It appears the idea of Apple mapping predates Cook as CEO. Check out:

9to5mac.com

Note the date of the article is October 2011 and it references a buy of 3D mapper Poly 9 a year earlier - then a buy of the Swedish 3D mapper C3 Technologies in August 2011.

It looks like Jobs was serious about ditching Google maps. I imagine the coordination of all the players might have been quite tricky.
