Legal disclaimers in iOS 5 appear to support the idea that Apple has been developing its own custom mapping technology. The beta firmware has a set of new "Map Data" disclaimers, separate from those belonging to Google. While both listings mention third-party companies, many of the ones under Map Data are not associated with Google. A key example is Waze, which does real-time mapping and traffic information using crowd-sourced data, but has had to compete with Google Maps.
