Maps were acquired from Saab defense division.

Also first Google maps for IOS were created in collaboration between Google and Apple, where Apple provided it's design power and Google provided technology. I think Google didn't want to collaborate with Apple for future google maps so they break apart.
From 2012. Wasn't apple maps a huge dumpster fire back then?
Can’t speak to back then since I just got my first iPhone but I might like Maps more than Waze and certainly more that googles maps.
