Google Maps is now available in your mobile browser


Google Maps is finally available on your mobile browsers (for Android and iOS)! You don't need to have the Google Maps app (e.g. on you Android) for you to get the features that it has. Today, you can now visit maps.google.com on your mobile browsers and get a feature rich Google Maps right in your browsers.



Google said that 40% of Google Maps usage is via mobile devices, so they thought why not give users "a consistent Google Maps experience wherever you use it".

With the new Google Maps for your mobile browsers you will be able to:
  • See your current location
  • Search for what’s nearby with suggest and auto complete
  • Have clickable icons of popular businesses and transit stations
  • Get driving, transit, biking, and walking directions
  • Turn on satellite, transit, traffic, biking, and other layers
  • View Place pages with photos, ratings, hours, and more
  • When signed into your Google account, access your starred locations and My Maps
