November 12, 2013 By LBSzone

The majority of iOS users are continuing to use Apple’s Maps, while less than half of all smartphone users are using Google Maps.

That’s a shift from over 78 percent of all Android and iOS mobile users on Google Maps to just short of 43 percent in one year. On iOS, 35 million users pulled up Apple Maps in the month, out of a total population of 60.1 million users: more than 58 percent.
