And it’s getting something that Apple’s Maps app didn’t get: rave reviews. “It’s free, fast and fantastic,” said NY Times reviewer David Pogue. “Most of the people loading the new Google Maps on their iPhones will be pleased to welcome back an old friend,” wrote Ed Baig of USA Today. “The new Google
Maps app arrives with the all-important audible turn-by-turn navigation feature (in a robotic sounding female voice) that was left out of its predecessor.” And from Jon Fingas of Engadget: “We’ll admit that Apple’s solution is easier on the eyes, but accuracy trumps prettiness (and occasional at-a-glance readability) any day.” Google Maps, now available in the Apple App Store, is “designed from the ground up to combine the comprehensiveness and accuracy of Google Maps with an interface that makes finding what you’re looking for faster and easier,” says Google. How’s Apple’s fix going? Don’t know yet.
