Google Recently released an update for Google Maps. The update will take you from version 4.01 to 4.02. This probably means that the updates were minor bug fixes. For quite some time I have been using AT&T Navigator as my GPS Navigation Software of choice. I don’t mind paying the monthly fee because it keeps the maps updated. I know for my mom’s truck it is 200 dollars to update the maps. Other systems are less but you are roughly paying the same price to keep your maps up to date. Google pretty much has the same system going on with the turn by turn directions on Android and since I switched to the Nexus One, I recently had a chance to test it out.
Recently I took a trip to Ohio to see my son Aaron play in a Spring Football game. Pick 6, the boy was balling! I also saw this as an opportunity to use the New Google Maps Turn by Turn Feature. Overall It got me everywhere I needed to go without issue. I was a little concerned with parts of the route that was laid out. None the less I got where I was going in the right amount of time. The one feature that I was really impressed with was a picture of my destination. I was shocked when i saw the image of Rod’s sisters house come up on the screen as I was pulling up. It was really helpful because it was late when I got there and was hard to see the house numbers. Turn by Turn is only available on the Android but there are a host of features available on other platforms. Take a look below and go get your update.
