São Paulo – Users iPhone who were jealous of the class of Android because of the new version of Google Maps , released last week for the system Google , can now celebrate.

  • 16/07/2013 | Leader in China, WeChat messenger arrives to Brazil
  • 16/07/2013 | Justice asks the explanations on Google Street View
  • 16/07/2013 | Google blocks sites that send false results in searches

updates are now available for the iPhone and for the first time, also for iPad . Until now, users of Apple’s tablet had to use the web version of Google Maps as the native app for iOS was made for the smaller screen of the iPhone.

The new version takes advantage of the tablet’s screen and brings the usual features of Maps, including the functions of tracing routes, traffic and Street View. The new version gives more emphasis to search for restaurants, shops, hotels and other establishments, since Google has been making an effort to monetize Maps.

Some features announced in the United States, however, are not available for the Brazilians. The list includes restaurant reviews from Zagat and bike routes. Although there is a menu item with the symbol of a bicycle, nothing happened when we tried to punch it in the test done by EXAME.com.

news on Google Maps were first presented during the event Google I / O in May. Google has been gradually releasing new versions on various platforms. If the user logs in to use the service, your data will be synchronized between them. A search made on the smartphone will appear in the Google Maps history on the web, for example.

The app is available in App Store (iOS), the store Google Play (Android) and of course the web. This video advertising displays Google Maps to the sound of the classic “Detroit Rock City”, the band Kiss:
