IOS 6

Hey, decided it was time to try out IOS6 on ipad2 with my buzztouch apps. I found that when using a map location screen, if I have the show driving directions, if pressed, it does not open the new native maps app. It opens google maps on safari. Does anyone know how to change this? Cheers. Miguel

Hey Miguel, I apologise I can not answer your question, however I was just wondering if the apps performed pretty well on IOS 6 (apart from your issue..)? I am currently developing my app on IOS 5 and nearly done and it would just about destroy me if I found I had to change multiple things to suit IOS 6:( Thanks! Ben.

Hello Miguel, i have noticed that about a month ago, the buzztouch apps launch google maps in safari. We will probably need to update the code on our end to launch the new maps application. Hope this helps, Raoul
