Since it was Google's data, Apple will probably build it back in at some other point since it's what they've done previously.

- glhaynes 14y agoHopefully Google will produce (and be allowed) a Google Maps app for iOS.
- glogla 14y agoAnd we will see whether Apple will allow such app in their store. I would imagine they will not, because they would rather have people using their own maps, but perhaps they will be benevolent this time.
- technoslut 14y agoIf I had to guess, Google will attempt to get it into the App Store before iOS 6 is released. Apple will probably end up delaying approval of the app for a few months after iOS 6 to let users become accustomed to using their own solution.
- mitchellhislop 14y agoApple seems to have moved away from disallowing apps for "duplicate core functionality" - we have GVoice, Sparrow, Camera+ now. I don't see how they could not allow it.
- kizza 14y agoApple could use the same data standard as Google does already: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference I'm sure the transit providers would be happy to provide the same feed to Apple and Google, but it looks like Apple want to make something new and incompatible.
