Google Maps For iOS Updated To Version 1.1
Google has released its first update to Google Maps for iOS, bringing some features over from Android and the web.
Version 1.1, available on the App Store
on Tuesday, now allows users to search for addresses based on their
Google Contacts if they choose to log into their Google accounts.
Additionally, the app now allows users to search for general categories
like “restaurants,” “bars,” “gas stations,” and so on. Non-US users will
also rejoice at the ability to choose between kilometers and miles for
the app’s distance estimates.
Users can now sync up
previously-searched locations based on contact information, so if you
have an address saved under Mom, searching by name will point you to the
place on the map.
Google asks customers to note that some of these features “may not be available in all countries.”
Google Maps is a free download from the App Store.
