The kicker would be if Google put the app into the app store for like $1.99 or something.

- steevdave 14y agoIf they did I wouldn't hesitate one second to buy it. I posted a comment on here recently about all the steps I had to go through just to try to get bus directions now with the Apple Maps app. Even if it worked the number of times I have to tap something else just to get to the directions is silly. And not well integrated at all. With google maps its just get directions, where from, where to, what type of transportation, and then the arrow button (go). With apple it's get directions, then choose bus, then where from, where to, go, wait for the App Store to open, find the routing app you've purchased in the list, tap route, hope that the app got the directions correctly from the maps app (this step I've never completed successfully). And finally get the directions. There is a serious lack of integration.
- Achshar 14y agoIt would be a fun day if that happens but it is highly unlikely. All of google products are either free or ad supported. Ads (or all the other forms of revinue) are in the DNA of maps and they are definately not going to change the whole maps platform for a paid ios version of maps. Either that or release a paid maps that also has ads, make no sense.
