I told you a few weeks ago that the 3D map module of Google Maps is inferior to the maps offered by Apple, and the video clip above just comes to strengthen this idea. Although Apple has better 3D maps, the maps that matter are clearly inferior to Google's and unfortunately Apple has a very big problem here. Very few users will use 3D maps instead of normal ones, but Apple must be better in one aspect and it seems that the 3D maps of the FlyOver module ensure its supremacy.
It should not be forgotten that Google Maps is available in iOS 6 through the Google Earth application, which is a final version of the system, and Apple offers its map system only in beta version. Listed below are all the cities that have 3D maps through Google Maps and those that have 3D maps through the FlyOver system, as well as some relevant images (Google on the left and Apple on the right).
