Google issued a beta version of their cards for developers

The Wall Street Journal reports that Google continues to move towards its goal to publish their own maps in the AppStore. All the fault of the removal of the native Google maps associated with the release of the official maps from Apple.

«Google has distributed a test version of its new application that will run on the iPhone and iPad to some people outside the company" - said a person directly associated with Google. Companies left to bring the application to the mind, before sending it to the AppStore. Although the exact timing is not yet known.

All previous versions of Google Maps included in the iOS 6 version. The new version of the Google Maps must be distributed for free and become available for download in the App Store. The app will support the browser function.

Google sent out a beta version of its new cards to its employees. Those, in turn, are not sufficiently confident that Apple will miss the application in the AppStore.
At the same time, the online Apple store applications have many of these mapping programs that perform similar functions of Google Maps. An alternative can be called the card company Yandex, parts of which were in the official Apple Maps.

Not long ago, foreign resource CNET has contacted Google for comment on its plans to release Google Maps in the App Store, on that company's representative gave a very streamlined response:

We believe that Google Maps are the most extensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps in the world. Our goal - to make this service available to everyone, regardless of device, browser and operating system.
