iOS 6 and iPhone 5 Support

We are pleased to announce that near2there is now compatible with iOS 6. You can now fully enjoy all that near2there has to offer on your iPhone 5 with its wider display. Despite all of the reports on the quality of the maps and directions in iOS 6, we have decided to fully implement them in our latest release. We are confident that Apple will fix all of the issues that have been discovered. Linking directly to Apple's maps provides the smoothest user experience. Please let us know how you are using near2there. Contact us at customerservice (at) near2there (dot) com. Thank you, Peter Olfe CEO & Co-Founder
