Apple Maps has definitely improved in the years since its launch, but many iOS users still rely on Google Maps to help them get around. Today Google announced a new feature for those folks.
Google is now rolling out a new section in Google Maps for iOS that'll help you get more info about what's around you. Swipe up from the bottom of the app and you'll see three tabs — the explore tab, the driving tab, and the transit tab — that'll help you do things like find a meal nearby or catch a bus.
This feature rolled out on Google Maps for Android last year, and it's good to see it coming to iOS as well. With it, you can quickly find info about what's around you, including restaurants and traffic, without having to tap on a bunch of places or change to a different part of Google Maps.
If you use Google Maps for iOS, keep an eye out for this feature the next time you load up the app.
