Hesham Al-Jehani, Europe mobile product manager for ComScore, noted: "the Google Map figures are only based on those who use the app using an operator data network, so it doesn't include those who use it only on a Wi-Fi connection." But he thinks the latter "is probably not that many and shouldn't affect the trend." The data about app use is collected anonymously from mobile operators. European numbersĪccording to ComScore's European data, in the UK in October 2012 Google Maps usage on iPhone was 6.07m users - against no measurable number for Apple's Maps app. The data for the latest figures was collected via the GSMA Mobile Metrics measurement product, so measures the app being used if someone queries map data while not connected to a Wi-Fi network.

On the iPhone, in addition, it's particularly hard to do so without "jailbreaking" the device though on a standard phone one can use different mapping apps, any geographic link in an email or calendar appointment will open in Apple's app.īut when the Guardian published that data, some queried the data collection (though ComScore's methodology is robust). If it is not clear, then tap ‘pick a place’ and search for an address or place.Perhaps it was entirely predictable that Apple's Maps app for the iPhone would garner millions of users as soon as it became available enough, according to ComScore, for Google to lose 23m users in the US.Īfter all, Apple Maps became the default on the iPhone - and most people don't change defaults.If it is understandable that where your photo or video is from, Google Maps will select a place for you.Step 5: You have to select where to post: Step 4: Now, you have to post to Google Maps.
