If you are looking for a place to lay your head down for some rest, the latest update to Google Maps that is rolling out is definitely geared toward you. The latest improvements include improved hotel search results, including “sponsored” rates and booking links. To help you get to the hotel quicker, Google has made it faster to access navigation and provides both route and traffic overview information. Sliding out the side menu will reveal a new option “Tips and Tricks” that will take you to a help page in your browser. Of course, Google includes the standard “bug fixes” as part of what is included in the update.
You can use the link below to head over to Google Play to try to grab the update if you have not already installed it.
Rather than add new features they need to fix it so that it’s at least as good as the older version, before they ruined the GUI and dumbed it down for Apple users. At the very least they need to make it more car-friendly, but apparently Google doesn’t realize that people use GPS software in cars.
this came out days ago actually.
