Yesterday, a lot of Windows Phone users found that they can not re-use the WP phone's built-in IE browser to access the mobile web version of Google Maps to query the map. At the first beginning people thought this may be a bug of Google, because despite maps.google.comnot open the mobile version of the website, but it can be used maps.google.co.uk this kind of local address to access.
A Google Spokesperson said:
"The mobile web version of Google Maps is optimized for WebKit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. However, since Internet Explorer is not a WebKit browser, Windows Phone devices are not able to access Google Maps for the mobile web."
First of all, it can not be explained Why maps.google.co.uk can use, and secondly, we also found that the IE browser that comes with Windows 8 system can also visit maps.google.com map service. So Microsoft spokesman gave Google a fatal blow:
A Microsoft spokesperson has responded to Google saying that:
“Internet Explorer in Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 use the same rendering engine.”
The fact is obvious: Google banned Windows Phone's IE browser to access Google Maps mobile website makes Windows Phone users, just as they have done before, Google Sync is disabled and unable to send Gmail messages on the phone with the same purpose.
