One bad experience can change the perception. Interesting snub at Google by recommending Bing maps over Google :)

- tlack 14y agoThat may have just been because they want to emphasize a native mobile app rather than HTML5-based mobile experiences, and Google has not yet released their own native maps app for iOS.
- blhack 14y agoAre you sure about that? Doesn't google have a maps application that is pending approval in the app store?
- reaganing 14y agoNo, it's still being built and is probably months away[1] [1]: http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/25/3407614/apple-over-a-year-left-on-google-maps-contract-google-maps-ios-app http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/25/3407614/apple-over-a-year-...
- metamatt 14y agoActually, the open letter also recommends Google and Nokia maps, via their websites (because native apps don't exist). BTW: Am I the only one that thinks it's fishy that Google's claiming (a) they only had 3 months notice of this change and (b) 3 months isn't enough to produce their own iOS maps app? I don't believe either of those claims.
- icarus127 14y agoWhy would it matter? If they decide to not release a maps app at all that would be their prerogative.
