New Google Maps

Google Maps today is quite a great tool for what it’s supposed to do now, and you can navigate from location A to location B. Month back, I really enjoy the apps when I was in Europe. I get into a place that never been before and still can enjoy travelling with the help of the great Google Maps.  But things will never been so complete if Google enhance the maps to cater what a traveller needs. I got my feeling that Google Maps will be more advance with shop’s review because it bought Zagat and also getting better with street view and so on. And it finally here, today I am going to talk a little bit of New Google Maps.

I requested for New Google Maps preview since they introduced it in Google I/O, and it finally granted me to have a look on the great new Google Maps.

Here is the new look of Google Maps:-

Some of them name it your maps as it will collect your data and you can save all the information into this so called “your Maps” meaning that Google will create a specific maps under your name and you can then utilize the maps for your own data and the maps will adapt to the things that interest you, including restaurants you've been to, ones that you might like and what your friends have done. 

A new and smarter search box is the first thing you should use to search for direction or a point that you want to search. The box will give you some suggestion based on your browsing data:- 

Just search any keyword that you require and it will show up some of the location base on the area you searched. 

You can get more information from the info card below the smart search box and it will include Zagat ratings, reviews from your friends and quick entry points to photos of the venue from Street View, both inside and outside of the venue: Review will link directly to Google Plus location. 

It integrated with Google earth and allow you to switch between Maps view and Earth view and this time they have better view with photo sharing view which combined from public shared photo and allow you to have a look on the destination you want to go. 

The most interesting features that always keep me coming back to Google Maps is directions, and I am impressed with they even have information for KL which i think previously I don't see anything good in here. :P

I think i am getting excited with this New Google Maps now, and keep playing around with the new features and layout.
