September 23, 267/366 (1728/1827)- So when I bought this it was an iPhone4S with iOS4, then upgraded to iOS5, and now this weekend Apple has pushed out iOS6. Since the phone was originally an iPhone4 and now has iOS6, and the average of 4 and 6 is 5, then it is logical that this is now an iPhone5! Correct?
And if it is then I saved a lot of money and never had to stand in line. I can hardly wait for iOS8 so that I will have an iPhone6!
Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, according to Apple Maps, doesn't have any roads or buildings in it. The Apple Maps on the right says "Unknown Location" which is NOT what was entered - it was a link from an Eventbrite page with the building's full address. No way I could find that building with the Apple Map. Zero chance. Had to revert to Google Map, though its new app is way worse than the old native Google Maps that came with previous iPhone OS's. Bad.
This is the first proper panorama shot I took with my iPhone on iOS6 with panaroma function. I wanted to upload it earlier in the week and somehow never got around to do it.
I am impressed with the quality, I must say. I am glad the snow is gone again, it was far to early for snow.
Happy Weekend!
Five iOS transit apps (for CTA and Metra) reviewed on Grid Chicago.
I decided to take a leap of faith, become an early adopter and upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS6 (many of my apps had pending updates I couldn't make with the old OS). This is a screen shot of Google Maps on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to the new iOS6. It shows bike routes in the UW-Madison area, which my phone didn't show before.
That statement requires some explaining, since Apple removed the Google Maps app from the new iPhone and its OS, substituting a map app of its own, created in partnership with TomTom and Open Streets Map. It has some nice features (including vector maps that don't need a data connection to zoom or scroll locations, as well as turn-by-turn navigation) and a lot of potential -- but it's not there yet. An incomplete and klunky location database. No transit, traffic or bike path info. (The old Google Maps app for the iPhone also lacked the latter three, though they have been implemented on Android phones for some time, but it did have a great database.)
So I was immediately missing my Google Maps app. What did I do? I did the only thing I could do: I went to the web version through the Safari browser and bookmarked it with an icon on my home screen. That's when I got some pleasant surprises: 1) The web version works just fine as a GPS map in its mobile incarnation; and 2) It has transit, traffic and bike route information, the stuff that was missing from the iPhone version.
I don't know if this has been an available option for some time, or whether Google just pulled this together in time for their getting dumped by Apple on the iPhone 6 (if this was up earlier, they sure didn't promote it, because I frequently searched for availability of bike information on the iPhone). Either way, I now have the best of both possible worlds. I'll keep checking the Apple map app for improvements. I may use the turn-by-turn directions now and then. And the vector maps will be a godsend when I'm out of cellphone range and without a data connection.
Plus, with the upgrade, I can now use the volume button on my phone as a shutter button for the camera -- a much more natural, camera-like position, at least for horizontal photos.
