For Google Maps, winter is coming. Potentially. As you've undoubtedly seen by now, with the upcoming iOS 6 software, Apple intends to replace the Google Maps aspect of their default Maps application with their own, in-house version. Mark Gurman of 9to5 Mac was the first to report this news, and dives into more of the detail behind it, including the 3D aspect.?John Paczkowski of AllThingsD confirmed the change. And after talking to my own source, I can beat the dead horse in confirming the switch. I've also heard a little bit more. First of all, iOS 6, which is expected to be shown off in developer preview form at WWDC in June, is internally codenamed "Sundance". Second, while?Paczkowski's source said the new maps functionality will "blow your head off", I've been told that's a bit of hyperbole (you think?). Specifically, while the 3D functionality is cool, it's also not something people are going to use regularly. Think of it like Google Street View ? cool, but how often do you actually use it when compared to the regular Google Maps product? (Having said that, I still expect Apple's 3D maps to be cooler than Google Street View.)elie wiesel giuliana rancic giuliana rancic temptations work hard play hard tim ferriss wmt
