It's unfortunate that we've had to take a step back in terms of accuracy but I can wait for Google Maps to be released for iPhone and keep my complaining to a minimum.
Even IF Google maps is released on iOS, you'll be sure that there will be no way that Apple would allow it to be set as the default map application. Really breaks the idea of a unified and functional phone experience when you have an app you don't want to use that you'll be forced to link into. Looking up a restaurant? Opens Apple maps. I wonder if Steve Jobs would have made this decision if he were still around. He was always about getting his best vision of experience on these products.
