It's been a while i have been begging for a version of Google maps in Israel. I knew it was coming following conversations with different Google representatives, but i did know when. It is beginning to be available now, but only in Hebrew. I have not checked yet if it works from my iPhone (for now i use Freemap), but overall this is a good news since i am not happy with neither of local map services (emap is catastrophic, mapa is ok but only in hebrew and too complicated,...).
Israel was of course on Google map way before, but with zero level of granularity and information (check this picture for example)
So here is an example of a map of Israel with street names in Hebrew. Here is for example the place i am talking about social network this pm
