Upcoming Apple Maps To Include Yelp Ratings and Check-Ins

Apple has officially ditched Google Maps. When the company releases iOS 6 this fall, the latest iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices will come standard with Apple Maps. And instead of Zagat ratings and Google's user reviews, Apple Maps will be integrated with Yelp, a popular social network for rating local businesses. If the new map doesn't work out, at least you'll know where to send your complaints.
