Google Maps turns 15, gets a new look and features

Internet behemoth Google has given a fresh look to its highly popular Google Maps app for Android and iOS that gives users everything they need at their fingertips with five easy-to-access tabs: Explore, Commute, Saved, Contribute and Updates. Dane Glasgow, vice-president of Product, Google Maps, said, “In 2005, we set out to map the world. Since then we’ve pushed the limits of what a map can do: from helping you easily navigate from point A to B, to helping you explore and get things done in the world. With more than 1 billion people turning to Google Maps to see and explore the world, we’re celebrating our 15th birthday with a new look and product updates based on consumer feedback.”
