We all know that iOS map application 6 was one of the greatest failures in the history of Apple , so better let's not talk about something so flawed and talk more about the app Maps from Google that slowly makes its way to the store applications for iOS.
According to the popular newspaper The Wall Street Journal, Google has begun distributing a test version of a mapping application that is compatible with the iPhone. If all goes as planned, soon we will have a great map app available on iTunes.
Obviously Apple will decide if Google Maps will be in store or whether it be blocked. For now we can only watch and see how things develop.
What do you think about this?

Bad news for Taiwan army generals. It seems that due to faulty app for iOS maps 6 has been given to the location of classified military base where a radar is made ​​with a budget of $ 1,200 million.
As you can see, the picture above is taken directly from the map application of Apple, which means that those who possess it can see the location of the building.
Apparently, the construction of the new radar will be completed around the end of the year and be able to anticipate in a few minutes a possible missile attack by China. And by the way, this particular information on the radar was not provided by the application, which was commissioned just show the location of the base.
Now one thing is certain: if China does not know where he was based, so now you know. In times past, soldiers from around the world have asked Google to lower the resolution of the images of certain areas or just the same are very blurry. Taiwan has already made the request to Apple, but it seems that Apple has yet to respond.
In some ways, you could say that the maps application has not proved to be so bad, right?
