I feel that "two-finger rotation to any angle" is bad idea, if it can't be turned off.
The Google Earth iOS app has this feature and I hate the fact that every time I zoom in or out, I move slightly away from the up=north orientation. After a few minutes, my map view is upside down and I can't orient myself anymore.
I hope they make it optional and turn it off by default.
- ghiculescu 14y agoThe iOS 6 Maps has this too, and I haven't found a way to turn it off. You can also inadvertently "rotate" to 3D mode, which is again very annoying.
- jonknee 14y agoCompletely agree, this drives me nuts in the new Apple maps. Unless I'm in 3d mode I never want to be off north being the top, it makes things very confusing otherwise.
- sillysaurus 14y agoI've already made up my mind to never upgrade from iOS 5. We'll see how long "never" lasts, but I'd predict "at least a year".
- sjmulder 14y agoIf it’s anything like Google Maps on Android, there’s a small threshold before it snaps out of North/up alignment. And even then, you can tap the compass and it’ll reset the rotation.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoActually iOS 6's Maps app behaves exactly like that. The threshold is even larger than Android's (at least that's how it behaves on iPad, I haven't upgraded my iPhone 4 yet).
- skeletonjelly 14y agoAndroid has it. No problems with usability here. Once you commence a zoom action you can't rotate at the same time.
