Google Maps Updates to Version 8.0.0 Bringing More Info when Navigating [Download]

It isn’t Wednesday quite yet folks, but Google has decided to roll out a pretty big update to Google Maps, bringing it to version 8.0.0 and bringing in a lot of new features.

• Turn-by-turn navigation now displays distance, arrival time, and quick access to alternate routes
• Save and manage offline maps in a custom list for when you’re traveling or have a slow connection
• Transit results now display total walking time of your trip and the next scheduled bus or train
• Sign in to see your “Places to review” list from recently saved or searched-for places
• If you have the Uber app installed, open it right from Google Maps when comparing route options
• Bug fixes

Glad they added more info when utilizing navigation, and anything that involves offline mode is always pretty fantastic. If you have not received the update in the Play Store, we have the download for you below. Get that on your device, and let us know how it is.
