After all the controversy about Apple’s booting Google Maps off of iOS6 — reportedly because Google refused to incorporate turn-by-turn real-time directions — Google released a new iPhone app with those capabilities. According to the company:
At the heart of this app is our constantly improving map of the world that includes detailed information for more than 80 million businesses and points of interest. Preview where you want to go with Street View and see inside places with Business Photos to decide on a table or see if it’s better at the bar. To get you there, you’ve got voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation, live traffic conditions to avoid the jams and if you want to use public transportation, find information for more than one million public transit stops.
I’ve not had any real issues with the Apple Maps app, including directions, but this one seems quite nice. Worth a try, for sure.
