+mikenjess Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 iPhone and iPad users; the Apple maps that have replaced Google Maps in the io6 upgrade yesterday are, well if you haven't seen them have a quick search. They leave a lot to be desired! The Groundspeak app seems to use them *argh* instead of Google Maps. Does anyone know a way around this? I'm sure there'll be a Google Maps app at some point. We use PQs on our Garmin for caching trips but you can't beat the iPhone & maps feature for spontaneous oh-go-on-then-let's-see-if-there-are-any-around-here moments. Thanks, Jess Quote Link to comment
+Lorri-Ann & Kev Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The only way would be to reinstall an early version from your itunes back up I think, Otherwise your stuck with it Quote Link to comment
+Gushoneybun Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 You can always open Safari, go to the Google Map website and see the Google maps that way. Quote Link to comment
+Matthew 7:7 Too Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Can't you roll back to IO5? Or do Apple dictate which operating system you have to use? Chris Quote Link to comment
+mikenjess Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 I *think* you can't go back once you have installed iOS 6. Hopefully some clever soul at Groundspeak will ensure we can use decent maps. I suspect they might take some persuading though, Apple maps don't seem to be as bad in the US as they are in many areas of the UK. Quote Link to comment
+Valeites Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 We've both upgraded to ios6 on the iPhone. The Geocaching app has updated as well. BUT, I'm still using Google maps! The app allows you to set Google maps as the default. Hopefully this well help; unless of course I don't understand your issue correctly! Quote Link to comment
+mikenjess Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Oh really? That's excellent news! Aren't I the stoopid one with baby brain? I will check it out. Thank you Valeites Jess Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 At least your app lets you select a map type all Android gets is 'Street or Satellite' Quote Link to comment
Rexetexer Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 .......... you can't beat the iPhone & maps feature for spontaneous oh-go-on-then-let's-see-if-there-are-any-around-here moments. You obviously haven't cached with a proper smart phone then Quote Link to comment
