Google Releases Another Update To Android Maps

Google continues to make improvements to the Android Maps app and today it released an update that integrates its Places Directory directly into Maps. Previously, Places Directory was a separate program from Google that now comes as part of Maps. If you were like me and had Places Directory installed on your phone, you can remove it after installing the update.

When you run a search in Maps the results incorporate the same content that Places provides.
