Loading ...Looks like Apple is thinking of replacing Google Maps app in iPhone with their own. Just a rumor as of now, but it might come true if you read this job posting which was put up by Apple looking for an iPhone Software Engineer to join the iPhone and iPod Touch Maps team with the goal of taking the iPhone’s built-in Maps App to “the next level”:
We want to take Maps to the next level, rethink how users use Maps and change the way people find things. We want to do this in a seamless, highly interactive and enjoyable way. We’ve only just started.
It doesn’t talk about replacing Google Maps, but is clear that it wants changes that “rethink how users use Maps” with new features. If you remember, just a few months back Apple acquired Placebase, whose expertise in map overlays is being brought to a mapping team likely to be working on iPhone updates. Now that iPhone 4G is already getting tested, would the new Maps happen sooner than later? Lets wait and watch.
