New Maps

[Rob Phillips]

Hopefully some day. What is the afaik option?

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

 

[Icyhot1966]

Afaik is an acronym. It stands for as far as I know....

 

[Honey Beagle]

That is why I hate abbreviations. Hard to figure the meaning.

 

[Tartarus]

I love abbreviations. It makes typing much easier.

 

[Honey Beagle]

It is not hard to type with out abbreviations. Takes longer. But so what?

 

[Tartarus]

Gentle reminder, which I have to obey myself too. Let's keep it on topic please. Thanks.

It's there... switch to Satellite view and here you can swipe to 3D (or back) as before but when you are in 3D mode then there is a 2D button below the compass. Not the same as before.

I wish the Maps app could zoom in/out using one finger like Google Maps.

It can, please, look in the handbook next time:
- double tab will zoom in and
- double tab with two fingers zoom out

It didn't' used to have that functionality... but maybe your "handbook" is different than mine.. but hey, "thanks" for taking the time to let me know I should look it up.. I guess that same message could go for 99% of what people ask on this forum..

peace out "Elim."

I wonder how this will work with Carplay....

still not as functional as the Google Maps way of doing it, whereas you can use one hand... in order to double tap [with two fingers], you have to hold the phone in one hand and double tap with the other...

It doesn't bother me...I'm just happy we finally have an option to avoid tolls & highways

Is this true????

I'm confused on why you would have to use two hands to double tap That boils down to a personal preference. Google doesn't tell you to use one hand, you just do it & Apple doesn't tell you to use two. I'm completely capable of double tapping on my 6S+ with one hand, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yes this is true with the update

Yes this is true with the update

That's great! I've been wishing for this for years!

Same here

Just so you know, you don't have to be in Satellite view. It also works on the regular maps view.

so if you are holding your phone in one hand, you can double tap with two fingers to zoom out using the same hand you are holding the phone with? I realize I can double tap to zoom IN, but in order to zoom OUT you have to double tap with TWO fingers. I realize I didn't make that distinction in my previous post...

How did you get the 3D button to appear. I can't.
