Google Maps for iOS Gets Updated With Real Time Commute and Places Info

Google has announced an update to the Google Maps app for iOS that offers real time info at the bottom of the home screen.

Whether we like it or not, sometimes life just flies by. And in the moment, every minute counts. Just one minute can be the difference between catching the last train or walking home in the rain. Or getting to that new restaurant in time to snag the last table. Last year we updated Google Maps for Android to provide access to helpful everyday info–in real time–at the bottom of the home screen. Now we’ve rolled out that same useful update to Google Maps for iOS as well.

Swiping up while in the Google Maps app will bring up three tabs (Explore, Driving, and Transit) that will help you find a nearby restaurant, beat traffic, or catch the next bus.


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