Google Maps for iPhone Update Adds Contacts Integration
Google is providing a very good map application, and they have to pay for it, so why are you surprised that they show you ads ... no one is forcing you to use Google map. You can always use the free, non-tracking(?) Apple Map.... but then your gas bill will be higher!
Google Maps for iPhone is getting its first major update today. In version 1.1, users can now search for any address stored in their Google contacts list. In addition, tapping inside the search bar brings up the option for finding nearby places in 13 different categories (e.g., restaurants, hotels, gas stations). Google is also rolling out the app to seven new countries, including Egypt, Lebanon and Bahrain. Google Maps for iPhone launched in December and was quickly downloaded by iPhone users frustrated with the poor Apple Maps experience.
