Google might bring Google Maps for Apple App Store soon


The Apple Maps app was probably the first ever failure for the company on such a huge scale and they are finding options for the app. However, Google may rope in the Google Maps for Apple App Store. It is expected that it may materialize sooner than later, probably this year itself. The release of iOS 6 saw the phone coming with pre-loaded maps app from Apple.
The decision of the company to do without Google Maps has proved to be on the negative front. There are loads of negative comments and complaints about the same. The reason is that there is a high amount of inaccuracies. However, Google might bring the Google Maps for Apple App Store.
According to the sources in the industry, Google was busy with the work of releasing the Maps app for the iOS gadets. Steve Troughton Smith, who is the iOS developer, confirmed the reports. If the latest reports are to be believed, Google may come up with the launch sometime before Christmas.
Apple had also brought out a statement replying to the complaints they were getting from the users and customers. The new app had come with an iOS 6 update. Apple was of the view that when more and more people will use it, the better it will be getting.
There will be newer features like the Siri integration and Flyover along with the turn by turn navigation. The features used in Siri as well as the traffic are available only in a few countries.

Do users really need options to Apple Maps

Apple is developing its own maps. This means that there will be a stiff competition to its nearest rival Google Maps. Now this pops up another question. Will the Apple users be able to use Google Maps? Or will it have to be used as a third party application? However, the biggest glitch is that there still is no apparent answer to this question.

However, the users are not generally too happy with this new development. Some of them have expressed their frustration through various forums. Some of them feel that it is taking a backward step towards the 2009 software. There are some of the users who want to use the Google Maps once again.
Apple had already made it clear that the company would not duplicate the features that are seen in Google Maps, especially in all the countries. As compared to Apple Maps, Google Maps is far ahead and looks utterly professional as against the Apple app.
As a matter of fact, Google Maps were being used in the iPhones since 2007. And now as Google has announced that they will bring Google Maps in Apple Apps Store until Christmas, Google lovers have something to look forward to.
