Google has updated their Google Maps interface to become compatable with Android iOS which will allow us to access all of the features of Google Map that we get on the desktop right on our mobile phone or tablet.

Here is how:

• See your current location
• Search for what’s nearby with suggest and auto complete
• Have clickable icons of popular businesses and transit stations
• Get driving, transit, biking, and walking directions
• Turn on satellite, transit, traffic, biking, and other layers
• View Place pages with photos, ratings, hours, and more
• When signed into your Google account, access your starred locations and My Maps

For example see screenshots below:

If you want to see what else Google Maps can do for you on the go click here:  Google Maps or on your mobile devices’ browser and see for yourself.

Google has done a great job making Google Maps so interactive and useful. I use it all the time whether I am out doing errands, driving to work or on a road trip. It’s definitely a great feature to have available on the fly. No more searching on the desktop and printing out directions and maps before leaving the house Thanks Google for updating and giving us the experience of a reliable navigation, information provider and traffic report tool all at our finger tips!

My name is Stephanie Klicpera and I am a 28 year old Gal from NY. I have an undying passion for Google and Android because of all the awesome things they have to offer. I currently own a rooted HTC Thunderbolt and do my best to make it as girly as possible. If you have a rooted Thunderbolt like me, you can also girly up your phone by using one of the themes named after me. Just look out for any theme with "Cutee" in the theme name.I started writing for AndroidGals in March of 2011 and I am loving it! I decided to get involved because I think it's important for more of us gals to learn how to utilize our Android devices and get the most out of them. I am involved in a new "girly project" over at www.teambamf.net to further educate what Android can do for us gals. To stay posted follow me on Twitter @Androidcutee
