Comments on: Google Maps for iPhone OS 2.2 Feature Flow http://www.imore.com/2008/12/07/google-maps-iphone-os-22-feature-flow/ More of everything iPhone and iPad Sat, 26 May 2012 15:38:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: C Lyster http://www.imore.com/2008/12/07/google-maps-iphone-os-22-feature-flow/comment-page-1/#comment-32878 C Lyster Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:23:43 +0000 http://www.theiphoneblog.com/?p=5913#comment-32878 <p>I'm now really frustrated that after several months of consistent feedback from British users Apple have still not taken on board that we use miles, not kilometres on British roads. It is in fact illegal to place signs in metric on the roads; if there are a few people who want distances in km why not simply give a setting option to display in either units? We may be members of the European Union, but we are by no means full converts to the system of simplified children's units used on the continent.</p> I'm now really frustrated that after several months of consistent feedback from British users Apple have still not taken on board that we use miles, not kilometres on British roads.

This is rediculous! I have to calculate milage for work and now can't or have to convert. Major pita!! Please can you correct this serious failing on the upgrade.</p> Why is there no option to have miles instead of km on the updated route planner? This is rediculous!

I've tried to "visit" the Apple Store in Ney York as it is in this exampl above, but i'm not able to see street view. So is it possible that street view is not available on the iPod Touch, only on the iPhone 3G with GPS?</p> If got a question: I have an iPod Touch with OS 2.2, but Street view isn't available.

I have a question. Is there any way I can see your pictures at the top of this blog in a larger screen? My husband and I differ on the user friendliness of the Google Maps program for our iPhones. I enjoyed your article.</p> I was reading your blog and trying to learn more about using the Google Maps program. I have a question.

For example, I told it to tell me how to get from school to my house using public transit and it gave me a very confusing route, instead of just going directly home (And yes I do know that the bus does go directly home).</p> It would be awesome if, where google transit is supported, you could simply tap on bus stops to get the bus number that passes by it and its times, instead of having to first enter a route you want to take and have it try to tell you what stuff you should take.

Would be great for London if we had it. It's available on the desktop Google Maps though. One main gripe i have is in the UK, Googlemaps is shown in Km. We use miles here. Seeing distances in km is not instantly instinctive to me.</p> Transit not available in UK yet. Would be great for London if we had it. It's available on the desktop Google Maps though.

I just went to NYC to the first time and using google on my iPhone I was able to go to the Brooklyn bride, empire stte building, times square, ect.. It had perfect directions (get on the d train towards coney island and get off at the 72nd st station). Amazingly useful and helpful!</p> Transit directions are amazing.

I know they're always changing so that's an issue. But some of the long stretches of road around me don't have speed limit signs for as much as eight to ten miles... and if I'm the only car on the road I don't have a clue.</p> I don't know if it's possible (or probable), but I'd like to see Google add speed limits.
