Google Maps for Android updated, simplifies navigation menu

Google Maps for Android updated, simplifies navigation menu

Source : (Droid-Life)

Google Maps for Android gets updated to version 6.4.0, adding simplified and better design to Google Navigation options menu for devices currently running Android ICS 4.0. Google has made an endeavor to remove the old geeky vertical menu, which used to pop out while we used to press the menu button, while bringing a new grid based approach. Google Maps is one app that most of us would like to use either for navigation, address resolution, search on the go, or even just for fun. Recently we saw Google introducing Indoor Maps that even make our experience more intuitive and interactive, the feature is still limited to US and a few more regions, I hope that I arrives globally soon as it would involve new location based action, curiosity and joy to explore more stuff. I even await for an ICS update for my Sony neo v that would allow me to checkout ICS based apps more often, For readers who still haven’t had a hands on the brilliant app can download the same from the Google Play store using this link.
