Google Maps for iOS has been updated with a new dedicated Ride Services mode that lets you compare the price and times of Uber, Hailo, and other ride services.

The mode, previously only available for Android devices, appears in line with the usual driving, transit, walking and biking modes and helps you easily compare options to find the fastest way to your destination, without having to open multiple apps. New ride services partners have been added in the UK, Spain, Germany, India and Brazil.

Additionally, this update brings support for Spotlight Search and it lets you save route options for driving, walking and bicycling.

What's New In This Version:
• New dedicated ride services tab. In select countries, compare pickup times and prices of Uber, 99Taxis, Ola Cabs, Hailo, MyTaxi and Gett
• Use Spotlight Search to find your saved places, and places you recently looked at in Google Maps
• Save your driving, walking and bicycling route options
• Bug fixes

You can download Google Maps from the App Store for free.
