Google's awaited new maps app has finally hit the App store for iPhone. Some iOS 6 users are still unhappy because there is no way to make Google's Maps app the default maps app.

The new Google Maps also offeres a number of enhancements beyond what was offered when it powered the built-in Maps app on iOS 5 and earlier, most notably turn-by-turn directions. The absense of that feature from the built-in Maps had been a big let down for the two companies, with its absence putting iOS at a disadvantage relative to Android and Google unwilling to add the feature to Maps for iOS unless Apple made concessions such as greater Google branding within the app and integration with Google Latitude.

"Navigate your world with Google Maps, now available for iPhone. Get comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps with built-in Google local search, voice guided turn-by-turn navigation, public transit directions, Street View and more. Use Google Maps to discover great places to eat, drink, shop and play, with ratings and reviews from people you trust. Sign in to save your favorite places and quickly access all your past searches and directions from your computer, right on your phone."

A number of reports had indicated that Google was working toward submission of its standalone Maps app, but some Google employees were reportedly pessimistic about its chances of approval. [Google Maps iTunes Link]

It looks like Google is still improving its Maps and Earth by adding high-resolution imagery. The company announced that it's added better aerial and satellite photos for 25 cities and 72 regions or countries. You can see the full list on the Lat Long blog. Several parts of Spain and the US have new high-resolution aerial imagery, and Brazil, China, Mexico, and many other countries have new satellite pictures. There's a new 45-degree imagery in 21 US cities and seven elsewhere.

45-degree imagery is what Google uses to build its 3D models. Bing Maps got a big update recently by adding a high resolution database, and also adding 230,004 square kilometres of territory.
