I just wonder what goes on in these people’s heads, it’s true, they couldn’t give a toss, THEY don’t like Google so they took it away from us all. I cannot do any of this any more, the powers that decided what I needed as a customer were not important and therefore, they took my tools away from me! This makes my £650 tablet, worth well, about the same as a Blackberry Playbook which I owned prior to my iPad. When I used Google Maps, I would first enter my appointment on my laptop using my outlook calendar app, then that would be uploaded to my google account which would then send that info to all my devices, one of which was my iPad 3, using my iPad I would sit and watch the tv while using the link from a tap on the address of my appointment in Calendar which would open google maps, then I could plan my route from home and ap the pin to get the street view so that I could familiarise myself with the address. Instead of buying into the negative press (though some of the surrounding humor is quite funny), try it out yourself for a while and you’ll probably agree. ![]() After using Apple Maps quite a bit I have found it to be quite good, though it’s obviously still a work in progress for some regions. In the meantime, bookmark Google Maps to your home screen, check out Bing Maps as a replacement, and last but certainly not least, give Apple Maps a chance. This web-based solution is obviously temporary as Google is widely expected to release an independent iOS Maps app for iPhone and iPad, but there’s still no estimate on when it will arrive. That hardly matters though, because it’s full featured and has complete access to everything Google Maps does with all its detail, accuracy, and directions for cars, walking, public transit, and bikes. ![]() Now that you have added the Google Maps web app to your home screen, you can launch it like any other app, though it will load in the Safari web browser. Tap the arrow button to bring up the task menu, and choose “Add to Home Screen”.
