Apple made many announcements today. One that impact Google the most is that on iOS 6, Apple is ditching Google Maps with its own maps, with similar functions.<\/p>\n

What can you expect with the new iOS 6 maps? Well, you can almost everything that Google has provided and even more. If you have used Google Maps on Android and on current iOS, you will know that they are different.<\/p>\n

Google Maps is richer on Android (obviously) and iOS does not have 3D maps on it. This will change with the introduction of iOS 6 maps. Users will get vector maps with 3D features. Siri will be integrated into it. There will be turn-by-turn navigation incorporated in it (bad news for those companies that make navigational maps). There will be stunning flyover mode of major cities (according to reports).<\/p>\n

However, some reports had surfaced mentioning that iPad 2 and iPad 3 (the New iPad) and iPhone 4s will be getting turn-by-turn navigation and the rich flyover mode. The rest will get the maps but NOT the 2 features.<\/p>\n

And for those who love Google Street View, you can see goodbye to it with iOS 6. Not sure if Google will come up with Google Maps app for iOS 6 or not. I love Street View. Too bad, it will be missed.<\/p>\n

According to another report with leaked screenshot<\/a>, TomTom might be the provider of the maps information. However, in the screenshot, it mentioned “Data from TomTom, others”. Not sure what does “others” mean.<\/p>\n
