Google Maps returns to iOS with an all-new app

After the release of iOS 6, many iDevice users found themselves frustrated with Apple’s new stock Maps app. Complaints varied from inaccurate directions to certain places simply not existing at all, and many users were very keen for Google to bring their mapping service back to iOS through the App Store. It has taken some time for this to happen, but it’s finally here — Google Maps is now available from the App Store as a free download — though presently not in an iPad-optimized format.

Those expecting a simple return of the old iOS Google Maps app in separately-downloadable form may be in for something of a surprise, however — Google Maps for iOS has been completely revamped and redesigned, and now bears very little resemblance to its former incarnation.
