Google Maps 3.0
With the Google Maps app for iPhone and iPad, navigating the world is even easier and faster. Discover the best places in the city and get the information you need to get there.
WHAT'S NEW IN GOOGLE MAPS 3.0.0:
These are the new functions available in this new version:
Turn-by-turn navigation now shows distance, arrival time and quick access to alternative routes.
Save offline maps to a custom list for when you're traveling or don't have a stable connection (We need to log in).
Public transport results now show the total walking time of your trip and the next scheduled bus or train.
Log in to see your “Sites to add reviews” list of sites you've recently saved or searched for information about.
- If you have installed the Uber app, you can open it directly in Google Maps by comparing the route options
They have also included things that users of this app have requested, such as:
- Access the contacts of your iPhone or iPad directly from the application Google Maps
- Hold anywhere on the map to place a marker, save that location and share it
- Search without using the keyboard with Google Voice Search
- The scale bar allows you to calculate the distances on the map
The highlight of this update is, for us, the inclusion of distance, arrival time and quick access to alternative routes when planning a route. These are functions that GPS have but we missed in Google Maps
The theme of offline maps is also very good, but in order to access them we must log in. It is also a topic that we discussed a few months ago and already then you could save the maps to use them offline, as we explained in this tutorial.
All the other improvements are welcome and substantially improve the application, which with this version 3.0 has once again taken a leap and distanced itself from its competitors. Undoubtedly the best of the APP STORE (If you want to know more about her, click HERE).
