There we have Apple trying to gain a foothold with Apple Maps and Microsoft with Windows Maps trying to stand up.

And for that nothing better than launching frequent updates that make your developments come closer to Google Maps and even try to steal users from the cause these applications to be used by default in their operating systems.I have to admit that in my case I have tried all three and I am still a fan of Google Maps and Google Earth, but Windows Maps is increasingly tempting, at least to keep it in mind.
