IPhone iOS6 ditches google maps and with it streetview!! Grr

bmike

i could care less about facebook and twitter, but i do like the guided access options (i use my iPad with clients, and the kids can watch videos on it). there are other improvements under the hood as well - adding attachments to email, privacy options, broswer enhancements, do not disturb, etc. etc.

overall, so far solid.

I really like that I can now add images from the phone

Used maps turn by turn today. It was excellent.

Yeah the new pano camera is nice! This is across the road from my place on Saturday (just to rub it in)

I had to check your location in your profile as I could swear that the second pano you posted was taken in the UK.

Richard:
That is one of the most unpleasant photos I've ever seen, I'm also quite sure you're a very nice chap despite what a large portion of my brain keeps calling you

In any case, it appears you were holding your phone upside down, I've corrected it for the rest of us......

With regard to the maps, the app enables you to inform Apple of errors, have a look at this article, I went through a few things last night moving the pins around for bad locations, closed businesses etc. Its quite good.

Is it just me or does everyone have a problem rotating on the new maps, i find myself zooming in and out when i just simply want to rotate, its bugging me that its so difficult to use on the iphone4s

Pinch is zoom.

Rotate 2 fingers is spin

Slide 2 fingers is tilt.

Thankfully it's not just me, I find it best to use both thumbs, otherwise I'm just all over the shop!

hmm.
