anyways last weekend, i just realized that i used the so called Horrible apple maps to find a target and walmart nearby UC davis and some other stores in vacaville.

i kind of think people are blowing this a little bit out of proportion IMO.

 

There was also a big thing about apple not getting turn by turn.

 

wasnt included in the original contract from what ive read.

 

I think anything about the 3D stuff looking bad is blown out of proportion. Seriously who cares if a bridge looks all smashed up and what not. Everything around it still looks nice.

I think the only thing wrong is the POI. I have a couple friends who wanted to go to some restaurants and used the maps to search it and take them there, and they ended up in long beach instead of LA. It is somewhat user error as well though as you should know a general idea of where you wanna go, right?

Her status was about going to botegga louie. Its a restaurant in downtown LA and she ended up in long beach.

 

As I said...my father in LA for 3 months for work...he has been using apples maps and turn by turn and he says its been working just fine.

Another friend said the business was on the wrong side of the street...so he logged and corrected it.

Im sure in smaller non-metropolitan areas its probably not as good...but major cities are probably pretty decent.

 

whats funny about that is i downloaded google earth to see what it looked like on there.

looks just as bad IMO.

 

quick everyone leave, yummy is here!

 

apple maps seems to work fine in toronto.

 

it's serious enough to Apple that they changed their website's wording...

Tried using Apple Maps today to locate a friends address. Fail. Reported "No Results Found". Went to Google Maps on my desktop, found it without issue.

 

 

 

Maps has been working for good so far.

I just wish they would've just gave everyone that got a i5, an adapter too switch the old plug to allow the digital cable now.

 

Yea, they should have provided one since it is a significant change.

 

my friend who is a massive iphone/apple hater checking out my 5.

 

and?

not like that is a real reaction photo.

 

 

Was using Maps to navigate in yesterday's Oktoberfest festival in Manhattan... GPS is way off, so I had to orient myself based on the building pictures. I can only imagine what happens when you use the app as a navigation tool

 

So you guys pay the $25/yr for iTunes Match? Work well? I've been debating if I want to do it or not...

 

any idea when this will be available in stores? i know its 2-3 weeks if you order it onilne.

i'd rather just walk into apple and buy it in person.

 

They keep shipping to stores, you can try the Apple Store App and see if they show inventory for stores around you. I know they started doing that after the 4s release.

 

You can shop between 10pm-4am on the apple store and potentially choose in store pick up if they are getting a shipment.

 

I don't think I like this case... It's very slippery feeling

Holding my phone one handed feels like its gonna pop out ...

 

For the record, I'm not white.

 

You're not human either....

 

And you're not his friend....

 

Facebook check-in does not work for me. Location services are enabled and facebook is authorized to post... When I hit check in, no locations are displayed, I only have the option to add location. What could it be?

 

What do you mean by check in?

You can't do that in iOS. You gotta go into the FB app.

Or just add your location to a post, it's pretty much the same thing as checking in.

 

yes , in FB app, I go to check in, and it does not display names of places at all...

 

Strange

 

Yeah, my friends with iPhone4Ss were laughing at me yesterday. I was in Times Square...FB said there are no places in the area....with an option to add a place..

 

 

I went with this one. Should be here in a couple days.

 

We're AZ's real-life Harold and Kumar. So, sure we are.

 

Must be your phone because mine works fine.

 

when did you move to NYC?

because, surely you would not be saying that since your phone works fine in SF, it therefore must also work fine in NYC..

 

Cool let me know. Certainly more practical. Plus I can't use a case with mine.

 

Does Yelp check in work? or 4square?

 

reinstalled facebook for the 3rd time, it works now.. iOS6 is ggrreeeeaaaaat

 

See I told you it was his phone.

If a 4S in the same area works and a reinstall fixes it. And the app is iOS 6 and iPhone 5 compatible... Then yea, phone issue.
