I finally got welcomed into the new Google Maps a couple of days ago, but I didn’t get a chance to check it out until this evening.
First impression: pretty darn cool.
The maps are more detailed (even in the simple map view), getting info about stuff just by clicking on a street is amazing, there’s a carousel of images from interesting places within the map viewing area, the map updates as you click on certain locations, there are street view previews when you click on a street location, you can favorite locations, it will update traffic info in real time…it’s become a ton more useful and interactive.
The cool new 3D is not available yet, but once that rolls out it will be even more awesome.
This Apple fanboy is pretty excited by all the stuff Google is putting out or working on. It’s all Linux anyway.
