Apple is reportedly planning to incorporate its own 3D-mapping technology into iOS 6. Will rival Google beat it to the punch?

Google on Friday sent out invites for a press event next week in San Francisco where it promises to unveil "the next dimension of Google Maps," hinting it may also have some new 3D features on tap. The invite-only event is set for Wednesday, June 6 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific.

Google said it will give attendees a "behind-the-scenes look at Google Maps." The Web giant will also "demo some of the newest technology and provide a sneak peek at upcoming features that will help people get where they want to go – both physically and virtually."
