Google's new Maps is very different
from the previous version in terms of interface and design. Google Maps
for iPad and iPhone has also been updated.
Google had given a preview of an updated web interface of its Google Maps at its I/O event.
Previously accessible on invite-only basis, the new interface has
been now made available to all users. The updated interface has deeper
Google Earth and Street View integration, and is in line with Google's
other services.
The new Google Maps lets you draw a tailored map forevery search
and clicks you make. Google has also made the Maps more interactive.
Clicking anywhere will focus the map on that location and show you
helpful things, like related places and the best ways to get there.
Google says the new Maps get better with
the use. “As you search the map, star places you like and leave
reviews, the map starts to adapt and can suggest things like restaurants
you might enjoy or the quickest way home. In other words, the more you
use the new Google Maps, the more helpful it becomes,” says Google.
Google's update to Maps is based on the vector data instead of graphical tiles, which makes the Maps to load faster. There's a new “Zoom out”
feature that allows you to zoom out to outerspace. With the deeper
integration of Street View, users have the option to take photo tours of
any location. Moreover, users can check out public transport options
with comparison charts that show differences in the travel time.
