Can I Download Maps On Iphone

[Carlito Roby]

Ialso find that when I overwrite a layer that is already in Field Maps, iphone user then don't have the ability to edit this layer (android users can though). My work around has been to add the layer again and reconfigure the forms, which is some what time consuming.

I have the same issue. I have been using Field Maps for a couple of years now. The last few days I noticed that one of my layers will not load on my ios device. It loads without problems on android. The feature works fine on map viewer and on the application (web app builder). I have tried and republished the layer several times. When I republish the layer it loads in Field Maps, but as soon as I make a change in the web map or if I click on "update" in Field Maps it fails to draw.

We are having very similar symptoms to what you described only it's a third party asset management app. The android app pulls the maps/layers in just fine, but the iOS app does not. Basemaps from ESRI also work fine. Go figure. Did you ever find the culprit?

The problem is that when I click on these links using my iPhone - or any address link that shows up in an email, the result is that either the native Apple Maps app opens or the Google Maps in the browser. I want for the native Google Maps app to open every time, and ideally for every user (whose iPhone I have no control of).

But the reality is that the trick above will not open the Google Maps app. It will open the web version of Google Maps inside the Chrome app. Then an icon shows up at the bottom asking if you want to open the native app instead. This is better than nothing, but far from ideal. I appreciate any help. Thank you. BTW, I'd like to do this without jailbreaking the iPhone - I'm looking for a solution that will work with other people's iPhones.

However, after deleting the Google Maps app for iOS, the link fails to open anything because that schema is no longer available and doesn't fallback to a generic maps link... almost seems like you would need to provide two links for Google Maps for iPhone and another generic Apple Map link...

Hi, sorry for the likely dumb question, but I'm a relative noob (I've been on since '05, but haven't done a lot of caches yet). I am just starting to use my iPhone as a gps (if I want to do a quick search and don't have my gps with me). There is one location that I only have degrees/minutes/seconds for, and I'm trying to get it into iPhone Maps, but I can't seem to get converted correctly. I've looked for a couple hours on websites (including this one), tried converting it to decimals/degrees on the web, tried entering numerous different formats, but so far it's put me in Mongolia and the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, neither of which I'm anywhere remotely close to!

Could someone please tell me the formatting I could use either with iPhone Maps (or Google Maps- I have that on my iPhone too) in order to get the correct location on my map? I would really like to get this to work! Thanks in advance for any help!

I have Iphone also.. I don't think you can get the coordinates to work in the phone maps, or at least I couldn't either. If your looking for a particular place in Geocaching.. then I can help you there.

Click Navigate.. then in the upper right corner of the app.. click the '...' IT will bring down a menu that has several options. Click Add Waypoint. When that comes up.. click N. to change the coordinates.. then enter W coordinates. Click add to current location or cache location. Click Done. A flag will appear on your map.. then you can touch the flag and another menu option will appear. You can set at target to cache or to your location. It will save when you exit.. meaning it will keep the waypoint for that cache with that cache so you can return to it again if you need to. This is a great benefit for doing multi caches.

That may be the route I have to go. However, I've been reading, and it looks like in iPhone Maps that you can enter degrees and decimal units (ex. 44.5903 - 104.7153). Does anyone know of any way to convert Degrees Minutes Seconds to Decimal Degrees? I've looked at sites to try to convert, such as My link, but I can't seem to get the Degrees Minutes Seconds in correctly to get converted. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated!

The key was figuring out how to enter the degree symbol 0 in iPhone maps. So when entering the coordinates into iPhone Maps, enter it exactly the same way as its listed above, but for the degree symbol, long-press the zero (0) key, and then you can select the 0 symbol. Voila, it works!

Generally speaking -- it might well depend on the app (there's lots of them out there) -- entering the sign into a device that is used for coordinates (including dedicated GPSr units), you needn't bother with entering that symbol. The device already knows the first two (or three) slots are whole degrees. The key is entering the proper format (decimal placement).

I have a unique question. While deer hunting I took coordinates off my iphone to send to a friend. Of course the coordinastes were in degrees, minutes and seconds. For example... N40 55 54 W75 34 57. Well how do i convert this so we can put this into my or his GPS? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!!!!!

Here is an app that I find interesting for deer hunting and geocaching. Not only can I use it to take coordinates, I can use it to view who owns the parcel of property. It comes in handy for asking permission to hunt or geocache.

How does this show who owns the property? I have created an account and have zoomed in on the map to see the parcel boundaries. There is one parcel that has a person's name in it, but all the others don't show anything.

This is the part of Ireland that we completely missed on our first trip in 2004. On that trip we landed in Shannon and had 8 days with a rental car, a B&B booklet, and no guidance. This was before GPS, so we had no idea what we were doing or even what direction we were heading, especially during the first few days in the West. (Basically we just drove clockwise, hitting the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Galway, Connemara, Westport, Sligo, Donegal, Ulster Folk Park, Portrush, Giants Causeway, Newgrange, Slane, Dublin, Powerscourt, Waterford, Blarney, then back to Limerick/Shannon.).

This time we want to see the quadrant of Ireland that we missed before, especially the Dingle and Kerry peninsulas, in a more relaxed manner. I'd like to use the familiar Maps or Google Maps app on my iPhone ... IF that works in Ireland. Has anyone used it there? Is cellular service available to access it in these area? And what cellular services work around there? My AT&T plan offers me Irish service via Vodaphone. And on previous trips to England I installed sim cards from 3Com.

I just returned from a trip that had me driving in Italy and Austria. On previous trips I used a Garmin GPS. This time I used my iPhone and Google Maps. It worked like a charm for driving. When using it in pedestrian mode I found it wasn't always as good. It's entirely possible it was operator error. Definitely use GPS rather than relying on following tour buses.

I haven't driven a stick shift in 10 years but thought that would be just fine ... until I realized that in Ireland you are sitting on the right of the car, thus shifting with an inexperienced left arm. So I just tried to modify my booking to an automatic online ... and got offers of an extra $150 or more. Perhaps a phone call is in order!

Just got back from using Google Maps in Ireland and it works fine for drivers. The best feature--it even works off-line. You must have a Google account and download the sections of Ireland you want in advance. But when you're there, you can use route planning and get voice directions while you are off-line. It even recalculates if you make a mistake and turn off your route. However, it's important to have a car charger and a phone mount if you go this route. Unfortunately, the Apple Maps function doesn't work off-line, so I prefer Google Maps.

On our September trip to the south and west of Ireland we tried using our iphone for navigation (we had a Verizon international phone plan). There wasn't a problem with cellphone service but, although the GPS function worked some of the time, there were other times when SIRI led us far afield over narrow rural roads rather than a direct highway route. We were told by our landlady that this is sometimes a problem in this part of Ireland. We finally give up and started using a regular road map and it worked out just fine. Also be aware that many times you will not have an address to give as a destination--we found that many places have no street address, just a name, and the program won't recognize the destination.

How do you go about downloading the maps in advance, T.? Do you initiate it from the Google Maps app on the phone or through your Google account on the computer? Since we'll only be 4 days in the sw of Ireland, that should be a manageable area. Thanks for reminding me to pack the car charger.
