Pinch yourself people. It’s true. Google Maps for iOS is out. And its better. Way better than it was before. Previously when Apple licensed Google maps it did not have voice navigation. But now Google has finally released a standalone app after Apple abandoned the Google app in iOS 6. Not to forget, the Apple maps that is currently on iOS is really poor and has been collecting bad press worldwide. Google really used this opportunity to release their own maps app with exciting new features like turn by turn voice navigation and guess what it’s even available in India. The maps app lets you search for location and then route to the location using car or public transport with traffic details in supported countries.
This new Google Maps comes as a lifesaver to many or most iOS users who rely on Maps to get in to different places. If you’re not a big fan of Google Maps, you can alternatively choose Nokia Maps from AppStore. But mind you, it does not have voice navigation and retina display optimisation. But the app is universal.
