iOS 6 |OT| New Maps? googy pls

hmmm. how compelling is google street view? cuz you lose that and google does not yet have a maps app in the app store.



Not. I just thought I read some impassioned post somewhere about how iOS 6 had some pretty iffy compromises, but I don't use my iPad for Maps much at all, and the Youtube app is apparently already up on the app store.
 
Not from a beta build. 5.1.1 to the Public release sure.

Just tested the panorama feature, it works really well actually, auto stabilises photos and had no visible seams in the composite photo.

I wasn't expecting panorama mode to make it to the 4S but it did. it's super cool. very easy to use. i like the arrow that needs to stay on the line so you keep the phone level.
 
So what are the steps to just upgrade with the ipw?

Download ipsw. In iTunes (prob should upgrade to newest version), go to your phone and use option-Click on Check for Update

Wierd my photo album got wiped.. everything else seems to be there though..

Edit: my photos are coming back slowly.. Maybe regerating thumbnail cache?
 
3D textured maps is a real whiz bang feature. immediately impressive and fun. I was just messing around with it for 10 minutes. very neat

it's also completely useless for me as it doesn't actually help me navigate or become acclimated to new areas. But as a way to browse and mess around, it's very cool.

(I still need my street view with the google maps app to become available).

I'll try out the turn by turn tomorrow. I did start things out and created quick directions from siri searches and that all worked OK.

as for map database searches, I'm in montreal and I searched for "chinese buffet" the only result I got was in Cornwall.... uh oh.
 
I like the new maps app. A lot.

I live in NYC and use a different app for subway info so I don't really care about mass transit, but turn by turn has been great so far.
 
Ugh, my iTunes is just stuck on "waiting for iphone" and the progress meter on my iPhone isn't going anywhere. I hope I didn't fuck it up. My computer was installing drivers for some reason too


what should I do if it doesn't respond?


nevermind it's going
 
Running pretty janky after a restore. For some reason my iCloud backup didn't attempt to restore my phone. I'm going through and downloading my apps manually. :(
 
Facebook calendar events is pretty sweet. Really useful for me. Hooray for iTunes Match not being useless now, since it can stream your music instead of downloading them.
 
Phew, got a few failed flashes before I just redownloaded the ipws. Now I'm up ^^;

Looking forward to this. Can't wait to ditch Waze and stream iTunes Match.
 
I've been thinking about signing up for iTunes Match lately but I was wondering, did they ever fix the explicit lyrics problem it had around launch?
 
Game saves seem to be gone. What's the point of being only able to choose either iCloud or local backup:

if iCloud doesn't even grab everything?
:/
 
Shared photo streams kick ass for friends and family not on facebook. Great web interface. No more emailing big photo dumps.
 
How do people you invite see the photos?
When you want to create a shared photo stream, you invite people by their email or apple id. If they have an ios 6 device or mountain lion, they'll get a notification from there to join and can view/comment/like from the photos app. If they don't, they can view the stream in their browser if you make it a public stream (basically giving it an icloud url).

So... whats new :P

I mean like.... the little things not mentioned on the first post.

And why does Camera not look like the camera stuff in today's presentation? iphone 5 getting exclusive skins?

Are they supposed to get an email with the link then once I add them (if they don't use iOS)? I tried adding one of my own emails and I'm not getting anything when I create it or add photos.

Yes. Is your email associated with an ios device or anything? I didn't get an email when I sent it to my default apple id, but I did with an alternate.
 
Questions I hate asking:

Can I upgrade from 5.1 to gm 6?

Once running gm 6 can I update to 6.1 when it eventually comes out or do I have to clean install?

Yes and yes.

Crap! Is that optional? Downloading is way more useful.
Download button is still there in playlists, artists, and albums. Tapping a song will stream it by default if it's not downloaded.

Yes and yes.

That sucks. Now I have to download the song fully before it starts playing?
