The New Google Maps v7.0 Update for Android OS

The new Google Maps update for Android

Google just released the latest version of Google Maps v7.0 for Android devices running an OS version 4.0.3 and later. The update brings a new clean & more stylish user interface for both – smartphones and tablets, dynamic re-routing, live traffic updates, incident reports, the new “Explore” function to find places to eat, drink or shop and lots more new features.

Just like in the iOS version, if you find any errors or something different from the maps, there’s a feature to send a report to Google just with a shake of your phone.

Of course, some of the old stuff is missing – My Maps and Latitude are just removed and sharing places now can be done via Google+. To start using the offline maps feature, you need to type “OK Maps” in the search field and the map will be downloaded automatically.
