Since its release, Apple’s (AAPL) “Find My iPhone” app has helped countless people find their lost or stolen iOS devices. The company has updated its app with a new feature that provides driving directions to your iOS device wherever it’s located. The only downside to the app appears to be the fact that it requires devices with iOS 6 installed because it uses the disappointing and sometimes dangerous Apple Maps for navigation. Still, if you can get over that flaw, Find My iPhone version 2.0.1 should definitely be one of the first apps all iOS users install. It’s better to be safe than sorry if disaster strikes and your iOS device goes missing.
