Motherofgod.gif - Just updated m iPad3 to iOS6 but I have a nightmare scenario.

Somehow Accessbility is turned on and siri is dictating every sodding icon I click on. I have to double tap everything just to open up an app and can't scroll up or down because I end up selecting something, which in turn ends up being dictated.

My device is cripped and I cannot turn off Accessibility in Settings/General because I can't scroll to the bottom. How the hell did this feature even get turned on by default?!

The new maps app is very poor. I'm really quite shocked by it.

Readability isn't great and it gives as much prominence to Paddington station as it does to a petrol garage.

Fingers crossed that Google release Google Maps for iOS.

Fixed. I was told that I could scroll up and down with three finger gestures. It was Voiceover in Accessbility. Turn it on if you want to play a prank on someone.

What do you find so poor about it? Have you used it?

Also, Google have already said they are planning to release Google Maps for iOS, so you're good to go

Someone tell me it best be possible to change the UK turn by turn navi voice to a female one. The male one I cant stand! Siri is set up for a female one.

GSM

Yes, I'm using the GM at the moment.

What I dislike:

- Train station names aren't written on the maps. You have to click on an icon to find out what the station name is.
- The station near where I work (Acton Central) is completely missing from Apple's maps!
- The footpath across the local park is displayed in the same colour as the roads. Impossible to tell whether you can drive down there.
- I find it harder to read road names. There's often superimposed over the lines of the road, one of top of the other.

And obviously there's no street view, but that doesn't bother me so much on a mobile device.

Just got the ipsw.

I know nothing about iPhone's really I am just doing this for my dad.

When I put iOS 6 on will the text messages, email settings and so on all still be there?

Yes but you have to make sure you have a backup before you start, then restore using the IPSW then restore the backup.

Any reason for the restore? I just backed up then ran an upgrade, don't seem to have any issues.

Nope I did not realise that it was possible, doh! I'm now waiting for all my apps to sync back across.

Well I updated my iPad 3 last night. All went well bar an accessbility option being turned on by default via a triple click on the home button. Siri is a cool addition. Not convinced by what I have seen on Maps so far and I miss streetview hugely.

I also later installed it on my iOS5 JB'd iPhone 4. That went smoothly too, so no real issues there. I just need to adapt to having the custom JB apps that made my phone a lot more of a joy to use previously.

What is so poor? Try looking at York with these maps. The aerial photos are all black and white.

With iOS6, is it still possible to Airplay YouTube videos using Safari? That is 90% of what I use my iPad for.
