New Google Maps App Restores Order to the Universe - Businessweek

And when Google Now is available for iOS, synchronized Google services will be used for personal predictive analytics so that you won't have to ask for directions; Now will simply tell you where to go, based on your search and other personal activity history; eventually, it'll just tell you when it's time to wake up and get into your self-driving Google car...
"You also lose Siri integration, so you can’t activate Google Maps by voice. That’s a bummer, but not a dealbreaker. Google Maps more than compensates for that by linking to your Google account, so any Maps search you’ve performed on your PC will be listed in the history of the Google Maps app. This is particularly helpful if you’re planning a trip: You can find your destinations on your laptop or tablet at home (which is easier than entering all that info on a tiny touch screen), and all your places will be a tap away on your phone when you get in the car."
