Google Maps for iOS Now Live in App Store - Page 6

blueroom · Dec 12, 2012, 10:39 PM

Available, nice. Download it via the itunes link on your computer. Then it'll show up in purchased on you iOS device.

jontech · Dec 12, 2012, 10:39 PM

Grabbed it the second it went live. Much slower then Apple maps on LTE here in Hawaii

zbarvian · Dec 12, 2012, 10:39 PM

Yay! No more Apple Maps jokes!

I do like Apple Map's UI, turn-by-turn (Siri integration, lockscreen, notification center integration), and Yelp integration more. But you can't argue with Google's data. Hopefully they'll continue to add the cooler features on Android.

For those having trouble getting it:

Go to Macrumors.com on your mobile device, click on the "Appstore" link in the article and download it. No issues, works great.

Call me crazy, but I'm kind of glad Apple came out with Apple Maps - because it forced Google to finally give us what we wanted for free (turn by turn).

With that said, I kind of do miss the Yelp ratings of locations. Hopefully Apple Maps will step their game up even more now...

This proves it. Google is a bitch. Apple had to kick them in the nuts so they would give us turn by turn Nav.

Strange to say, but Google Maps reminds me of Apple Maps... Still better database, which is what matters!

Same with me. It doesn't show in the app store.

Davewithak · Dec 12, 2012, 10:41 PM

I found it, but it's unavailable in Virginia. This would be really helpful on my road trip tomorrow

Voidness · Dec 12, 2012, 10:41 PM

I just downloaded it on my iPod touch (3rd Gen). What's funny is that it seems to work better than Google Maps on Android Jelly Bean.

MuddyPaws1 · Dec 12, 2012, 10:41 PM

Put it on my wife's 4s a couple minutes ago.

Are you really able to write a review after only minutes of having the app?

My old iPhone 4 feels less old now.

chrismarle · Dec 12, 2012, 10:42 PM

No iPad support is pissing me off.

black743 · Dec 12, 2012, 10:42 PM

All you people posting links to the app....we can find the app but it STILL says it's unavailable.

CubeHacker · Dec 12, 2012, 10:42 PM

Its not made for iPads

Every app is released like this. It just takes time for it to propagate.

Scott6666 · Dec 12, 2012, 10:42 PM

Message now says "temporarily unavailable" not "no longer available".

Better.

Update: On itunes on the computer. Still says no longer available on the iPad.

Hakone · Dec 12, 2012, 10:42 PM

Zooming in/out seems a bit choppier than the native Apple maps.

There is no magic pill, some people's local store servers just don't have it yet.

Going to Google Earth and clicking related won't do it. Using iTunes won't do it. Clicking the link in the story won't do it.

Either you have access or you don't. None of these little tricks actually change that.
