- aspratley 14y agoWas it just rumour that Nokia (presumably Navteq) were going to be suppling maps to the Kindle Fire? Is that underpinning the new API?
- sbarre 14y agoI agree. The loss of Street View is actually one of the biggest downsides of iOS 6 in my mind. Although I assume Google will release their own Maps app for iOS, but since Apple doesn't let you remove their built-in apps, I'm stuck with 2 maps icons, and no doubt clicking an address in any other app will load the Apple Maps app and not Google Maps. edit: ehh sorry I just realized this is pretty off-topic. :-(
- RandallBrown 14y agoHave you ever used street view on mobile? I haven't. I don't think they're trying to compete with Google Maps in general. Just trying to give their developers a map API to use.
