Цитата:

The appearance of Yandex as the company powering Apple's Maps service in Russia was first discovered by Russian tech bloggers (here's one, and here's another). The Yandex integration is appearing in the Gold Master version of iOS6 used by developers; it will be widely available to Russian users on September 19. Yandex is not commenting on the matter.

Yandex's geosearch API works like this: When users are looking for details on Apple's Maps service, Yandex's geosearch API powers that that search, providing information about restaurants, shops, streets, and so on. If a user wants more detail on a place, there is a Yandex button at the bottom of the listing; clicking through takes the user to the Yandex.Map app — Yandex's standalone native mapping app. If a user doesn't have that app installed, they are redirected to the App Store to download it.

Yandex's mapping API works for all users in Russia, as well as those who use Apple Maps elsewhere to source mapping information about Russia.
