"The feature is simple: If, for example, you have a flight reserved at the JFK, when you search for that airport in the app, you'll get info about your reservation," wrote Mashable's Stan Schroeder. "The reservations will only show if the confirmations were sent to your Gmail account, which has to be linked with the device."
"The company has been slowly iterating on making Google's apps feel less like standalone destinations, and more like tools that allow you to access the vast data that Google has about the world, and about you personally," noted TechCrunch's Sarah Perez. "It's been blurring the lines between its services, as well as between what's public and private."
The update also includes general bug fixes, but Google did not specify the improvements.
Although Apple launched iOS 7 in September, the Google Maps update can be installed on iOS 6 devices as well. The latest Google Maps update requires 11MB of memory from the respective Apple device.
According to Apple iTunes, the Google Maps app is compatible with the Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese languages.
