Today Google released an updated version 4.3 of its popular Google Maps Android application. The update brings the following features:
- reviews for places now contain more detailed ratings of individual qualities, such as food, service, selection, atmosphere, value, and more
- public transit stations now contain schedules, making half of the public transportation apps out there instantly obsolete, especially considering that Google Maps on Android supports getting directions via public transport
- adding friends in Latitude, which is Google's version of foursquare, is now very easy - in fact some of you (*cough* @Stericson *cough*) have been doing nothing but adding Latitude friends all day
Overall, excellent update, Google!

The public transport is getting totally sweet. I seriously can't imagine leaving the house without my phone anymore.

hi,
any updates release date for the HTC Desire (Asia edition)?
thks
I have an HTC Magic on Rogers in Canada. From what I can tell I can get the update to 4.3. I try the site to update and it says that I already have Google Maps, but I checked and it's 3.1.2. I also can't find any update on the Market. Please help.
