| Google Maps for Android |
This post is short and sweet - but still awesome news. Phil Nickinson's article at
Android Central wrote that Google announced their plans to bring
Google Maps offline on Android devices. This has not been released yet, but will be something to come in the future. This feature couldn't come at a better time - with everyone being gouged and many even losing unlimited data through their mobile providers. Not only will Google Maps be available without a data connection, but it will still be able to offer full features, including zooming as far down as Street View.
Google also featured an Android-powered Street View backpack rig that allows imaging in areas that cars can't travel to. This comes in addition to the work that Google has done on their
Amazon Rainforest imaging project.
As a whole, Google is bringing their mapping software to more areas of the world at a lower cost for consumers (not having to use data on Android devices). I can't wait to see what they do next.
