How to get Google Maps in iOS 6
Yesterday Apple released the iOS version 6, with lots of new features like Passbook, Panorama, Facebook integration, Shared Photo Streams, Upgraded Siri, Face Time on Cellular and so on. Apple removed Google Maps from the iOS 6 and replaced it with New Apple Maps. In Apple maps, they provided options to see the map in new 3D and the Flyover feature, but it is not fully developed. Its just a start, so most of the people are really worried about the Map feature in the new iOS 6.
Around the Web, I have seen lots of people complaining about the new apple maps, its Half baked!. Even native YouTube app is removed in the new iOS 6, but Google developed a Youtube app for iDevices and now available in AppStore. There is no Google Map official app for iDevices yet. Hope Google will take a good move, till that we have one option to use Google Maps.

Brilliant Tutorial on getting Google maps on iOS 6 🙂 Keep rocking.
Robin.
Thanks for your comment bro… Happy to see your comment here 🙂
Its a shame we have to use this work around which works great by the way. The iOS 6 maps are not even 50% of google maps. It might take a two or more years for iOS 6 maps to get in line with google maps.
That’s really gonna be a pretty useful guide for all iPhone 5 owners. Who would actually want to use Apple Maps 😛 ?
thank u was search the net full day how to install them nice and easy steps to do it thank you!!!
They say that Apple map sucks. Well to be honest I did not find it so bad. Yet the older version was better.
