You have to use either Google Maps web-based versionor "Yandex. cards ", Which, although not up to the original iOS Maps client-Google, but definitely better «Web-stub". Yet there are plenty of paid and very expensive navigation apps, but they are mainly targeted at motorists. However, soon to be a very interesting alternative - maps from Nokia with its own client for iOS. It called the new service HereAnd the program is expected to release in the coming weeks.
Here is free and, by the way, Web version of the service is already available, And it works not only on desktop browsers, but in the mobile version of Safari, as well as the operating system Android 2.2 browser and later. An interesting fact is that Nokia owns one of the most comprehensive geographic data bases and even has access to private information of such courier companies like FedEx and UPS. Nokia CEO Stephen Elop (Stephen Elop) said that the maximum number of users in the program Here is the only benefit developers and owners of mobile devices themselves. "For the geographic platform is critical to attract the largest number of users who have added to its database the new location," - he said.
Of course, the new product will Nokia and Windows Phone, though the card companies and so long been available for the platform. Do not forget about Nokia and Android, for which the client will be released around the same time as the Here for iOS.
Hopefully, Nokia active in the field of mobile navigation on the Apple platform, will make Google move to its own Google Maps client for iOS.
