Navigation may appear on Google Maps for iOS

According to the Wall Street Journal – which gained access to a trial version of Google Maps for iOS – the Google maps application should rely on Navigation, the GPS navigation system connected to the internet and guided by voice.

β€œThe next Google Maps app for the iPhone is expected to include turn-by-turn navigation that allows people to use it as a GPS device while driving, said the person familiar with the matter,” published the American newspaper .

β€œThe turn-by-turn navigation feature did not exist in the previous version of the Apple device, in part because of several differences between companies and other aspects controlled by Apple.”

A few months ago, the blog All Things D published an article in which it put Navigation as a disruptor of agreements between Google and Apple, which would have led Apple to develop its own map service.
