Yesterday we told you with joy that Google Maps has come to iOS after months in which its users were forced to use the defective Apple Maps and implored the arrival of what is known to be the best possible solution. The bad thing, as we indicated yesterday, is that the application is designed for the iPhone and does not have real support for the iPad. We want to tell you how to make the Google Maps look good on your iPad, for which you will have to have inescapably done Jailbreak.
The only thing you can do now with an iPad without jailbreak to see the map service in full screen is to set the 2X mode with which we load the definition. However, on the Internet they have found the solution and we will transfer it to you.
Obviously yes you have jailbreak You will continue with the version corresponding to iOS 5.1 and watch out for the pirates that usually break the cage of Apple operating systems give a stable version.
Either way, you can install the application from iTunes and then you only need a plugin, an existing tweak in Cydia to compensate for that support. The tweak we are talking about is called Full force and can be found in the Big Boss repository.
As always, install it and restart your computer. Then we go to Settings / Extensions and we see Full Force. There we see a list of applications that are compatible with the tweak and we activate the Google Maps tab. From that moment on, every time you open the map service, it will use whatever definition it has.
If you have an iPad with a Retina screen, whether it is the third or fourth generation, it is advisable to install an extension of the tweak called RetinaPad that enhances the effect of Full Force on Retina displays. Although you do have to pay for this one, $ 2,99 to be exact.
We would greatly appreciate those who decide to give it a try to tell us about their experience in the comments.
