the finnish company recently launched its own free maps app for the iphone.
the firms are motivated in part by a desire to gather data automatically generated by handsets using their respective software, as well as users' own feedback.
this allows them to fine-tune their services and improve the accuracy of features such as traffic status updates.

features google has introduced that were not available in its earlier iphone app include:
voice guided turn-by-turn directions, with estimated travel times.
indoor 3 images of buildings that have signed up to its street view business photos service
3d representations of the outlines of buildings that can be viewed from different angles
vector-based 4 based on mathematical lines and points rather than pre-created bitmap graphics, making it quicker to 5 in and out of an area.
among the facilities google's iphone app lacks that are present in its android equivalent are indoor maps, the ability to download maps for offline viewing, and voice search.
