You do realize Apple created the app, right? Google only provides the data.

But Google placed restrictions on how Apple could use the data. For example, Google did not allow Apple to have turn by turn navigation.

I'm not familiar, is Google specifically blocking Apple from using that data or have they simply not published an API for turn-by-turn yet?

Google requires a contract if you want to use their mapping data in applications or if you go over certain free limits (which Apple's app certainly did).

This contract allegedly contained terms that disallowed Apple from implementing Turn by Turn directions in their application.
