Google Maps 7: Major Update for Android & iOS

Google has updated its Maps services with a Major UI Overhaul & other features :---

-> The new Features include "Explore", that lets the user discover nearby places & restaurants to eat, drink, sleep, play ,shop, etc.(quite similar to NOKIA CITY LENS ) .
User has to just tap the search box for it.

-> Another one is Enhanced Navigation that  shows the real-time traffic congestion and incidents ahead and suggests alternate routes (with an option to reroute) to the user.

-> "Zagat" has now been integrated into the search results with badges , curated lists and the rating system uses a five star scale (displayed with a decimal place). 

-> An Easter egg has been created by Google which works by typing or speaking "OK Maps" in the search box to cache what's currently in the map view.

->  Google Maps 7 Requires ANDROID 4.0.3 or Higher.
