Google Maps Promise to be Better.

[Geek-9pm]

Here are some new articles about improvements to Google Maps.

(I don't know if this MAC news is related to the Google news or not.)

The above says this is the result of a new Urban Engines acquisition.

The exact details are a bit scarce. We don’t know the financial terms. We don’t even know what Google Maps really wants to do with this information, or how it could improve the product itself. Urban Engines only mentions the plan is to “help organizations”. Chances are this will also improve navigation, though.

Well, let's hope it is an improvement.

"While you’re actually navigating somewhere, most of the screen is taken up by the map". I am very glad finally they have addressed to it and now map screen can be scrolled up allowing the user to use other apps.
P.S: I'd like a way to pause the turn-by-turn directions. For example, getting off the Interstate to get gas or food will cause no end of nags to proceed to the route.
