So what do you do on a Friday morning when an editor tells you to get some “exclusive” Apple news on the front page. Clearly
this:
According to trusted sources, Apple has an incredible headline feature in development for iOS 6: a completely in-house maps application. Apple will drop the Google Maps program running on iOS since 2007 in favor for a new Maps app with an Apple backend.
So the iOS map app is really old and busted and this is not exactly news. I’m guessing
Lead Dog and
Urban Mapping will be
along for the ride as well as
OpenStreetMap. Apple will probably blend many data sources like their iOS iPhone maps, rather than buy wholesale from Navteq or TomTom.
