Google Maps for Android Adds Train Schedules

Jun 22, 2010, 1:34 PM by Philip Berne

Google today offered a new version of its Google Maps app for Android phones. Google Maps 4.3 now shows a snapshot of review information for local restaurants and other places as part of the search results page. Google analyzes the overall positive or negative comments users are leaving about a place and graphs the results as a sort of meta-review. In addition, Google Maps results for public transit stations now offers upcoming schedules for trains, subways and buses. Finally, Google has made it easier to share location information from its Google Latitude service with contacts in your Google contact list. The new Google Maps app is available for phones running Android 1.6 or better. It is a free download from the App Market.
