Q: Any way to turn off iOS 7 navigation animations?

Unfortunately it's real. I have the exact same experience. I love iOS 7 but I can't use it.

I'm a developer as well and filed a bug about this with Apple back in August.

NO, you're not. You're being a troll. You make an accusation that I - and everyone else here - are making up our reactions to the update. Say that to my face and you'd get a smack, you internet-tough guy you.

Do you see the majority of us saying that the update is displeasing and we prefer iOS 6? From what I'm reading, the majority are saying they're perfectly willing to accept the update, but wish some of the gimmicky elements that are causing us to feel sick and nauseous could be turned off. Is an off option too much to ask for?

Well, if it is, the only way I know to turn off the elements that are causing me to feel nauseous is to purchase a different device. We choose oour devices and toys, etc. bc they make our lives easier and better. THIS current situation is unquestionably for the worse. If what it takes for me to enjoy my phone - and apps, etc. - again is to switch devices, there's no reason I wouldn't do that, now is there?

I'm curious as to how many people really are affected. It can't be a lot. Although this is getting lots of news attention and this thread is long... The thread is mainly being filled with useless "FAKE" comments. Save the trolling for elsewhere people! This is supposed to be a help forum. If you aren't helping (or trying to or are experiencing this same problem) then there is no place for you here! Plain and simple.

This is a situation where Apple's legendary silence is incredibly frustrating. Not a word as usual explaining if something will be done to help us.

Have you seen the new photo app? They don't need a map anymore because you can sort by location now.

Who are you to say I don't need a map any more?

I have about 5000 photos on my iPad, taken in about 150 different countries, and maybe several thousand different locations, over a period of forty years (all my old photos are scanned and geolocated). These are needed for my work to show to clients. Completely impossible to find photos now without the map, as all I have are pages and pages of minute thumbnails. I am embarassed to use my iPad in front of clients now.

There might be an app that will do what you want... I did a quick search at appshopper.com using "photo location" and I saw a few apps that might do what you want.  Good luck.  BTW, I liked that feature too.

"Best to ignore people like that. They just say things to get attention."

That!

Photo-map in the photo app is still there. Just click on the location name and you get the map.

WikiPedia search from spotlight is gone, but is still available with Siri.

LOL - yes, after spending 20 minutes browsing thousands of tiny thumbnails looking for a photograph I took at a known location I can then click on it and see on a map where I took the photo - GREAT! What genius worked that out!

And now to look up snything on Wikipedia I am now sipposed to talk aloud to Siri - how is that supposed to work when I am on the bus/in the queue at a supermarket/in a noisy environment. Apple really are geniuses for wrecking the usability of their products.

In the Photos app under Photos, using the top left, back out to Years.  For each year, you can tap the locations on the right and get a map of all pics in that year.  I only have one year on my phone now so I don't know if you can see more than that.

I have fifty years on my iPad, and at least 150 countries and many thousands of locations. Now impossible to find a picture unless I can remember exactly the year I took the photo, then scroll back to that year, then read multiple location decriptions, then try to see tiny thumbnails. Previously I could find a photo anywhere in the world by a simple pinch zoom.

Maybe the new methodology works for YOU - and the way that YOU use your device, but it most certainly does not work for ME. Apple did not warn that they were going to remove this feature in their description of their OS7 upgrade - hence I want OS6 restored.

Restoring OS6 would also answer the complaints of all the other people on this thread (whose frustrations I also share)

Yeah, I knew you had a lot of years... wasn't sure if you had more than one year, you could back further out to see all of them.  Good luck finding an app.

You can still look at the map with photos. Just sorted by years

Hear, hear! I wonder if Apple's NDA covers kinetosis and related effects?

Do you have a vestibular disorder? Vertigo? Labyrinthitis? If you knew what any of these illnesses were like and the effect something like iOS 7 can have then you would be quiet.

No need for that even. I'm confident I must have former colleagues in his area who can teach him what visually induced motion sickness feels like (maybe even of the form that lingers for a couple of days) ...
