Apple will see which one is the best, buy it then ban the rest or sue someone.

iOS6 was disappointing from the get go and now little bits of info are coming out about their maps program (which was their biggest improvement) and how it isn't that legitimate... fragmentation, now this. Apple is looking like a minor league player trying to hit in the majors for the first time. Welcome to the show Apple!!!

Innovation at its finest....200 new (maybe) and no turn by turn directions for maps on a $650 plus phone.....unbelievable innovation... i guess siri will take ubthere

Well they better keep Google Maps in the app store so ios users can pick what Maps App they prefer to use best.

Probably for the best. You dont want to jump out of the bus to jump off the bridge that it tells you to.

That's what happens when a tech company decides to sit on their laurels for a couple of years because they think everybody else won't bother to innovate. The debacle of Apple's IOS 6 is another nail in Apple's coffin. The crushing sales numbers the Galaxy S III will produce will finally push the tired iPhone over the edge.

What a joke....

Wow that's sad. It seems like Apple just did this to kick Google off iOS, not to improve the iOS user experience.

Actually, i don't consider the new Apple maps a new feature, it is more of replacement to Google Maps which is undeniably better, atleast for now..

IOS 6 maps is 3-4 years behind Google maps..
Apple from innovator to playing catch-up..

This is very very much expected... Since apple has many customers who without second thought follow apple and guess about the sales of iProducts later, if they jumped from Bridge after the sweet command given by Siri????

with GGmap, Apple is only one who have to pay for Google money to use their map on iPhone. Now Apple replace GGmap by its own map, but iDevice user who want to use all ability of Apple's map will have to buy 3rd app that be place in App store. That sound good for Apple since user have to pay more for 3rd app while Apple can pay less for map + earn more money from Map app that user have to purchase. Good thought Apple lol :))
