How to Use 3D Maps on the iPad or Phone

With the launch of iOS 6, iPad and iPhone users will now have the ability to view 3D maps on their devices. Curious how you can get in on this 3D mapping action? Then continue reading below for instructions on how to use 3D maps on the iPad and iPhone.

To clear up any misconceptions, you’re not going to be needing special glasses because this is not “Avatar throw your popcorn in the air” 3D. This 3D map mode provides three-dimensional renderings of things such as buildings and so on. It can be viewed “Standard” map mode or “Satellite” mode, which overlays aerial photography onto the 3D geometry.

Apple is dropping Google Maps as the mapping service that powers the Maps app and is instead rolling out their own mapping service. This has been made possible by Apple’s acquisition of multiple companies over the last several years. Let’s take a look at each of these companies annual reports. Not interested? Ok, let’s just focus on how to turn on 3D maps on your iPad or iPhone.

You Will Need:
iPad 2 or later
iPhone 4s or later
iPod Touch (4th generation or later)
iOS 6.0 or later (learn how to upgrade here)
Instructions:
1. Open the Maps app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Navigate to whatever location you wish to view in 3D.
3. Touch the “3D” button in the bottom left of the screen to enable 3D. Once you are in 3D mode, you can switch to Satellite view just as you would in normal 2D maps by touching the “peeling paper” button in the bottom right of the screen and selecting “Satellite”.
4. To change the angle that you are viewing the 3D maps, swipe the screen up and down with 2 fingers.
5. To turn off 3D, simply touch “3D” again to go back to Standard view.

Note that not all locations will have 3D buildings available, but this will improve over time as Apple builds out the database.

How To Use Gevey SIM Ultrasnow 1 2 4 on IOS 5 And What’s the Diffrence

If you decided to unlock your iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 5 so you have two ways the

First way: is to use Ultrasnow 1.2.4 which has released by the Dev- team to unlock iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 5 which supported these baseband 01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00.

Second way: is to use Gevey SIM in order to unlock iPhone 4 on iOS 5 Gevey Sim supported baseband 01.59.00 / 02.10.00 / 03.10.1 / 04.10.1 but notes if you have an iPhone 4 that is currently unlocked with a Gevey SIM card, you can unlock your iPhone on the iOS 5 firmware with the same Gevey SIM card as long as you preserve your baseband while updating to the iOS 5 firmware. So the difference between UltraSn0w and the Gevey SIM card, is that UltraSn0w only supports a limited number of older basebands while the Gevey SIM card supports a limited number of newer basebands.

How to Use Skype for iPhone as a Home Security Camera Monitor

If you have a small child that is watched by a baby sitter in your house, or just want to know what your really weird roommate does when you aren’t home, listen up! If you have a desktop computer or laptop with a webcam, then you already have a security camera.

Now all you need is an iPad 3G or iPhone that is compatible with Skype’s iOS app to act as the monitor. This way you will be able to see what is going on in your home using your iDevice, from anywhere that you can get 3G service…

Step 1: So now that you have the tools needed, you just need to install Skype on your desktop. Visit Skype website, it will allow you download the desktop version for either Windows or Mac. You will then need to make sure you have the mobile version for iOS installed on your iDevice. You will obviously need a constant internet connection to the desktop and Skype will need to remain open on your computer for this to work.

Step 2: You will need 2 Skype accounts. If you don’t have a Skype name already, just use the iPhone app to set up your main account, and use the desktop version of Skype to create the 2nd one. This 2nd account will be used only to connect to your Macbook’s webcam so make sure it’s a complicated Skype name and not to give it out to anyone. Once both accounts are registered, log into Skype on both your iDevice and your computer.

Step 3: You then want to turn on Automatic Answer in Skype on your desktop. It is found in the Skype Preferences panel under the Calls tab. You may also want to check ‘Start Video Automatically’ and uncheck ‘Show Call Controls’.

Step 4: Try it out! Open the Skype Mobile app on your iPhone or iPad and make sure you are logged in to your main account. In the search bar type in the Skype name that your desktop computer is currently logged in as and it should come up. Press the Video Call button and within minutes you should see what your webcam at home sees!

If you are trying to go incognito I would recommend turning the volume on your desktop all the way down and dimming your display. Even when automatically answering calls, the Skype app is noisy and very visible. Skype will not work if your laptop is closed or your computer is locked.

I love the fact that I can place my Macbook anywhere in my house and can take a quick peek at that room, even if I’m on vacation! It is important to note that I still have a grandfathered unlimited data plan with AT&T, those who don’t have unlimited data should use caution when using Skype away from Wi-Fi.

Has anyone tried this out? Do you have another tip to turn your iPhone into a security monitor? Tell us below!

HOW TO:
1. Download Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

3. Double-click on the Recovery Disk Assistant icon to open it.
