Developer Hacks Google Maps to Work on iOS 6 [VIDEO]

Famed Canadian iOS hacker Ryan Petrich has managed to port Google Maps over to iOS 6, and previewed the early version on YouTube. Here’s what Petrich had to say in his video description:

Apple’s new maps have come under criticism for being released as an unpolished version compared to the former Google Maps. In our own tests, Google Maps still fares better than Apple Maps in search queries and maps details at zoomed in levels.

How has your experience been with Apple’s new maps?
