How To: Reinstall the Google Maps App on iOS 6 (And Your New iPhone 5)

For those of you still waiting for the new iPhone 5, you may be a little annoyed when you start using the new Maps application. If you're one of the many Apple users that has already updated your current iPhone to iOS 6, then you're probably already missing Google Maps. Image via futurecdn.net While the new Maps does have turn-by-turn directions and sweet 3D imaging for a few large cities, it misses out on everything that made Google Maps legit. Public transit routes—gone. Street-view—missing. High-res imaging of smaller towns & rural areas—no more? Looking for a walking or biking route? Good luck finding that option. Want accuracy? Well, you'll see what I mean when you try searching for directions.But you can still get Google Maps back!Google still provides a web app that you can download directly onto your iPhone in just a few seconds. Just open Safari or Chrome on your device and go to maps.google.com.

You should still be able get used to it in no time. You'll be happy you did, since Google is a lot better at finding what you're looking for.It has been unofficially confirmed that Google will be releasing a native Google Maps app for iOS soon, so this should hold you over until then.Update: If the only feature you're missing is google's location-based searching, the same functionality is baked into the Google Earth app, which you can download here.
