Google has announced a new version of Google Maps for iOS and Android that unifies the experience on both platforms and also be optimized to give the best of himself on tablets, including the iPad.
Another service that has not “want to lose” the keynote opening of the Google I / O 2013 is Google Maps . We expected developments in Google Maps since we saw this morning that had leaked some details regarding the news of the Google Maps service. 200 countries are already mapped in the service, whether directly through Google or through third-party data and the 200th country was none other than the “great unknown” North Korea and, with respect to Street View, and 50 countries are photographed at street level.
However, Google Maps milestones would not be the only star in this keynote and it came time to talk about the new generation of Google Maps . One of the strengths of Google Maps is the information stored to offer routes or locate sites with a view to maximizing the value we can draw from these data, Google has announced a new version of Google Maps for mobile both Android and iOS .
In this new version of Google Maps, users can locate establishments, access location information (chips as those found in the search) since the information that we find will be the same as we see in the form that is, all such information shall be horizontal geo Google services. And also important not to forget that iOS and Android finally have a homogenized user experience because the application will offer the same functionality on both platforms.
addition to improving Google Maps for iOS and Android and upload local content (a whole pulse against services like Yelp or Foursquare), another new shown is that of the browser , ie GPS navigation using Google Maps. While Google Maps and offered us traffic information (whether on average and in some cases, real-time), this information is integrated from now in the browser with the idea to further optimize and improve navigation routes “step by step”.
Another interesting detail is that Google we offer an experience optimized for tablets where you will build the screen size of these devices, an improvement that will come this summer both Android tablets and the iPad.
very interesting evolution of Google Maps that certainly puts a clear advantage in the field of geolocation and maps in the area of ??mobility. Much will have to improve if Apple maps actually aspire to surpass Google Maps.
