Apple Pencil Map App

I need a map app like Google or Apple Maps which I can use the Apple Pencil to draw routes etc with. I have not been able to use either of the previous two with Apple Pencil. Am I doing something wrong as the Pencil works fine otherwise. Thanks

iPad 2, iOS 5, IOS 5 on both IPhone & IPad.

This doesn't work on an iDevice.

That procedure only works on Macs and the Mac OS.


Sorry.

The way to take a screenshot on ANY iDevice is to hold the sleep/wake button, then quickly tap the iDevice’s Home Button.

The screenshot ends up in the iOS Photos app.

Lucky you. I find no Map.app like you describe.

I can think of a workaround...

  1. screenshot or save image of the map from whatever source
  2. annotate as you see fit in your image editor app of choice

It won't be "alive" like Google Maps where you can "get directions" then drag points on the route around (I would MUCH prefer that to DIY drawing anyway) 😉
