After Apple launched its own maps app in September, the
system was criticised by users due to blurry satellite images, missing towns,
wrong location and misspelled landmarks. CEO Tim Cook offered a public apology
and advised users to go to Google Maps through the mobile Web browser.
Cook wrote "We are extremely sorry for the frustration
this has caused our customers, and we are doing everything we can to make Maps
better," Also he replaced the executive in charge of Apple’s mobile
operating system.
Google on Wednesday launched the new Google Maps app for
iphone which features 3D pictures, turn-by-turn directions and public transit
maps. The new mapping tool became the most downloaded free app in Apple app
Store just a few hours after its release.
Google wrote on its official blog "People around the
world have been asking for Google Maps on iPhone. Starting today, we're pleased
to announce that Google Maps is here, rolling out across the world in the Apple
App Store,"
