If you used your old applications in iOS 6, then you may have realized that the Google Maps used by them has been replaced by the maps available in iOS 6 Maps. This change was normal, it was done automatically during the installation of the operating system and it destroys the functionality of many iOS applications. If in Google Maps you could use those applications to locate some POIs, or to calculate a route to a destination, now with iOS 6 Maps most of the locations are non-existent, the POIs have disappeared and a localization is not efficient.
A few days ago I was trying to locate myself using a taxi application, but what iOS 6 Maps showed me did not encourage me to make an order, considering that the information it provided did not really match what I saw around me. Developers have complained about this change, Apple probably allows them to use Google Maps in applications, but Google has imposed some limitations on the use of its APIs, and those who upload Google maps many times a month have to pay, so a free application will become ineffective after a while.
This change thought by Apple was not good, many applications are useless to me and I hope that the map system will be updated quickly.
fast = at least a few years. I don't know why many people don't understand this. I understood that this summer you dreamed that the apple maps would be miraculously updated, but if even now that you have seen them, you still hope....
Exactly... The worst map system is the one from iOS 6. In G Maps I can make my connections directly in 2 clicks and I have all the connections from one end to the other of London... With Apple Maps you waste time and you can get lost in space :)))) and if you want google maps in iOS 6, you don't have the same application as before
is it about star taxi???
Apple screwed up with the map system and they even apologized.. my question is how much it affected them!
OFF TOPIC. Does anyone know what the program that hides the ios update notifications was called. Thank you in advance.
@George. It is reflected in the value of apple shares on the stock market.
:)) interesting title in the article. I just hope it's ironic, not really serious. I would be disappointed with the person who wrote the article. The fact that the programming geniuses hardcoded the call of a program, which now no longer exists in ios6, this does not mean that maps has broken any functionality of any third party app, but only that the programmers were not able to update it in time dynamic call is useful (if Apple allows it).
