Google Maps improve GPS navigation

Google has updated its Maps app for Android smartphones and tablets. It enriches traffic aids and new recommendations. A version for iPhone and iPad will be available later.

This major update to the Google Maps app primarily improves the GPS navigation function with reports on traffic problems, but also alerts if a better route is available. In fact, Maps is positioned more as an alternative to GPS and other warning of "danger zones."

Maps also provides access to a completed order to find places to eat based POI, drinking, sleeping or shopping. The application also full of recommendations, through services like Zagat or Google Offers, integrated with search results. If Zagat allows to discover the interests (rated) close, Google Offers can benefit from the latest deals, easily located.

The feature "offline maps" for Android disappeared although it is still possible to view maps without being connected, by registering in advance. Simply enter "OK Maps" in the search box before submitting. The card is automatically cached.

This version can be downloaded for free on Google Play. It is compatible with devices with Android Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.
