What is different about the new Google Maps for iOS

GoogleMaps-Logo Apple’s decision to remove the Google Maps application to their arsenal after iOS native app actually talked a lot before and after he spoke a lot to do when it was replaced by the creation of the maps app from Apple. He did not live up to the hype, and people are not happy.
What /> Google Maps has supported it for many years of data. Apple was in its infancy in business cards and try to develop a plan that has all the directions to all the places imaginable. The new application was bound to fail, and that, as CEO Tim Cook even publicly apologize and give users an alternative, but certainly not in Google Maps. Anyway, Google Maps for iOS has been reissued in a package much more attractive. The question is whether it’s better than before, and if it’s better than the Apple Maps.

GoogleMaps-SigningIn first, the new Google Maps application is different from previous versions. He asks you to log into your Google account. It allows you to record and track your goals. Litigation, however, suggests that it is illegal for Google to track this information.

GoogleMaps-PersonIcon

Click the icon to the top allows you to update your personal address. You can enter an address and place of employment. It has a picture of me in there automatically because my Google account. If you click on the gear icon, you can go into the settings and change the address, as well as view and edit your story Maps. A bit surprising, not only covers what I have been looking for this application, but all I’ve Googled the address was logged into my account on the computer. It’s a bit like going through the memory.

GoogleMaps-ViewChoices

If you click on the three dots along the edges on the bottom right, it contains display options. You can switch between standard view and satellite view, have the event traffic and transportation, and also attract Google Earth. Google obviously has not had time to implement full 3D view like Apple did, he did the next best thing, which implements the Google Earth application.

Search-GoogleMaps To search allows you to find your destination. It shows a list of your previous searches. You can also find a starting point if you are not from your home or your current location by clicking on the “Y-in-the-road” icon next to the icon. This shows once again that the list of previous searches.

GoogleMaps-Turn

Previously, once you’ve found your route, which you take as far as Google Maps. Now, it will take you through a turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance. You can skip this step by step guide lists the sound on or off by clicking on the three dots in the lower right corner. I really need to start driving in my car to “turn on” and out of preview mode. This did not click right away either. I had to go five blocks or more than two laps before clicking the preview mode. Surprisingly, this view is very similar to the Apple app charts.

It seems that Apple has done is light a fire under Google. They were happy to not make many changes to their applications, because it seems they are on the market in this regard. They do not see others come to take their positions on iOS. As a re-release, however, they have made major changes that have been made previously. Apple does not really need their own Maps app, they just need to give Google reason to change the existing map. It will take some time before everyone can be trusted Apple card, and at that point, they could re-use the Google Maps application.
