Google is launching its maps for Chicago Transit Authority. It will be very useful for tourist visiting Chicago. It is supposed to be an alternative for GPS , even though it cannot be replaced . Google plan to launch the same facility to 40 new cities. Coming later this year, of course, will be phones running the Google-backed Android software platform. It will certainly work on those.
On Monday, besides expectations of finally introducing an iPhone that runs on AT&T’s 3G network, Jobs is likely to showcase an upgrade to the maps application on the iPhone.
Will it be as useful as Google's? That may not matter since Google’s mobile apps already work well on the iPhone. We like choice, though.
