I keep hearing people say "They should have ran a Apple Maps (with Apple data) beta concurrent with the Apple Maps App with Google Data (the maps app in iOS 5 and below.)"

But they might not be able to ship another map application on iOS while they had the agreement with Google.

I think the terms of the agreement may have been unpalatable to Apple. (I'm still unclear about a maps on the web replacement.)

Also, who at Google decided to NOT build a maps application in house for a case like this? Google's lost about 100 million iOS users (based on upgrade numbers) in the past week. That can't be good for them, or their customers (the advertisers, not iOS users - who are the product.)

In the meantime Motion X, Garmin, TomTom, Waze,Mapquest,Navigon, and other mapping applications have an opportunity to fill this gap. Plus maps.google.com works pretty well for everything except turn by turn.

FYI :If you need street view on iOS there's an application called "Street View Live" that has it. It's not integrated, and it's not a full featured map, but it's something.
