Ah that's strange, I wonder why that is. I installed it from the app store a while back before it was removed, which is why I still have it on my phone. Not sure why they did that.

Apple has a competing Map app, just sayin’.

Meh, if that were the reason Google Maps would also be unavailable

Size matters.

Besides, Apple and Google conspi….rrr…collaborate on other projects and standards; can’t have an app queering that.

Fair point, and made me laugh

If that was actually the reason, Apple wouldn't have allowed OsmAnd Maps, Maps.me, etc. and yet they're in the US app store.

It’s on the UK iOS store
