Michal Marek A server with a name Technically Personal reported on another interesting thing related to the new maps from Apple, which will be part of iOS 6. A certain developer named Cody Cooper discovered commands in the source code of the new maps that suppress selected functions, such as shading, on devices equipped with some of the older Intel graphics cards. These are chipsets from Intel, which simply do not have sufficient performance for the smooth progress of such operations. Said graphics cards appear in the guts of some older Macs, and according to some, that means only one thing. It is theoretically possible that the new maps could also become a part of OS X and thus allow us to use them on our computers.
While this speculation has been driving the internet for the past few hours and days, the presence of new maps in OS X does not seem likely, for several reasons. The first of them is the fact that such an application has no fundamental application on a personal computer. Although Apple could create an alternative to Google Earth with a fly-over function and POIs from the Yelp service, on the other hand, Apple would certainly boast of such plans already at this year's WWDC, where it presented its maps and the new OS X Mountain Lion. However, it could offer map data through an API that could be used by some applications, after all, Apple could use them directly in, for example, iPhoto.
In the end, it is possible that the command, which is in the source code and caused so much fuss, is justified only when tested on the simulator in XCode. This solution allows developers to test their apps that use maps from iOS 6 without using an iOS device, with image rendering being hardware-accelerated via the graphics card. Map backgrounds would certainly find justification to a lesser extent in OS X, and maybe they will find their way here in time, but it probably won't be right away in the first sharp version of Mountain Lion, which we will see in a week. It should be recalled that one of the main reasons for replacing Google Maps was the introduction of its own turn-by-turn navigation, which Google's terms did not allow.

I would be for all ten, it would be great for developers. Make it possible even in desktop applications to find the nearest branch without searching on the Internet.
