Comparison of 3D Maps, in iOS 6 and on the Google
Earth in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Out there in the
marketplace of the tablet and the smart phone industry there is a strong
competition and the secrets are not a big deal now. The big giants like the
Apple and the Google with their operating systems, the iOS and the Android are
the top big league players presently in the world, the numbers itself speaks
for these two. As on each day the Google activates around 1 million android
devices and the Apple selling 250 million iPhones from past five years and with
the original launch of the new iPhone the numbers are still growing.
The latest
surprise from Apple at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2012 was the announcing
of its own mapping system in its iOS 6 new versions of iPhone and leaving out
the Google Maps. This has even made a very strong competition between the
rivals. But, Google put up a head on competition by announcing the new Google
Earth version 7.0, bringing amazing 3D maps to its Android smart phones and
tablets too. This 3D Map announcement was made in San Francisco, firstly by Apple and then
followed by Google.
Good options for
consumers as these two, iOS 6 and the Android operating systems making the
availability of 3D maps to the devices. But which one will be the best and we
all know about the Google Earth and Google Maps and used it once in a while or
even often and Apple introducing its own mapping system is new to this mapping
game and also consumers will be excited to see the Apple’s 3D maps, as Apple
has a history producing excellent user experience software. So, will its own 3D
maps solution meet the same trend?
The comparisons
are put up to view by people of iPhoneItalia to you to see the differences
between the two maps of the iOS 6 and Android 4.1 in the images below. First of
the difference is the Apple’s vector maps having a built in 3D button
displaying at the bottom and in the Android it is available in Google Earth app
or the Google Maps app and a simple tap on the “3D Buildings” button your into
viewing the 3D maps.
The other thing
is Apple’s 3D maps will be available in the iOS 6 new iPhone and the launch of
its new iPhone is due this year and it will be offering a beta version and not
ready for real-time use, so until then consumers need to still wait to see this.
And for the new 3D maps view in Android devices, Google has made it available
and is been planning it for long time so it’s a no surprise from Google but has
put up a good strong response.
