Hacker claims successful port of Google Maps to jailbroken iOS 6

A hacker has managed to port Google Maps to iOS 6, although the ported app is still in its buggy, nascent stages and (obviously) requires a jailbroken iPhone.

iOS hacker and developer Ryan Petrich tweeted on Sunday that he was able to coax Google Maps to work on iOS 6 "with a little trickery." He includedd a short video showing Google Maps in action on an iPhone 3GS that had been upgraded to iOS 6.
