Developer Ben Guild has posted images
that are being dubbed as the leaked screenshots of an iPhone running a
native version Google Maps, which the developer claims to be in alpha
stage. According to Guild, the new app is vector-based and comes with
the ability to use two-finger rotation to get any angle on the app.
Guild adds the apps is “super fast”and supports iPhone 5's 4-inch
screen.
According to reports, Google will be adding 'Google Earth'
to the app as well, which many believe will help Google gain edge over
Apple's new but flaw native Maps app with better data. There's no word
on when Google's standalone Maps app for iOS will be released.

Rumours of Google working on a Maps app come days after Apple irked its customers by dumping Google Maps from its latest platform iOS 6, and compelling them to use Apple's app that was widely criticised for being inaccurate and flawed
as compared to Google's app. Harsh criticism over the beleaguered map
application compelled Apple to issue a rare apology to users, saying the
company was “extremely sorry” over the situation, promised to revamp
the service.
In one of our weekly polls, we had
sought opinion of our readers on future of Apple's Maps. Majority said
that Apple won't be able to catch up with Google Maps by end of this
year.
