Google Maps adds offline search and navigation - November 10, 2015

Offline search and navigation features were first previewed all the way back in May, at Google I/O, and are now beginning to roll out to Google Maps users. You simply search for a city, county or country and tap Download on the place sheet, or go to Offline Areas in the Google Maps menu and tap the + button.

Once you've downloaded your area of choice, Google Maps will switch to the offline map whenever it detects patchy or non-existent internet connectivity. Offline, Maps will function much the same as it does online, giving you turn-by-turn directions, business opening hours, useful information and contact numbers. If your internet picks up again, Maps will switch back to online mode, granting you access to live information, such as traffic alerts.

The feature is rolling out to Android users first, with iOS users said to be getting it "soon".

Google Maps 9.16 adds gas prices and detours - October 20, 2015

Fluctuating oil prices are driving a fixation with gas prices and Google, as ever, is tapping the collective modern mind. It was always pretty easy to just ask Maps to direct you to the nearest station, but that served convenience alone. Now you can view which stations close to you are offering the cheapest gas prices, and save a few cents at the pump.

Additionally, the new update lets you add detours while you're en route. When you're using navigation mode and you realize you've forgotten to pick up the vital ingredient for dinner, or you've been traveling for hours and are approaching starvation, you can now tap the magnifying glass in the the top right corner to access a drop-down menu with options like restaurants, grocery stores and coffee shops. If what you want isn't on that list, you can search or use voice commands to get to where you want to go.

Google Maps 9.13-15

A number of small changes were made to Maps through several incremental updates earlier this year.

First, a small Street View thumbnail was added to the screen when you drop a pin in a location covered by one of Google's Street View cars. Then, Google added the Add a missing business option to the navigation drawer, making it more visible, so you can add in places that haven't yet been picked up on.

The navigation UI now features a much larger map in between the journey time and location/destination input. A popular times feature now lets you see when a particular restaurant is likely to be busy, which presumably will be at lunch and dinner, but who really knows? And finally, you can now turn off traffic notifications, which might well save you enduring an onslaught of updates when you already know the situation.

Have you found the latest Google Maps updates useful? What features would you like to see in future? Let us know below.

According to a report published today, the long-rumored Microsoft Surface Phone will finally be launched in the second-half of 2016. The phone will be designed by Surface chief Panos Panay and his team of engineers. These are the same guys that built the Surface Pro tablet line, and the new Surface Book.

Sources say that the Microsoft Surface Phone replaces a metal-clad, Intel-powered phone that would have been driven by Windows 10. Today's report calls the cancelled device a carryover from Microsoft's purchase of Nokia Devices and Services. That phone was allegedly going to be released next May. 

Some insiders have theorized that Microsoft's lack of a more widespread carrier release forthe Microsoft Lumia 950 and Microsoft Lumia 950 XL in the U.S., is related to the desire of the powers that be at Microsoft to build a Surface Phone. That includes CEO Satya Nadella, and Surface head Panay. This could also explain why the company isn't spending big bucks to market its new flagship phones.

Previous rumors say that the Surface Phone will focus on productivity, not specs. It will be considered a flagship model and will be powered by a Snapdragon 820 chipset, and will use the advanced cooling technique used by the Lumia 950 XL.

Ready for Android 6.0 Marshmallow?

Android is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics. As of 2015, Android has the largest installed base of all operating systems.[11] It is the second most commonly used mobile operating system in the United States, while iOS is the first.[12]

Initially developed by Android, Inc., which Google bought in 2005,[13] Android was unveiled in 2007, along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance – a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices.[14] As of July 2013, the Google Play store has had over one million Android applications ("apps") published, and over 50 billion applications downloaded.[15] An April–May 2013 survey of mobile application developers found that 71% of developers create applications for Android,[16] and a 2015 survey found that 40% of full-time professional developers see Android as their priority target platform, which is comparable to Apple's iOS on 37% with both platforms far above others.[17] At Google I/O 2014, the company revealed that there were over one billion active monthly Android users, up from 538 million in June 2013.[18]

Android's source code is released by Google under open source licenses, although most Android devices ultimately ship with a combination of open source and proprietary software, including proprietary software required for accessing Google services.[3] Android is popular with technology companies that require a ready-made, low-cost and customizable operating system for high-tech devices.[19] Its open nature has encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new features for advanced users[20] or bring Android to devices originally shipped with other operating systems. At the same time, as Android has no centralised update system most Android devices fail to receive security updates: research in 2015 concluded that almost 90% of Android phones in use had known but unpatched security vulnerabilities due to lack of updates and support.[21][22] The success of Android has made it a target for patent litigation as part of the so-called "smartphone wars" between technology companies.........
