If you have been pissed off at Apple ever since the release of iOS 6 and the new maps application, or possibly missing the street view function, then I have some good news for you. Google Maps are now officially back on iOS! The application is sporting a nicely updated user interface and it feels much snappier than it’s predecessor.
Here’s a look at the new interface for iOS 6, it’s quite reminiscent of the Android counterpart. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
