A new version of Google’s mapping software has been recently released into version 3.2, with added compatibility for layers-info like that in the desktop version. This came after consumers sought the easier and more useful means of interacting with geographic content like traffic, public transit, Wikipedia and local search results.
Google Maps for both Symbian Series 60 phones and Windows Mobile allow users to plot themselves and their friends and business on a map, and has the capability to layer on transit lines and a multitude of points of interest.
Latitude friend locations also come with the Version 3.2, along with the ability to combine multiple layers to show tube maps and geo-tagged Wikipedia contents. The user’s own content saved on My Maps in desktop version can now be saved as a layer in the new mobile content. Google’s unification of the functionality of both mobile and desktop versions of its mapping software proved to be a wise move that puts users at an advantage.
The new layers option of Google Maps for 3.2 can be accessed by pressing the “2” key or by selecting “menu” and “layers”. Aside from the traffic and transit features, there are handfuls of points marked as red waypoints representing applicable locations. For many users in the United States and China, users benefits more as Google Map’s newer version allows browsing of popular searches like restaurants.
While more improvements are still under way, and some more being called for by consumers, Google continues to pursue in perfecting its 3.2 features. Users continue to clamor that they be allowed to save new maps and direction routes into their My Maps. The importance of interaction with their transit lines direct from the map is also called for as going through the directions menu seem a hassle.
