Apple Maps Turn by Turn now active in SA

[Peder]

When iOS6 finally arrived in September, we were disappointed to find that turn by turn navigation was not switched on for South Africa, despite Apple Maps having full routing capability for SA. Apple subsequently updated their iOS6 features page with a statement saying that turn by turn will arrive for SA in October. Luckily Apple did not make us wait too long – if you use your recent model iPhone (4S or 5) or iPad 3, you will see that turn by turn directions are now up and running.

This is cool, it seems to actually work, will test it just now and let know how it works.

It does. Annoyingly, though, Siri still is't aware of the change.

See above. If you've got the wifi only version you're sol but it should work with the 3g model.

That is simply unfortunate. However, on the other hand, I cannot ever recall a single occasion where I had to depend on my phone for directions... So ranting about it would be the equivalent of a bald person complaining that he cannot make use of a certain brand of hairbrush. Well done again Apple

Seriously? So what! I use it all the time and it's great.

Touché comrades, however what is good for the goose isn't always good for the gander... What I meant was, I was in no place to rant about my device not being compatible, as I don't really use the feature. However this rule does not apply to all. By all means, feel free to rant, if ranting is what best suits your disposition
