Google Preps Maps App for Apple Devices
The head-to-head battle between Apple Inc. and Google Inc. in mobile maps is drawing nearer.
Google has distributed a test version of its new mapping app that will work on Apple’s iPhones and iPads to some individuals outside the company, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter. Google has been putting the finishing touches on the app before submitting it for approval to the Apple iTunes store, this person said, though it is unclear exactly when that will happen.
