You can still use Google's maps - on the Web. Visit maps.google.com and accept the offer to create a Home-screen icon for you. You won't get spoken directions, but you'll get written directions, public transportation details, live traffic reports and, of course, Google's far superior maps and data.

Notably, the article also confirms a previous report that said a native Google Maps app for iOS is a couple months away.
