Once upon a time, Google Maps was an indispensable part of the
iPhone experience, faithfully guiding users wherever they needed to go.
Then, Apple decided to ditch Google's cartography in favor of it's own mapping system in iOS 6,
sending the crowd in Mountain View scrambling to build a standalone
solution. Well, tonight, all you iPhone folks can once again get Google
telling you where to go (assuming you weren't already using web-based
Gmaps), as the much anticipated app has landed in the App Store. The best news? As was foretold,
it's brought turn-by-turn navigation along for the ride -- we trust you
won't need Google (or us) to tell you where to find the download.
There's no iPad-optimized version yet (although it is iPhone 5 ready),
hit the source link to download for iPhone now, check out the list of
features and intro video after the break.
Update:
Having trouble actually snagging it? We've had inconsistent results
ourselves, probably due to the sheer number of people trying to access
it at once. In the meantime, while you can keep hitting download, you
could also take a minute or two off, tweet an "iTunes is using Apple
Maps to find the Google Maps app" joke and try again later.
