A couple of days ago, Google Maps 7.0 APK for Android was released with the expectation of an iOS version soon to follow. Google also promised that the iPad version of their famed Maps app was coming and version 2.0 of Google Maps is now here.
Google Maps was released as an App Store app for the iPhone when Apple took the decison to give the Google powered native offering the boot, replacing it with their own Maps App when they released iOS 6. Google's releasing of Maps for iOS failed to meet all user needs due to its lack of support for the iPad. This however has changed and the Google Maps for iOS app is now universal and works on all iOS devices without any hassles.
This new universal app features an all new design for the iPad and is not just a scaled up version of the iPhone variant. The new Maps app also features enhanced navigation over its original release along with live traffic updates and incident reports. If you are one of the maany who rely on Google to get to your destination then you can be sure that you will be presented with even more enhanced data to guide you on your trip.
The all new Explore tab has also made its debut on iOS and this works in the same way as it does on Android devices: it allows users to quickly discover or explore popular local places. All the data is presented in a card style view and looks fantastic on both the iPhone and the iPad. This new app for iOS also features indoor maps. This is a great addition for those who don't want to get lost inside a giant mall.
Last but not least is the offline maps feature. Just like the Android version, all you have to do is fit your map area on the screen that you want to cache, tap the search button and type in �ok maps� in the search bar on the top and Google Maps will cache that area on your device so that it is available for offline use.
The Google Maps 2.0 app is now available at the app store and all mandatory bug fixes and performance enhancements are included so be sure to check it out.
