Android has vector graphics since 2010.
I could be mistaken but I've read that Android has had vector based maps in its app for awhile.

The Maps app on my phone is still based on tiles. But you're right, there's a new version with vector graphics.
There's a new huge undertaking of making a modern, competitive "Maps" product. Who'd have thought that when the first version ever is released, its data is not as accurate as a seven-year-old competitor's?
This is fucking ridiculous. Let's see how long it takes for Google to replace everything it has with vector graphics. You know, to get even with the iOS 6 Maps. Who's the incumbent in two years?
