Google updates Maps for Android with Google Calendar integration

Aside from that, Google announced that it introduced a new “Upcoming” tab, which is supposed to allow you to see a list of all upcoming events you have listed in Google Calendar. To get to that tab, you must open the sidebar menu, tap “Your Place” and then tap “Upcoming.” Any of the upcoming events can be hidden by tapping on the event from the map and then choosing “Dismiss.”

Another worthy improvement added by Google is related to Gmail. Basically, when Android users receive confirmation emails for hotel, flight or restaurant reservations in Gmail, the information will now be shown in Maps as well. Just like other events, these reservations will be listed under the “Upcoming” tab.

And last but not least, you can now see the address of some of your contacts directly in Maps. Obviously, you will have to enter their address in the Contacts menu before their location will be shown on the map.

The new version of Google Maps for Android allows users to manage their personal content using the new manager under the Settings tab.
