To call Google Maps just an app of a day is to do it a disservice . Because it should be app of the day , everyday . It ’s earned Lifetime Achievement condition . It ’s the upright app available . And it still get right .
The latest update to Google Maps on Android brings a feature we ’ve long been wanting for : downloading local maps to store on your phone . That fashion you may use Google Maps even without a data connection . Whoaaa .
What ’s it do ?
You jazz what Google Maps does . I use it everyday . You probably do too . And Google Maps on Android has long been the best variant of Google Maps ! There ’s sailing and Google uses it as a testbed for brand spanking new features that take everlastingly ( if at all ) to show up on other platform . Their latest ‘ Labs ’ feature of speech lets you download the map area for a 10 - geographical mile radius from any location to your earpiece so you ’ll never need a data point connecter . Just get on any Places pageboy and “ More ” to download the maps . The map are easily achievable ( stored in Google Maps memory cache setting ) and delete themselves after 30 - days ( to save space ) .
Why do we like it ?
I live in New York and subway stations do n’t have cell phone divine service . I ca n’t use Google maps until I ’m out . Now I can . If I ’m going to take a head trip to a foreign country , I can download the map beforehand so I ’ll have it on the ready when I get there . It ’s Google Maps the way we ’ve always require it : anywhere , anytime , however , whenever . No more self-justification on not knowing where things are .
