Will Google Maps Return?

I am wondering if Google Maps will be restored to iPhone 5? Can I install it as an app on the iPhone? Many of my friends rely on it. I don't use mapping software very often on a phone, but when I do, I prefer Google.
Thanks
Bob Cochran

Mr. Cook has already suggested using at as a webclip, why would he care if it came back as an app?
But the big question is would Google bring it back as an app? Or keep it to themselves as a selling point for Android phones?
Incidentally, have you tried Live Street View?

  • Disappointed with maps, will google maps be available in the App Store?

    I was really looking forward to the new maps but am very disappointed. Don't get me wrong the 3D maps are great, but so far in the UK I can only find London with this function.
    But this isn't my gripe. It's the view in standard mode, none of the road types have different colours so navigation is much more difficult. On google maps the motorways are blue, major A roads green and so on. All the roads are the same colour on apple maps so motorways look the same as a roads etc. Is this likely to change?
    If not will google maps be available in the App Store any time soon? Or is there a free/cheap map app that is as good as google maps? I can use google maps in safari but its nowhere near as intuitive :-(
    I know the OS is only new, but they've been making a song and dance about this maps and I find it a big disappointing. I don't even like the colour scheme, oceans and rivers etc are shocking blue.

    If you go to google.com and view maps on the full site then there is a pop-up that asks if you would like to add the mobile app version to your home screen. This puts the google maps app on your phone. It is web based and at least on my phone is slow to load up but the resolution is what you were used to before the update.

  • Will Google Maps be coming out as an app? I''ll be glad to pay for it.

    Will Google Maps be coming out as a paid app? I currently have iO5, but don't want to change until it does.

    Google's Eric Schmidt has said they are not. However, you'd really have to take the matter up with Google.

    Just wondering when Google Maps will be available in the Croatian App store?

    No way to know unless Google announces.

  • When will google maps app available for Turkish users?

    Maps on İOS 6 is very bad for Turkish users because i couldn't find any of my location which i want to find regularly. But Google maps better than Apple maps. When will we reach the google maps app in Turkish Apple Store?

    Google maps available in US. Why Apple dont put this app all over the world store?
    Apple doesn't have anything to do with Google Maps, Google does, as its their product & they decide where its available.

  • Google maps back on the iPhone soon?

    How soon will google maps app be back on the iphone?
    Apple refused to post the question I previously asked, apparently they didn't take too kindly to the way I described their new wonderful application Apple Maps.

    There have been numerous posts about this.
    Google Maps is not on the iPhone because of 1 or more of these reasons:
    1. Apple has not approved the new Google Maps for iOS 6
    2. Google never sent in the app for approval yet.
    3. Apple is steering away from Google due to their strained business relations. Google did not want to release the Turn By Turn code / features for Google maps for iOS so that their Android products have an edge over the iPhone Google Maps. This is one of the reasons Apple developed their own.

  • TS1702 Does anyone know when Google maps will be available in Malta?

    Does anyone know when Google maps will be available in Malta?

    Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.
    Many will not read such posts.
    There is no way to know such a thing unless Apple announces.  Whenever Apple and the TV industry/distributors in New Zealand are able to reach an agreement for the rights to sell content, then they will be able to do this.

  • I hate Apple maps, will Marvericks give me option to sync contacts with google maps?

    Will Mavericks let me sync contacts with google maps or require sync to Apple Maps as does i0s7. I hate Apple maps.

    I have exactly the same issue.  I updraged my iphone4 to iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes to version 10.5.2.11.  I'm also running Windows7, but 32bit. 
    And I can also confirm this used to work both ways. 
    Good thing is that the iTunes backup and restore kept the new iPhone contacts on my device during the upgrade.  But they are still not syncing to google. 
    So the bad news is that its broken and has been for some time now. 
    anyone?

  • I heard the iOS 6 will not be available on the iPad 1 , will I be able to keep Google maps?

    I heard ios 6 will not be available on iPad 1 ,will I be able to keep Google maps ?

    Short answer: Yes.
    Long answer: The Maps application on iOS5 is, as I understand it, a custom front end for Google Maps that was created by Apple. It should continue to function indefinitely, so long as something does not change on the Google side that would prevent it from accessing their servers. Although I qualified the answer, it doesn't seem likely that Google would do such a thing.

  • When will the iPad get Google Maps?

    When will the iPad get Google Maps?

    As well, the Google map apps is a stand-alone App and does not integrate.
    The Apple Maps is a foundation app that links/integrates to the other Apple apps and services running on your IPAD as required (ie Find my IPAD).   It cannot be removed and so it is always working for you.
    I also find the Apple maps satisfactory for my needs.
    Cheers

    What to do NOT ask Google maps permit every open a page with maps functionality(custom maps), in phonegap app?
    If from my App go to click a you tube link or google maps link there is no way return back – I know – but when click home after click app opens you tube, what to do to return in the actual app from where clicked the you tube link?
    I tried but no way see shot attached xcode errors…

    It would make more sense to ask for help with PhoneGap on their support site.

    Try deleting Google cookies and clear the cache. This will usually fix this type of problem. For details see [[Deleting cookies]] and [[How to clear the cache]]

  • Will Google voice activated maps/direction ever be available on the 3G/3Gs?

    Will Google voice activated maps/direction ever be available on the 3G/3Gs?

    Depends on what the contracts look like with Google and Verizon...
    There is some exclusivity to the OS updates for Droid that Verizon will have first crack at...meaning that for example the 2.0 OS was first given to Verizon's Droid device and other Android phones still have 1.6 and 2.0 won't be available to the other devices until December...
    Future OS updates will also be released on Verizon Android phones first before they goto other devices...
    So...it could be possible that the new work done by Google for the Maps is a Verizon only perk from their new partnership...

  • If I install upgrade on Iphone3 will it take away google maps?

    I should install updates but have not because I heard that an upgrade will take away google maps. Is that true. I have an iphone3G

    Dont worry, Google Maps is removed only from iOS 6 and iPhone 3G doesnt qualify for an iOS 6 Update. So You can update it safely
