Google has announced the launch of Google Maps for mobile 4.4, introducing an easier way to find places around you: a dedicated Places icon that lets you quickly look up nearby places and pick a place to go using updated Place Pages, just like on your computer. On Android-powered phones with Google Maps 4.4, users will find the new Places icon in the app launcher with the rest of their apps. Users can now press and drag it right onto their home screen to use it when they are looking for a restaurant, shoe store, movie theater or any other type of local business. They'll get a detailed list of all the nearest places and can choose one to learn more about it on its Place Page. Search for several convenient types of places with the default categories or add your own for your most frequent searches. Users can also use the search bar at the top to type or speak any query. |
