Use custom maps of maps in MapsApp on iPhone
I am going to have a rest - there was a question about putting the places recommended for visiting on the Google-map.
On a stationary computer — no problem — the GoogleMaps toolkit is perfect for this
(My cards), but with an iPhone it's not that simple.
You can of course open the Google map in Safari, but it is practically inoperable (surprisingly, but the layout is a curve for the iPhone), and the native MapsApp application is heavily trimmed in terms of functionality - there are no “My Maps” (actually there is not even a login option).
Bookmarks built into MapsApp are hardly suitable for this, since There is no possibility to view groups of tags (but they are suitable for a list of streets or specific objects).
In the more general case on the iPhone it is not possible to use custom label cards at all.
But, having rummaged in Western blogs, I still found this opportunity.
A cherished link is a link to a .kml file entitled “View in Google Earth” (“View in Google Earth” eng) located at the top of any custom map (including your own maps).
All you need is to simply copy this link to the MapsApp search box.
Copying is certainly not in the literal sense (we can only open the card on a stationary computer), it must be transferred there. We will not reprint so many characters, we will use an alias for the url, for example - tinyurl.com (if copy / paste is not set)
')
So again in order:
1. open the necessary user card
2. Copy the link “View in Google Earth”
3. convert url through tinyurl.com/
4. open a new url through MapsApp on iPhone
- voila!
ps: of course, there is another option to save the .kml file offered by reference under any convenient name for typing on an available host and type in its MapsApp url, but then the map, of course, will not be updated.
Two problems remained unsolved:
1. Now, if someone can download this .kml directly to the iPhone and open it locally, then we don’t need an Internet (we can already download the card to the phone).
2. It would be nice to have the ability to send tags back - iPhone> GoogleMaps
