iOS iPhoto Not Using Google Maps?

Great spot by Stephen Hackett. At first I assumed they were just Google Maps in landscape mode. But looking closer, these definitely do not look like they’re using Google Maps (unless Apple hacked them up, added their own stuff, and de-branded them for some reason).

As I wrote just last week re: Google Maps:

I think it’s quite possible that the only reason Apple hasn’t switched to another alternative at this point is because they continue to work on their own solution.

That work may be farther along than any of us thought…
