The new, Apple-developed map application will include driving directions and walking directions, but no transit information, at least not standard. Instead, if you want to figure out how to get somewhere without driving, users will have to download a third-party application.
I wondered whether Apple was switching from Google-provided maps data to other data as a giant FUCK YOU to Google or whether maps was really something strategic that Apple felt it should be controlling in its users iOS devices. The answer has arrived: Apple doesn’t care about doing a better job than Google in maps; they care primarily about not using Google’s maps.
