Google introduces Maps App Android smartphones, tablets

Google has introduces Maps app for Android smartphones and tablets. It is also coming soon to iPhone and iPad. It’s a new mapping experience that makes exploring the world and getting to the places that matter to you a lot faster and easier.  The app is gradually rolling out globally in Google Play and will be available soon in the App Store. The new Google Maps for mobile builds on the design we released for iPhone last December and improves on it with a few useful search and navigation features. Google said that it is the first dedicated app for Android tablets and iPads. “We’re also retiring Latitude and are making some changes to offline and My Maps” it said in a blog.  One important change the user should know about is that Latitude and check-ins are no longer part of the new Google Maps app, and will be retired from older versions on August 9.
