Oh boy! Here we go:

Ever since iOS 6 came out, we lost native access to Google Maps on the iPhone. — However, Google has been rumored to be hard at work on their own replacement, and it's now in the “alpha” build stage… edging closer towards a public release!
Some more details:
- It's vector-based.
- It's got two-finger rotation to any angle.
- It's super-fast.
- The taller (4-inch) screen-size of the iPhone 5 is supported!
… Sounds awesome. 👍🏻 — A few more shots of the alpha:


Get excited.
