If Google's new Google Maps app is approved, it will mean iPhone owners have a wide choice of alternatives to Apple's built-in app. Nokia, for instance, this week announced its well-regard mapping service, rebranded Here, will be available as an iOS app in a few weeks, and Apple has created a new section in the App Store dedicated to alternatives.
When problems with Apple's Maps app emerged, some iPhone users continued using Google Maps via their web browser. It was recently claimed that Google executives were "not optimistic" their new native iOS Google Maps app would be approved, but Apple will be under strong pressure to allow it into the App Store, and leaks about its near-complete development will add to the load.
Apple is meanwhile also regularly updating its Maps app with more accurate data.
