Apple may be bringing its upcoming Apple Maps not just to mobile devices on iOS, but also to Macs running the latest OS X Mountain Lion.
According to developer Cody Cooper, several lines of code point to Apple Maps working on the latest Intel Chipset in the MacBook Pro and Air product lines. According to Cooper, as he told TechPP, this doesn’t necessarily mean that older Macs won’t have access to the maps service, but because of shading support on different components.
It’s not too far-fetched to imagine Apple Maps coming to OS X, but there might even be a possibility that Maps could end up on Windows machines eventually (there are more iPhone/iPad owners with Windows-based computers than Macs); Putting iTunes on Windows was universally lauded as an all-around good decision.
Apple has been very vocal about adding the best parts of iOS to their desktop computers, so it's certainly possible we could see Google competitors, like Maps or Siri, hit OS X sooner, rather than later.
