Well I hope so, not sure how google maps are in the USA but in Australia they are out of date, not sure by how much, maybe a year.

It would be people in paddocks all over again]]>Apr 23rd 2010 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/Apr 23rd 2010 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/Apr 23rd 2010 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/
What does the iPhone use right now?

Apple own's navigation software?

It gets the job done for me anyways. I don't understand why the Apple Haters care so much. Its not like they'd buy an iPhone even if Google maps was on it...]]>Apr 23rd 2010 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/
Charging for it wouldn't stick it to Jobs, he would just make more money on the cut.

If Google wanted to "stick it" to Apple, they would just stop supporting the iPhone platform altogether.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/The iPhone doesn't have any (free or pre-installed) navigation software. It has Google Maps but not with Navigation like Android does. I can give you directions, just like Google Maps on a PC, but no turn-by-turn or spoken directions.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/Apr 23rd 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/
so, "other platforms" automatically means apple? i'd see it coming to every other platform out there before it hits apple....just sayin, not hatin]]>Apr 23rd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/

Google does in fact make money from Google Maps.

I like Android n' all, but I'll keep my GPU-acceleration and smooth user interface, not to mention my faster and more secure built-in storage. I don't mind having 180k apps to choose from either, or the awesome jailbreak community. :)]]>Apr 23rd 2010 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/google-maps-navigation-could-come-to-iphone-other-platforms-soo/

Google wants as far reach as possible, and if that means providing in platforms rival to their own, I'm sure they won't hesitate to do it.

However, given the current sour relationship with Apple, I'm not so sure it will happen for iPhone OS 4.0.
