Will Google Maps be coming out as an app? I''ll be glad to pay for it.

Will Google Maps be coming out as a paid app? I currently have iO5, but don't want to change until it does.

Google's Eric Schmidt has said they are not. However, you'd really have to take the matter up with Google.

  • Disappointed with maps, will google maps be available in the App Store?

    I was really looking forward to the new maps but am very disappointed. Don't get me wrong the 3D maps are great, but so far in the UK I can only find London with this function.
    But this isn't my gripe. It's the view in standard mode, none of the road types have different colours so navigation is much more difficult. On google maps the motorways are blue, major A roads green and so on. All the roads are the same colour on apple maps so motorways look the same as a roads etc. Is this likely to change?
    If not will google maps be available in the App Store any time soon? Or is there a free/cheap map app that is as good as google maps? I can use google maps in safari but its nowhere near as intuitive :-(
    I know the OS is only new, but they've been making a song and dance about this maps and I find it a big disappointing. I don't even like the colour scheme, oceans and rivers etc are shocking blue.

    If you go to google.com and view maps on the full site then there is a pop-up that asks if you would like to add the mobile app version to your home screen. This puts the google maps app on your phone. It is web based and at least on my phone is slow to load up but the resolution is what you were used to before the update.

  • I had to cancel a payment that kept coming out my bank, I had no idea what it was for as it was monthly and I never signed up to anything, now my Apple ID is disabled, how can I unlock this?

    If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    For the auto-renewing subscription, there are instructions on this page for managing and stopping them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

  • HT4623 This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use it

    This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use now!!! I'm very upset! Think about canceling my iPhone 5 order! This is terrible!

    Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!
    Are you over your little tantrum now?  Do you want help you would like to continue to act like a toddler?
    If you want help, try telling us what happens when trying to send pics.  Any errors?
    If you want to whine... go somewhere else.

  • My lightning to usb charging wire is breaking, will apple replace it as it is general ware or do I need to pay for a new one?

    My lightning to usb charging wire is breaking, will apple replace it as it is general ware or do I need to pay for a new one? The wire came with my Iphone 5 and I have had it since the release date.

    I agree with you that Apple should cover it, and that if they're initially unwilling to, then a complaint should be raised.  However, the poster remarked that he went to an Apple store, Apple diagnosed the problem as being faulty RAM, and then the poster said that he has to pay $200 for "a new one" (new RAM, I presume).  No matter what you or I say on here, if the representative that the poster spoke to brought up a $200 charge, then what is he going to do?  "Some users on the internet told me it should be free, so I'm not going to pay that - just fix it for free"?
    Or maybe I'm having trouble following what happened.  It seems to me that if the poster went to an Apple store and had a system that was within warranty, if Apple found a problem, they would replace it for free.  In that case, where did the poster get the number for the $200 charge, and why is it even necessary to ask if it's covered?  Either he encountered an Apple Genius who didn't handle the case properly, or there's more to the story that he's not revealing (water damage, or so on).

  • When will Google maps be available in Croatian App store?

    Just wondering when Google Maps will be available in the Croatian App store?

    No way to know unless Google announces.

  • Will Google Maps Return?

    I am wondering if Google Maps will be restored to iPhone 5? Can I install it as an app on the iPhone? Many of my friends rely on it. I don't use mapping software very often on a phone, but when I do, I prefer Google.
    Thanks
    Bob Cochran

    Mr. Cook has already suggested using at as a webclip, why would he care if it came back as an app?
    But the big question is would Google bring it back as an app? Or keep it to themselves as a selling point for Android phones?
    Incidentally, have you tried Live Street View?

  • When will google maps app available for Turkish users?

    Maps on İOS 6 is very bad for Turkish users because i couldn't find any of my location which i want to find regularly. But Google maps better than Apple maps. When will we reach the google maps app in Turkish Apple Store?

    Google maps available in US. Why Apple dont put this app all over the world store?
    Apple doesn't have anything to do with Google Maps, Google does, as its their product & they decide where its available.

  • Open google maps, youtube, video etc links with app instead of browser?

    According to the search maps and youtube won't ask if you want to use an app to open the links because google doesn't see firefox as a mobile browser (which is weird given that it will always load the mobile youtube site...)
    But the same thing happens when I want to watch streams from other websites. Instead of asking me if I want to open media files using an app it will automatically use the built in player. But I want to open media with a different player (mx player) as I don't really like the firefox player.
    How can I have firefox ask me to pick an app/browser to open certain things like google map links, youtube links, media file link (mp4 etc)?

    My biggest bugbear with the Play Store opening in the browser is that it's slower than the native app, so waiting for the page to load before given the option to launch the app isn't a lot of help. Would it be possible to have an option to automatically load such pages in the associated app? Perhaps when using the address bar icon it could ask "Do you want to do this automatically in future? Yes/No/No and don't ask again".

  • Solution found for T400 that will not shutdown after coming out of hibernatio​n or sleep mode

    I found out by removing the ThinkPad manager driver (not the ThinkPad power manager), this solves the problem when the T400 goes into Hibernation or standby/sleep mode, but does not completely shut down afterwards.
    Apparently there's some kind of conflict with Windows power manager version and Lenovo's ThinkPad manager driver.  I left the ThinkPad manager utility as is and that seems to work fine with Win7
    Hope this helps for those who have the same issue.

    Update:
    I had my laptop running on the AC adapter all day.
    Then I briefly unplugged it for 2 minutes to carry it to the conference room where I plugged it in again.
    Later I unplugged it to bring it back to my desk.
    As described in my original post, I was then unable to simply shut down my laptop - it did not shut down all the way, and I had to force it to turn off.
    I hope someone here can help me with this, it's a real pain in the neck...
    Thanks!

  • How long should a reasonable person expect their computer screen to last before a pixel drop out line appears? I have been asked to pay for a repair after 1 year and 19 days!!

    A thin coloured line appeared on my i-Mac screen and I have been asked to pay £139 to have it repaired. This was reduced by the manager of the Sheffield store from c£300!!
    The computer is 1 year and 19 days old but the warranty period is 1 year. I was uanable to bring the machine in earlier but the problem was there 2 weeks ago within the warranty period. Still no joy from the store as I had not reported it before the 12 months!!
    What with Time Capsule back-up issues I an beginning to lose faith in Apple.
    Surely a reasonable person could expect the machine to be repaired FOC as a goodwill gesture?

    Not after the warranty has expired.  Apple has no obligation to do so.

  • North Cyprus is not covered in new IOS6 Maps application. I regret to upgrate to IOS6 my iphone4s as I lost google maps. When will it upgrated? What is my warranty?

    . I regret to upgrate to IOS6 my iphone4s as I lost google maps. When will it upgrated? What is my warranty?

    Your warranty is for hardware defects and does not apply to your area not being covered fully in the Maps app. Apple reports that they are working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be fully usable, take a look at some alternatives:
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

    MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

    Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

    Waze is another very well reviewed app.
