    It’s no secret that Apple’s new iOS 6 Maps application is a big disappointment.  The firm reacted quickly to the news by posting new positions for developers, and TechCrunch has learned that the company is already hiring former Google Maps employees from an inside source.

    While Apple may have enough cash to improve their new application, they have a lot of ground to make up if they plan to match Google Maps and their 7000+ workforce.
