But it would also be a huge marketing win if Google Maps became the go-to mapping application despite Apple's version being a core application and one of the most trumpeted new features in iOS.


Why? Google Maps is excellent. I'm not sure they need "marketing" in any way.


I'm talking about negative press towards Apple being a relative positive for Google. If in 6 months the first thing new iPhone users do is install the Google Maps app and hide the built-in Apple solution, then at least that portion of iOS 6 will be deemed a failure.
