So if you use "Find My Friends" you probably know it's not working so well with iOS 7.
At first I was hoping for a fix. But now it's caused me to wonder, wouldn't we be better off if Apple just killed this app and just made it a function you could enable in Maps?
After all, you can access your Mac's Safari-tabs within Safari. You don't have to download a "Your Mac's Internet" app from the app store.
I mean, how great would this be?
And you could control it in SETTINGS > MAPS where they would put a page that gives you the same controls that the current FmF app has.
This could certainly be the kind of update that a x.1 update gets, so it's not out of the question. I have no reason to think that they are doing this, but I have to say I think it's what I'd prefer over an updated FmF app.
EDIT:
And for those who are wondering, I intentionally didn't put it in the 'Standard-Hybrid-Satellite' row because I don't see it as a mode that you just leave on all the time.
Rather, it's something you turn on when you need it, look at, and then it turns itself off when you close the app. (In other words, there is no 'Hide Friends.' That just happens by itself.)
So your friends are always one simple touch away, but they're not auto-loading every single time you open maps.
