trd Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I just updated my iPad to IOS6 and discovered the local map street names are all in Thai using the app. The new maps use data from Tom Tom. The previous Google maps were in English. Is there a fix for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dork Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just read yesterday about lots of complaints in the US about this. Not the language obviously but the quality of the Tom Tom supplied map data. The only solution so far seems to be either access google maps through the browser or use another 3rd party solution like Garmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dork Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Errrr hello, we are in Thailand ! Both of my suggestions have map data covering Thailand. So what's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Morozov Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I would second the suggestion for the Garmin Thailand Street Map (TSM), mostly very accurate and up to date. There is a way to use it on iOS but I am not sure if it works on iOS6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokdavie Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yes I agree, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the language setting to English on the new apple maps and I have seen some hotels that appear to have moved several streets over !! I use the Garmin app on the new iPad and an iPhone 4, which have been updated to iOS6 and it is still working normally. You can input Thai or English depending on the settings and same with the voice directions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muratremix Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Use free nostra map app. its similar to google maps but even more up to date than google. Apple should outsource Thailand map from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBKK Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Open up maps.google.com in Safari, bookmark it to the home screen. You now have a web app almost identical to the old maps app in iOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
