This is what's new in Google Maps for iOS

Google Maps is starting the year with an interesting update that includes useful features for users, even though the service is in Apple's sights, who may eventually replace it with their own native maps app . This could all happen this year, especially since Safari's official search engine is also set to be replaced by Microsoft's Bing.

Even so, the folks at Mountain View have decided to bring a new update to the Apple platform with which users will be able to filter the list of restaurants shown on the map based on the type of food they offer.

In addition, version 4.2.0 also makes it possible to view the weather in more than 220 specific countries and territories, as well as being able to add transit directions to your device's calendar.

If you want to mark a route from start to finish, with the new version of Google Maps on iOS you can add a pin from the origin to the destination of your route in more than 15 cities and towns around the world.

Among the improvements that we can't visually detect, Google Maps has made a great bug fix that allows the app to develop better and fewer problems to appear on your mobile.
