Google Maps just got its ‘biggest ever’ update improving Street View with 250,000 miles of roads
Share:
This update follows another recent bump up giving developers access to time zone functionality in the Maps API.
Now, Google is truly becoming the librarian of not only museums and cultural sites, but also of places these days. So even when you can’t afford to travel, Street View is definitely giving you a great look at what you are missing.

Right..
Google have Street view whereas Nokia have a proper and probably better offline navigation.

im not a fanboy. you dont have to be fanboy to say apple's move of using crappy apple maps and ditching google maps was extremely stupid for the time and not even putting beta over it. and if you can already access them through websites, what was the whole point of making an app for it dufus.

I applaud you Google, thank you so much for being an actual Innovator in the tech world instead of just "claiming" to be while stifling other more promanant companies with simple litigation. Classy, very classy - D

That's not a very nice statement to write. It really isn't Apple's fault that their mAps' Service is inferior. One can't denegrade an entire flock if you will because they simply insist on misfollowing tyranny. We must continue to support Apple in its' endeavors; for, only with an example of great iNcompetence and great misguiDance, can Google continue to deliver Great Example.
