Anyone else want to see an updated Google Maps app in iOS 5? I love how the street view and some other features (live bus times) the maps app google has on android devices. I would love to see some of those features in the Google Maps app on iOS 5.

Yea why not, but I never use that app on both Android and iOS lol

We already have street view.

main thing i want is support for alternate routes, but i think i remember reading that ios5 is getting that anyway.

 

[quietstormSD]

I didn't realize we already street. NM on that.

I use it all the time and could really go for some turn by turn.

 

[lellis2k]

Yup I use it a lot and turn by turn would be great

yeap I was gonna say that as well. If the app becomes like a real navigation system I'm down for that and dump navigon and tomtom.

you are correct, you get offered 2 alternative routes

Is there away to specify avoiding toll roads, motorways etc?

it's just the directions as normal maps app and then the app just provides alternative routes no option to avoid anything

It is not a full blown navigation app.

I bought the Tom Tom app a long time ago so I stopped caring. $35 is a steal

The iOS maps app is abysmal compared to Android and WP7. So yes, I would.

 

[auxsend]

Yes. It really needs a refresh.

I use Navignon currently. I need turn by turn directions out loud.

 

[Uln4321]

Turn by turn would be amazing!

Mapquest has turn by turn and automatic re-routing if you go off course. I love it. Think it's free too.
