Google Updates Their Google Maps

Earlier this week, Google announced that is has made updates and improvements to it’s Google maps. This update now allows user to add directions for multiple destinations to the new Google Maps preview, which has been available in beta for the past three months and is now rolled out for everyone to enjoy.

Pproject manager Florian Goerisch said, “Whether you’re running weekend errands or planning a cross-country tour, you can plot multiple destinations for your trip with ease – now available for driving, walking and biking directions.Once you’ve chosen a starting point, click ‘+’ and add stops to your route by typing in the search box or clicking on the map.”

Another feature that is available with the update is the ability to search for venues. For instance, if your traveling through Chicago, you’ll be able to find out what the upcoming events are at local stadiums, theaters and more. These improvements really bring everything together on one easy platform to use.
