Hello. When one searches for Google Maps for the iPad (not the iphone), no official Google Maps app shows up. What I do see are third party apps that use the Google Maps SDK. I purchased one, called iMaps I think it was. It works, has essential Street View, but works rather slowly. When I click on an address in an email or anywhere, the iPad still goes to Apple Maps -- which after a year of improvements is still sub par (no street view). You Tube, I don't care so much about. I downloaded something for iTunes which supposedly will let me go back to ios 5. Seems almost unlikely, but it might be worth the risk of trying.
