Google Maps 5.0 is based on vector graphics instead of flat 2D maps to download map data. Vector files are smaller and more flexible than the typical image file, both of which make a big difference on mobile devices. Thanks for vector graphics, the application will now load maps faster than ever before, and draw in a dynamic way. It also supports 3D models of construction for over 100 major cities. The compass is automatically redirected to the new map helps to maintain direction.
As mentioned previously, the application could also map data cache that you use most often so you can read offline maps. It will retrieve locations on the map at night when you are connected to WiFi. Google says this feature more than 90 percent of the time the Maps application fails when it is a bad connection. Navigation function the application will be able to enjoy the card offline and redirecting you if you are without service.
Google explains the new features are just the first step in improving the overall performance of its Maps application. The company figure, display cards with the new application now takes 70 percent less mobile data. It is still uncertain whether we will see new features like on other platforms. Apple, which is Google Maps for iPhone has not been very good to support updates to Google in the past.
Google Maps 5.0 is available on all Android devices running version 1.6 and above, but in 3D and online support is only available for those with Android 2.0 or higher.
