Google Maps seems to have found its way onto iOS 6 with help from a hacker, though it's not quite ready for its public debut.
Self-proclaimed iOS hacker and engineer Ryan Petrich tweeted yesterday that he was able to coax Google Maps to work on iOS 6 "with a little trickery." Though mum about his methods, he said that he was able to port the iOS 5.1 version of Google's app to run on an iPhone 3GS that had been updated to iOS 6. Petrich also included a short video clip showing Google Maps in action on Apple's new mobile OS.
Before iOS users get too excited, there are a few caveats. Retrich admitted that the port is prone to crashes and that it can't yet be distributed to the public. And apparently, your mobile device must be jailbroken for the hack to even work.
