Google has unveiled updates to its Google Maps for iOS and Google Maps for Android apps.<br />Both Android and iOS users also gain additional new features including support for comparing ETAs across a range of transit options, plus the ability to generate directions and call businesses directly from a list of places.<br />At the current time, users are restricted to getting directions only: two buttons provide easy access to directions to the user's home or work place, while a "Recent routes" option provides access to directions to places browsed in Google Maps on other platforms.<br />Users can switch between walking, transit and driving directions by a force press on-screen, and the watch segues in with the user's phone, allowing them to launch directions on that before switching the watch to provide turn-by-turn instructions.
