streamlined design but also the information the user will need, "when

top enables you to explore more than 100 million places globally
making it easy to pinpoint businesses and/or points of interest with
addresses, phone numbers, and reviews from people you trust," it said.
Users can swipe the info sheet at the bottom to scroll through each result, or tap the “list” icon for a full list of results.Also, an interactive “info sheet” at the bottom of the screen can offer
complete details about each place, ranging from star ratings to store
hours.

- 3 billion miles of turn-by-turn directions, globally
- 1 million transit stops in 800 cities globally
- 1 billion square feet (and growing) of indoor floor plans of airports, malls and more
New navigation feature
Included in the latest app is a Navigation function, though still in
beta, that features voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation.A user can also swipe the navigation banner at the top to preview
upcoming turns on the map, or use the step-by-step list view.Meanwhile, multiple views can make the map more relevant to a user, who
can tap the Views menu on the bottom right to add new layers of
information on the map."Explore the world's
terrain from afar with highdef satellite imagery, and easily find
