The long awaited Google Maps app for iOS devices FINALLY hit the App Store tonight! Although people have been having fewer and fewer problems with Apple’s Map app, Google still is king of maps, especially with the public transit maps.

And the cool thing is, even if you have an iPhone 4 or 3GS, you get turn-by-turn voice navigation (unlike Apple’s Maps app where you need at least the iPhone 4S for voice navigation)!

You will have to have at least iOS 5.1 installed, though.

Also, you will most likely need to click on this link to get it in the App Store:

It didn’t show up in the App Store search when I did a search for it, probably because it is so new to the store.

Here is the description of the app from the App Store:

Get comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps with built-in Google local search, voice guided turn-by-turn navigation, public transit directions, Street View and more.
