I'd be surprised if Google Maps wasn't still available in the Apps Store, just not loaded by default.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Huh. I just found out that Google was not charging Apple for the use of Google Maps, but back in March they started charging large organizations (like Apple) for its use.
I wonder if they would charge Apple if Google Maps was installed from the App Store. If so, maybe Apple would remove the app from the App Store.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Google's profit has long been a mystery to me. I mean, right now, they give me money (not in an employee way, but in an ad way). They've paid for my Android hardware time and time over. It's magic, man, and I don't want it to stop.

I don't want it to stop either since they give me money in an employee way.

I really hope this is true, because I definitely use the walking feature more than anything else.

I thought I heard on NPR, that the google maps app would become available in the app store when it is no longer part of the base iOS. I wanna say that was on NPR, but dunno where I heard it, or if it was the hosts suggesting it.

I have a question about credit card processing using an iPhone. I've heard of Square and they charge 2.75% per transaction.
When I do a google search, it looks like there are others out there, I'm just looking for one with a good rep for a low cost to have a credit card payment option for a silent auction. Any suggestions?

I have the Square reader and it works great. I know that PayPal is introducing a competitor, but it's only a triangle. [link]
