Apple iOS 6 Maps
We’ve heard numerous rumors that Apple is working hard to replace the default Google Maps service in their iOS operating system. Today Wall Street Journal adds more fuel to the flames by writing that a preview could come as soon as next week at Apple’s annual WWDC. Apple will use a combination of in-house technologies, as well as technologies bought of a number of mapping companies, including 3D mapping from C3 Technologies.
Later this year, Apple is planning to oust Google Maps as the preloaded, default maps app from the iPhone and iPad and release a new mapping app that runs Apple’s own technology, according to current and former Apple employees. Apple could preview the new software, which will be part of its next mobile-operating system, as soon as next week at its annual developer conference in San Francisco, one person familiar with the plans says. Apple plans to encourage app developers to embed its maps inside their applications like social-networking and search services.
