Google Maps gets a handful of minor improvements for Android
Despite not being on Wednesday or Thursday, days on which Google usually publishes its updates and news, they are already known news of the latest version of the application Google Maps that has begun to circulate through the devices Android A revision that includes a few minor improvements to make this application of maps, directions and routes more useful, comfortable and attractive for all usersEven for those most jealous of their privacy
This is the version 9.8 of Google Maps for Android A simple update, which does not change its mechanics or introduce changes in operation or really helpful. Instead, it has some improvements for the comfort of the user. The main one among all of them is the option to make a mass upload of photos when completing the information of an establishment. Thus, when searching for a destination and displaying the menu to upload photos and complete a assessment of that site, it is now possible to select multiple snapshots from the gallery Something that was not possible before in a single process. Question that will enrich this section of comments.
Another novelty has to do closely with privacyThus, users who already have a reservation in a certain place and visit the page of said establishment through Google Maps, will be able to hide the appointment. And it is that, until now, when registering one of these reservations or events through Gmail or any other Google system , the system recognized it and displayed it on the establishment's page as a reminder. However, it may not want to be displayed by the user, so Google has included the option to hide the eventso that no more data is displayed in this regard when consulting the places.
Apart from these more main issues, the new version of Google Maps also has small tweaks that are also interesting, although some of them could happen unnoticed. For example, when searching for a new destination, the specific point, in addition to being marked with the classic Google Maps pushpin, now also has a Red pointA mere addition of style.
In addition, the media team Android Police has been digging into the guts of this update, finding some issues that might as well not be active at the time of installing the new version, but in which Google would be working. The most significant are various icons and elements that would be used in smart watches Android Wear More specifically the always-on mode with which Google wants to make the operating system of its watches more practical by keeping the screen always full of content, although with a power saving mode.
In short, minor issues that do not change anything of importance within this map application. Just visual tweaks, features for user comfort, or details that improve the overall user experience.The new version of Google Maps will be made available to all Android users via Google Play in the coming days.
