I recently visited China, where I used both Apple maps and find my friends. The maps were different in China, but still worked. Now, i've come home to the UK, and the standard maps are just showing green park areas and nothing else - not even oceans. Any suggestions?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4
Double tap Home button, delete Maps from multitask-bar, do
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I've just given it a try, and it's still not working. I assume maps is not receiving data from Tomtom? if you look at the 2nd image in my original post, it says "data from others".
Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings & Reset Location & Privacy
Thanks. Still not working though.
Go to your Contacts app, tap your own address.
Still doesn't load the map, but when I tap route to destination, it maps out a route as normal. Just no visible roads. Thanks for your help so far.
Try google maps, see if you can at least get some sort of Map data to load.
I'm going to back up the phone, completely reset it and then restore it. Hopefully the setting that's keeping the maps application from receiving data from Tomtom won't also be saved. I've got no other ideas.
I have just experienced the exact same issue. After returning from China, my maps does not show overlay. Hoe did you resolve this issue?
I think the way I solved it was to back-up, completely reset the phone, and restore it afterwards. I'm sure there is a simpler, less disruptive way to do this though.
