Latest reviews of TV Maps app for iPhone and iPad
This works nicely for a quick view of locations that I can share visually with others. It also is useful in transferring directions to my iPhone.
navigation on the TV is so difficult it seems impossible to use. The use of the TV app is so unintuitive there must be a steep learning curve because I can’t even use it. the iPad app just sits there with a blank white screen. disappointingly useless.
A nice idea but poorly executed. Navigation is difficult. There are controls at the top & bottom of the screen but it is not clear how to bring up the bottom controls. You can not zoom into the map to the same degree you can with apple maps and you can not select between the three suggested routes when displaying directions (it seems to pick the worst route). In theory you can send directions to your iDevice using this app but why would you want to?
