Mapping Service?

hi

I am having the exact same problem, over 1g used for mapping services!!!!! reset data usage mapping services stilled showed data being used. even after switching cellular data off individually on all apps and location services it was still using data 😠😠

I restarted my phone 5s then it stop using data , was to afraid to switch my cellular data back on

this is ridiculous.

I eventually switched cellular data on for whatsapp and instagram

No usage for mapping services at the moment!!!!!

"(which was not turned off before and previous months I did not have any problems)"

Hi,

I am also having the same problem! Iv used nearly 2 GB in the last few days, all for mapping services. I turned off cellular data for everyhting (except whatsapp) and still used 500MB in less than 24 hours. Called my cellular provider initially, and they investigated and said most of the data was going to Apple Maps (location services), so i turned off my location services completely, which slowed down the data usage, but didnt completely stop it. I reset all my usage statistics this morning, and have used 170MB on mapping services, just today. Please may someone explain exactly what my phone is doing with all this data.

Just spoke to my friend same thing 700mb used for mapping service

HI

just when I thought it was all back to normal

400 mb for mapping service

So has anyone had any joy with this? Same issues being experienced and a google shows a large proportion of AT & T users struggling with this issue. I started to get data usage on the Itunes account even though I was signed out. Something is not right, things are turned off yet seem to still manage to consume large (ridiculously in some cases) amounts of data.

Hi, i am having the samd problem. Has anyone fond a solution? Or maybe heard from Apple. I did a complete restore as recommended by Apple and did not restore from the backup. I am seeing my MAPPING SERVICES climb by a meg a minute! I have everything turned off. This is driving my account through the roof.

I am so mad! What does Apple think? That I'm just supposed to go without data?? I cant afford much data at the moment as im a student abroad, now I've been cut of from communicating to loved one's back home. I have been a loyal customer, and now their maps data or location services just ate up all my data. And Apple wont even bother to reply or give a solution. Very upset!! The other day it used 490mb!!! WHAT THE H ll APPLE??!!!! FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!! Apple left me in the dark! =(

Used over 200MB on the 26th between 1am and 5 am. Reset phone and usage data - same issue again - 602MB over night, between 11pm and 2 am. All went to Mapping Services.

Hey Theunis, looks like you have a Afrikaans name? I happen to have Vodacom as my service. Are you also from South Africa? I have posted this problem on mac rumours too. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1748696 I went to the Apple store yesterday in Centurion and they told me this same problem happened to some other Vodacom users as well. I was so sure this was Apple's fault, but I also have some suspicions this may be Vodacom. I'm going to want to be compensated for this if this is Vodacom.

I've had it with vodadom. Eish indeed! Just today another 380mb! Ya, its not all vodacom users, but i dont think its Apple though, must be Voda. Im changing networks, ekt genoet gehad van vodacom se komunisme.

JIp south african and also vodacom, and it happened to my girlfriends phone aswell last night. She is also on vodacom. I disabled all location services on both our phones, but she Still lost a 100mb to mapping services, so I am stumped as to why this is happening.

but still no so,ution.
