苹果正在积极寻找摆脱谷歌势力范围的方法，这是一个公开的秘密，iOS版的新iPhoto中可以找到一点证据：苹果提供的地图瓷砖被用于应用程序的一些功能中，而不是通常的谷歌地图。

问题是，它们不是苹果采购的。OpenStreetMap是一个类似维基百科（Wikipedia）的组织，它声称iPhoto“缺少必要的信用”来使用它的数据。此外，OSM表示，苹果使用的数据切割“相当陈旧”，这或许可以解释为什么该公司还没有放弃谷歌在iOS中提供更关键的地图功能：

Yesterday Apple launched iPhoto, its photo management app, for the iPad and iPhone... and we're rather pleased to find they're the latest to switch to OpenStreetMap.

The desktop version of iPhoto, and indeed all of Apple's iOS apps until now, use Google Maps. The new iPhoto for iOS, however, uses Apple's own map tiles - made from OpenStreetMap data (outside the US).

If you don't have iPhoto, you can view the maps using this unofficial viewer from Dair Grant or a transparent comparison from Ivan Sanchez.

The OSM data that Apple is using is rather old (start of April 2010) so don't expect to see your latest and greatest updates on there. It's also missing the necessary credit to OpenStreetMap's contributors; we look forward to working with Apple to get that on there.

But we're delighted to see another prominent map user make the switch to OpenStreetMap, and look forward to many more.

总体而言，OSM的信息似乎令人愉快，但我们仍在等待苹果对这些指控做出多快的回应。库珀蒂诺最近几年收购了多家地图公司——Poly9、Placebase和C3 Technologies——因此，谷歌地图是否会从iOS中消失并不是一个问题，而是一个何时以及OSM是否会长期考虑到这一因素的问题。
