How to Fix iPad Maps App Crashes Problem? Do you love traveling? Do you always go to places? Or are you just a workaholic wanting to know where the congested roads are? Whatever type of reason you might have, there is just one bottom line: You need a map, and not just any map - a virtual one.

Good thing the Map app on ipad was invented. This app would deliver all your needs when it comes to location-related issues. With this app, you would never get lost, or get stuck in traffic unaware, ever again. With just a few taps, you can already view the best way to the place you are going, or with a few taps, you already know the alternate routes you could take to skip the traffic and get home early.

The only problem is, the app itself, gets lost sometimes. This map app on ipad is crashes. You could just imagine. It's the day you'll crack the big deal. You're lost. You're desperately scrambling, taking all the wrong turns when you suddenly remember "Hey, I have Map!". So you take out your iPad, but the moment you type in the first letters of the place name that you're looking for, the app crashes.

The Solution to the iPad Map App Crash

Although it also crashes in different ways and instances, the Map app crashes more while searching for a place or a location. Some users claim, this just happens on portrait mode, while others claim that it really doesn't matter whether the app is on landscape or portrait mode. Other issues also involve certain letters like the letter "J" or "C", which for no reason at all, could send the app back to the Home screen.

A method that could help solve the map app crashes problem is through resetting. You can perform a soft reset by holding down the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears, or by a hard reset which is done by holding down both the Sleep/Wake button and Home button for a few seconds or so. This might work, but if your issue is the same with the other users, then maybe it would take more than resets to solve the problem.

The next step is resetting the device as new, or restoring it. Though this is a "try at your own risk" solution, since a lot of users already claimed that it just worked for them for a couple of days and then the problem returns.

Another solution could turn the AutoFill off. This is done by going to Settings, choose Safari, tap on Autofill, and finally turn off "Use Contact Info". This solution could finally cure the issue, but if the issue still continues, or if you have discovered that your settings are already turned off in the first place, then maybe the next and final solution would help you?

The final solution is to delete your MobileMe account, or all of your contacts, and then perform a hard reset. It's the second reset discussed above. After performing a hard reset, try out your ipad Map app. It should already be working okay (Finally!). Try reentering your MobileMe account, and see if Map still works. If iot still does, then congratulations! You have finally solved your ipad Map app crash prblem.

However, if you still can't figure it out, then all you have left to do is to wait until the next update and hope that the problem would already be resolved.
