iPhone: Google Maps Continuously Crashes

Found this out this weekend, my Google Maps was continuously crashing. I was at the hotel, and the wi-fi for the hotel had the screen where it asks you to accept the ToS, or whatever. I never accepted, but was trying Google Maps on my phone, and it kept crashing. I just had to turn off wi-fi and it worked fine again.

I think what you have to do is open safari and accept the ToS. Then you should be good to go on Google Maps (or other http-based internet applications, like Installer) until the allowance expires.

yes that is true as well, as long as it is just as ToS. The place I was at was like an airport wifi, where they want you to pay, and I wasn’t going to pay 10 bucks for a day of wi-fi :)

Ah–well it must have been auto-joining you to the wi-fi, and in that case deleting the network from wifi settings (and turning off ask to join networks, which will get annoying) will also work. You’re right, turning off wifi through services or something is probably a lot easier.
