    By the way, Google Maps ?was first announced on the Google Blog on February 8, 2005, and was located at http://maps.google.com/. It originally only supported users of Internet Explorer and Mozilla web browsers, but support for Opera and Safari was added on February 25, 2005.*
    A year and a half before Schmidt was elected to the board.
    Are you suggesting that Apple nefariously gave only Google the API's because of their relationship with Google and in particular, because Schmidt was on the board? Could you supply evidence of such?



    FYI: In partnership with Google Maps, Apple has made the core of the map application available free to developers, so they can consider using them in the applications they intend to build. Included are all the features currently in Google Maps: regular map view, topographic view, and street view; annotations and location tracking is also in the SDK.?

    That is a direct violation of the Apple's Application Guidelines and yet it's still in the App Store. Care to explain why? And make sure you provide evidence.

    No it isn't.



    As we discussed on the next page to your link, back late last November*, nothing nefarious here.



    Keep in mind, Apple and Google were partners and co-developing the API at the time as reported last March.† One report in February indicated that Google Maps didn't work on the new Safari at the time but did on other browsers **



    And for some claiming the association with Schmidt gave the Google a headsup, perhaps the relationship has not been so cordial, as recently reported, i.e., "Apple Screws Google Over 'Latitude' iPhone App"***
