Google Maps 6.0.0 released, indoor maps introduced

by XB on November 29, 2011

Google Maps just gets better and better. Google has just introduced version 6.0.0 of Google Maps for Android and it adds indoor navigation to its roster. What this means is that your journey with Google Maps doesn’t just stop when you reach your destination, it can now continue inside shopping malls, airports, trains stations and more.

Indoor maps is still in beta and is currently only available in select locations in the US and Japan (see here for the full list). It can even tell what floor you are in and update the map accordingly. Never will you be worrying where the nearest toilets are again! The potential is massive and we can’t wait until more countries are supported. Click through for some promo videos showing how it all works.
