The Google Maps app for Android phones and tablets bring turn-by-turn
navigation with lane guidance displays distance, the arrival time, and
quick access to alternate routes. Maps has improved substantially over
the last few months. While it is not always intuitive to figure out how
to change the method of transport or to change the route, it now
displays more useful and relevant info when searching directly in the
app.
Google Maps with navigation is one of the best GPS
and mapping softwares around. And that's not even the best part! is's
free! Whereas other companies want to charge you monthly service charges
for inferior services; Google provides all this for free! Google puts
apple to shame with their maps. Always finds the route within seconds
too.
Google Maps seems to be a lot faster and smoother. The app performs well, has a great interface and integrates with Google Now.
There are some great new features on this version such as having ETA
and time remaining on the bottom at the same time. The navigation is so
much better now! The spoken directions are clearer, traffic is super
accurate, and the street signs that tell you if roads left/right only
are useful in busy traffic on unfamiliar roads.
This is an essential application that really does make question the need
for a stand-alone navigation device. You can use for navigation,
directions, and finding a location.
The addition of lane guidance really helps out with safer driving. Not
having to make rapid, last-minute lane changes will be a welcome
addition. Also, the combination of travel time remaining/miles
remaining/time of arrival is a nice safety feature. Keeps you from
having to fiddle with the phone while driving.
