Google maps is updated

Based on CBC news May 15, 2013, google maps is going to overhaul but new map is currently only available for desktop browsers. Technology is developing very fast recent years. More and more people access to Internet for finding friends, sharing information and reading news.

This is really the big change to google map because the company added on some new features for it. According to the news, the users will be presented with a full screen map and just a single search bar. This feature can let people see the places more clearly. The other feature is the map will be more personalized if the users login google+. For example, people can highlight a restaurant and when you click the restaurant or bar. Google also added on the implementation of public transit routing. It is very good for international students like us who do not have a car. From the new maps, we can find more routes to get the places by taking public transportation.

The only issue I found was one time I searched a place on google map, but it did not give me the right location on the map. Maybe the place changed address and google map did not update facilities' address very often. I hope google map can keep updating the new address for some places that people can get the accurate locations.
