Ondrej Holzman We've already talked about the new maps in iOS 6 written lots of. Some are happy with Apple's creation, others hate it. Above all, the second group is waiting for Google to invade the App Store with its application, so that it can once again use Google Maps natively. But for now, we all have to wait…
It was speculated in the media that Apple is blocking Google's new application and does not want to let it into the App Store, but this is definitely not true. The CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, is for Reuters revealed that for now his company has not even taken any such steps as sending the application for approval.
Google is definitely working on a new native map application for iOS, but we won't see it anytime soon. "We haven't done anything yet," Schmidt told reporters in Tokyo. "We have been discussing this with Apple for a long time, we talk to them every day."
So we no longer have to ask if there will be Google Maps for iOS, but when. This is not yet clear, so users on more than 100 million iOS devices, which according to Apple have already been updated to iOS 6, will have to thank the new maps directly from the Californian company. She is aware of the shortcomings of her application, which is why Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller also stated: "The more people use the maps, the better they will be."
As a temporary replacement, going to Safari in Safari will suffice http://maps.google.com and pin the pages to your desktop... They also have their own icon and work quite quickly on WiFi :)
it's intentional from Google and no wonder. For Apple, on the other hand, only good. They will try even harder to make it worth something before Google starts swinging, and the main thing is that if I use it and send information about inaccuracies and errors (which is the case in maps) it will be all the more quickly.
Maps in iOS 6 are a complete tragedy and Google maps are a complete mess for me, I want a native YouTube app for iPad!!! The mobile web interface isn't great either. Oh no.
Google has already introduced its YouTube app on iOS. But for now only for iPhone. Jasmine is also nice for YouTube on the iPad.
I vote for Jasmine too.
I tried Jasmine, but I couldn't find any account management like uploaded videos, favorites or history... where is?
the mapy.cz application from seznau is the best replacement so far
But it's not on the iPad.
I'm surprised that Google doesn't just tell you to ditch the iPhone and buy an Android if you want Maps and YouTube.
Now, I would welcome Maps from Google to be an important native application, but so that it is again the default background for all applications, so that I can choose in the settings what backgrounds I want to use.
And I would also welcome the YouTube app for the iPad.
Somehow I don't understand it. I read that they use map data from TomTom and OpenStreetMaps. These are all quality map materials, aren't they?
