The arrival of Google Maps to iOS 6 It is becoming a hot and controversial topic after the huge fiasco that Apple's Maps application has caused after its launch of iOS 6 and iPhone 5. We have received statements from a Google executive who suggests that the ball is in the apple court so that its users can enjoy the most famous map service.
A few days ago there were rumors that the application Google Maps for iOS 6 had already been presented to the apple company and that only his approval was missing. It was said that they might even be tendentiously delaying its approval to give their native mapping service a second chance.
Well, some statements from Eric Schmidt, a Google executive, a Bloomberg in Tokyo debunked this rumor. Schmidt has said that Google has not yet moved a finger in this direction since the Cupertino company has not commented on whether or not they would support Google Maps in their new operating system. In turn, he indicated that he believes that Apple should have kept the map service of Mountain View since the most important thing is the users and their experience when handling the device. Schmidt is confident that they provide the best map service available and the best user experience. They continue in their efforts to bring Google Maps to the largest number of users possible regardless of platform, browser and device.
As we can see, these statements left the decision to the creators of iPhone and iPad, but denied the idea of ​​blocking the expected application.
Today the rumors return to the load and some media say that will arrive in two months. These seem more like wishes than facts. At the moment the iOS 6 users will have to settle with using the Google maps service in the browser or finding a solution through other applications. Another idea is to stick with iOS 5.
