Google doubt that Apple will skip Google Maps in the App Store

A wave of indignation caused due to inaccurate and sloppy branded Apple Maps in iOS 6, after Official apologies Tim Cook, CEO, gradually began to fade. Firstly, the majority of users to try new card "in reality", aware that the trouble was not on such a scale is like trying to tell us about this by some media. Secondly, with each new iOS 6 update Apple seriously improves the mapping and data accuracy. Finally, various methods have started to appear over time (link again, link two) As a roundabout way to add Google Maps to your device.

As for the (potential) release of the official Google Maps application in the App Store, here things are not so rosy. Despite the fact that recently, Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman of the Board, was pleased the news that the version of Google Maps for iOS 6 is in active development, and the network already It will be the first screenshots of the programSome Google employees doubt the desire to pass Apple in the App Store alternative "guglovye" card. On this edition Guardian reported by several sources, "who wished to remain anonymous."

At the moment, developers in the sweat of working on Google Maps for iOS 6 and, according to this report, the program will be ready for release in December. However, the release of Google Maps is in question, since "Apple wants their users away from Google services and in general have forgotten about them». According to one source, "This does not bode well for Google Maps».

In the original article at the Guardian as proof Google is the lack of optimism the fact that Apple wants to "save face" and to make sure that their users are "completely abandoned by Google Maps ». In addition, the section in the App Store with alternative cards for iOS does not contain any program that would use Google maps.

By the way, on our site we have tried to answer the questionWhy Apple was forced to abandon Google Maps:

The reasons for this were several. Home: Google slowed the development of iOS-application. The program for the iPhone and iPad has become a much inferior in their capabilities similar Android-application. In particular, owners of iOS-devices have been deprived of a navigation service with voice guidance.
Google, realizing his advantage, began to demand more explicit branding in the app. In addition, the search giant wanted to add features such as Google Latitude ( «Locator Google»).

Ordinary users can only hope that Apple will still allow Google to release its own program of Google Maps in the App Store, as happened recently with YouTube.
