Since the update to iOS 6, I’ve found I really hate Apple Maps. Is there any way to get Google maps functionality back on my iPad/iDevice?
Hey Rich – thanks for the great question. There IS a way to get Google Maps back on your iOS 6-enabled iDevice, and it’s not too involved, either.
The first thing you’ll want to do is load up Safari and go to maps.google.com. When you get there, a message should pop up along the top that looks like this:
So, like the message says, tap the sharing arrow up at the top of the screen and choose Add to Home Screen.
This will put a Google Maps link on your home screen that you can use instead of Apple Maps. It uses your iDevice’s location services and everything!
Check it out!

I don’t like or use any of the online maps such as Google or Apple. When I want maps, I go to the king of maps, Rand-McNally and get the most accurate maps there are right on line.
Thanks for the tip. It was accurate and easy to install google maps on my home screen of my Ipad.
