A miracle happened, and the official Google Maps application once again available to users on iOS devices. In recent years, around Apple's own maps it has been a lot of noise, and the likelihood that the apple company can not miss the Google app in your market, only added fuel to the fire.
Now you can breathe easy. Google Maps out, available in the App Store are free and expected.
It is worth noting that Google did not lose time in vain, and updated application will please users not only improved and optimized interface, but also highly anticipated turn-by-turn voice navigation.

Do not forget the developers and about gestures. Horizontal two-finger swipe opens the access to the menu display traffic jams, transport routes and switch to satellite view. Paragraph Google Earth will send the user directly to the application (available in the application and the model of the whole earth).
Not without proprietary Google jokes. If you shake a smartphone running the application in hand, it opens a form of feedback to the developer. It seems they have counted all :)
An even more interesting fact: Google themselves admit that iOS app has turned in terms of design, even better than the application of "native» Android. This is the result of generalization and systematization of all the accumulated experience and knowledge about designing a truly easy to use applications.
Naturally, the new maps included and base of a variety of different institutions of data around the world. Not only can you find an interesting restaurant, but also read its description, as well as the menu. There in the Annex and Compass Mode.
