I doubt apple will cause us trouble with it. (they did the same with iAds and Admob a while back). David. buzztouchmods.com Comments I wondered this too.

Who knows for sure though. We'll find out soon enough and have plenty of time to update. Interesting days ahead.

(On second thought maybe that's not so funny).

Fred@mySkylla com Android Fan Posts: 5259 Reg: Oct 03, 2011 location unknow... 62,560	06/09/12 11:20 AM (13 years ago) I'll venture a guess that Apple doesn't interfere with Google maps since it could (would) be a costly mistake for Apple. If their roll out of Apple maps is not flawless and they bounce Google maps, they'll immediately lose market share to Android making Facebook's debacle seem mildly amusing by comparison.

shenry Aspiring developer Posts: 469 Reg: Jan 10, 2012 Orange County, ... 13,390	06/09/12 11:31 PM (13 years ago) When I heard about this, I wondered if Apple might start requiring that iPhone apps include Apple maps rather that Google maps. Seems to be tough enough as is to get Apple to approve an app, think they might reject an app if it runs Google map rather than Apple map?

Alex@TM Apple Fan Posts: 956 Reg: Dec 20, 2011 London, UK 10,560	06/10/12 06:05 AM (13 years ago) This is a slight concern. I have a location based app that does well on the app store. It appears definite that apple have their own mapping app and that google will be dropped. Where will this leave apps programmed with google maps? More worrying for us, where will it leave BT created location apps?? Comments This is a slight concern. I have a location based app that does well on the app store.

New maps with Siri looks and sounds v cool. iOS 6 beta out now, ships this fall. Comments So you were wrong in your Apple prediction Fred.

appvision Aspiring developer Posts: 139 Reg: Jan 20, 2011 location unknow... 1,390	06/11/12 02:39 PM (13 years ago) Good news form a very reliable source - The new Apple maps are totally backwards compatible with the old maps. You should recompile on 6.0, but you don’t need to, it will pick up the new maps automatically Comments Good news form a very reliable source - The new Apple maps are totally backwards compatible with the old maps.
