For me, the missing piece in Google Maps is that it does not integrate with my contacts. Most of my searches are based on contacts. Probably coming in v2. Otherwise pretty solid.


I saw this too and found it to be a bummer. Does it work with Gmail contacts if you log in?

I hope they'll integrate the local iOS address book with the next version.


Is it possible at all in the current version of iOS? I had an impression that all default apps are Apple's and it cannot be changed.


The in-app search widget could allow you to type in names of contacts. It doesn't at the moment. Well. It does, but it doesn't actually search for the contacts address


I see, I thought you wanted to open Google maps from contacts app.
