It also assured that it would present a standalone program for iPad. What experience can we hope to see in the future? How will the popular app change and what features will Google add to its program? We found information about some of the upcoming options. We will gladly share everything we know with you.

Google Maps iOS 7 Update Features

Once you download Google Maps for iOS 7 you will get such options as Reviews, Explore and others. For example, if you need to find out traffic conditions or use re-direction you’ll have to use Enhanced Navigation option. This feature will automatically change your route so that you can get to your destination quicker. There will be no need to type if you need to find new places. Use Explore and browse places with ease by simply tapping the search field and going through the cards of different stores, hotels and restaurants. Offers, Reviews and Zagat are other opportunities that are coming to the upgraded application. They have social reviews for restaurants and places of interest to ease your choice. All the local deals will be available under Valuable Offers option. Latitude feature will be absent in the new Google+ application. Since Android devices have received an opportunity to access offline maps by simply typing “OK Maps” in the search field and we have hopes that iOS 7 application version will also offer such an option to iPhone and iPad users. What do you think about the upcoming changes? Would it become easier and more pleasant to use the popular program? How will Apple have to change its Maps application to compete with Google? We’ll be glad if you share your ideas in the comments below.
