit of using LDAP?
In this case this becomes worse as I need to know the user's LDAP Password which no body will share for sure.
Any ideas? I want to get rid off this user mapping stuff.
Warn Regards,
Karan

without knowing specifics of ur architecture, i can quickly point out two things:
1) LDAP is primarily used for authentication, true.
2) Portal User mapping should not be an issue if u already have portal tied up to the active directory or some kind of single sign on?
So portal knows the users who has logged it, polls the Active directory for authentication and Active directory logs into MDM with that users role.

Why does map data space on N900 is limited to 5.5 ...

Can anyone tell me the reason why there is a limit to the map data space on N900? Currently, I can only down load the map data (using Map Loader) up to 5.5 GBs even though I still have over 20 GBs left on my /home/user/Mydocs.
Thanks

1) Connect nokia n900 in the mass storage mode.
2) Open windows explorer and make sure you are able to view hidden files.
3) Go to the drive on n900 where the .qf and the qf (hidden) files are present.
4) Open both (I changed in both, make a copy if you are uncomfortable), replace the numeric value against "quota" with 8589934592 (for 8GB or whatever size u want), save and reboot n900 (remove the battery and replace to ensure the reboot is clean).
5) Reconnect in mass storage mode and voila your map loader will see the 8GB

Why Google maps is not on Egypt store ?

I searched App Store to download Google maps but it's not there. I got the link from a web page and when it tried to open the itunes store I was told that this app is not available for the Egyptian store ... why ???

Unless it can't be there due to restrictions by the Egyptian government then you will need to ask google - Apple can't distribute apps where there don't have licenses to do so (it's possible that it might appear over the next few days).
As an alternative you could access it via Safari (http://maps.google.com) , or try Nokia's maps app.

Google Maps review
The good: Map layers, turn-by-turn navigation, Street View, and offline access make Google Maps almost unbeatable.
The bad: No 3D city view.
The bottom line: With its impressive list of features and syncing of data across other devices, Google Maps is a must-have application for anyone running Android.
As far as mobile mapping goes, the newest version of Google Maps for Android offers one of the most robust experiences you can get. More than a simple piece of mapping software, this feature-fest offers turn-by-turn navigation, voice search, indoor mapping (select locations), public transportation information, Street View, and tons of other conveniences. Further, if you use Google Maps on your other devices while signed in to your Google account, your search history, Places, and custom maps sync seamlessly.
(Credit: Screenshot by Jaymar Cabebe/CNET)
When viewing a location, Google Maps lets you activate a variety of add-on layers offering information like traffic, terrain, transit lines, satellite images, and bicycle routes, among others. There's even a Wikipedia layer that plots out entries related to your location, which is great for curious travelers. If you've made any custom maps on your Google account, you can overlay those as well.
If the add-on layers aren't enough, Google Maps lets you zoom into satellite photos to get a close look at buildings and street details. You can even activate street view to get a ground-level look at areas that have coverage. Unfortunately, though, the Google Maps app does not come with 3D flyover images baked in. To get these highly detailed images, you'll have to download it's sister app Google Earth. Hopefully at some point, these two titles merge to offer a more streamlined user experience.
One of the most important aspects of Google Maps for Android is directions. The app lets you easily conduct a search for a destination with text or voice, so you can get directions for driving, public transit, walking, or even biking. You can read your route in list form or hit the arrow icon to activate voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation. While traveling you can even fire up alternate routes if you happen to run into traffic.

But Google Maps is a lot more than just a database of geographic information. The application offers other baked-in services like Offers for nearby deals, Local search powered by Google Places and Zagat, and Latitude for locating Google contacts on the map (with their permission, of course). These services in aggregate make for a complete mobile experience that is pretty hard to beat.
Google Maps for Android now lets you cache maps for access while offline. This is hugely useful for travelers who frequently find themselves in areas outside of their home mobile networks. The feature lets you pinch and drag to determine the area you want to cache, and it tells you how much memory the saved file will cost you.

Had it happen on my iphone 4 that I use as an ipod now and I did a complete restore and it fixed the problem. I did do the over the air update the first time and this time I did it by connecting to itunes.

Iphone 5s - why does maps show a route I've never requested?

I was recently searching on my maps for a location from one point to another and how long it would take to walk. The following day I go into maps and there on the screen are the driving directions from my home address to a place the other side of the country - which I didn't request or search for. Anyone else had the same thing happen? Does anyone know why it would happen? Could it be linked to a website I've looked at? Am completely baffled.

Initially, this sounds more of an environmental issue than a hardware.
A couple of things to ask..
Does the glitch only happen in your area? If you go for a drive 50 or 100kms away and use it in that area, does the location go off somewhere in that area too and put show you in a strange place after a period of time? Or does this issue seem to only happen in your area?
Also when it goes off to this other place, if you do nothing and just keep walking, running or what ever you are doing, does it eventually find you again in the correct location?
I'm wondering if you are a getting a conflict between the GPS location and the Cell Tower/WiFi locations when you are in a certain place and one overrides the other.

Why no maps for algeria?

i have nokia n8
iam from algeria
and i mouve always to tunisia
i use gps on n8 but ther is no mape for algeria and tunisia ..why ??? i have google maps but its work bu connection
and if ther is any maps to can add it to nokia maps then i can use it gps free without connection
openstreetmap is this work on nokia ???

I personally made a similar question on facebook discussions of Ovi by Nokia. I asked the same thing that when the map of Pakistan is going to be available through ovi suite. They replied that the Nokia team is aware. They will start working on it after they get sufficient data about road maps of Pakistan. So, you just have to wait for it..
here's that direct facebook link : http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=7213672274&topic=15825
And please every one, dont get too angry if nokia dosnt published any map yet. And if you talk about sales, Nokia's market is much more in India then Pakistan.
They even have their saperate Nokia company which is nokia India. They even support ovi music store. They create Nokia Mobiles them selves as made in India with a specific indian code. they also have managed ovi maps them selves with voice guidence.
If you wonder that Urdu voice guidance is available but not Pakistan's map. That's because urdu is also spoken in india.
So, we all should give some time to Nokia to work on it instead getting angry or change the whole phone, just bcuz of lack of Maps.
If you want it, get Google Maps.
And dont think i belong to india. I m also a Pakistani from its capital, Islamabad.
Even If in whole Pakistan, people stop using Nokia. Its still not gonna change its highest market. It would be just a minor loss.
And other part is that Nokia is best in Hardware. like camera, sound, flash web browser even better gaming with N900 than iphone 3gs .. who will change his phone just for lack of GPS.

Why are Map IDs landing in Project Map File, not All Maps, and with a .h extension

I am using the Tech Comm Ste 2, Adobe Robohelp 8.0.2.2 in Windows XP. I assign map IDs manually instead of using automap. I open the Edit Map IDs window. In the right column, under "Topic," I select the topic I want to map. I then click the icon below to open the Context-sensitive Properties for Help Topic window. I select the topic title, without the .htm, and copy it. Then, from the left column, I click the Map File dropdown list and select the HH file to which I want to map the help topic. I then click the icon at the bottom to open the Create/Edit Map ID window. In the first field, I paste the topic ID, and in the second field I enter the map ID I want to assign. Then I click OK.
Usually this places the topic in the correct HH file, highlighted in yellow until I select the topic from the list and then click Assign. For some reason, RH is not adding my topic to the HH file; instead it is adding it to the Project Map file. When I click OK, I get a blank window and the Assign button is disabled. My topic shows up in the Project Map File. The topic displays with the HH files and a .h extension has been added to it.
I can't delete these topics from the Project Map file. I can't assign them map IDs. And this seems to happen randomly. SOMETIMES I can map my topics, but I never know when I can do it and when one of them is going to land in the Project Map file.
Can anyone help?

Personally I've never had or heard of this issue. The fact that this appears to be random suggests that the MapFile dropdown may not be displaying the correct map file when you add or assign the mapid. Also check to ensure your project's source files are not located on a network drive as this can cause issues. If this continues perhaps you could give us an image of what you are seeing.

Why is Maps not updated in real time ?

I leave in Bordeaux, France. Despite my many feedback through the Maps app either on iOS or Mac no significant changes or improvment were made by Apple. The map of Bordeaux is wrong in many points. I always have to use Goggle maps or Waze for driving. Even a big bridge accross the river is missing. Some places names ames are wrong. Many POI are missing. As maps uses mostly the Yelp date base which is not very popular here in France, many palces are missing. Could Apple take this points seriously into account ? thx for reading
