Google Maps is a mapping app developed by Google for the Android and ios operating system; it uses Google Maps for its information. It was first released for Android on Sep 23, 2008, and later for ios on Dec 13, 2012 as an alternative to Apple Maps, which was released with ios 6.
On Nov 28, 2007, Google Maps for Mobile 2.0 was released.Its location services can work with or without a GPS reciever. The "my location" feature uses the GPS/Assisted GPS location of the mobile device, if available, supplemented by determining the nearest wireless networks and cell sites. The software looks up the location of the cell site using a database of known wireless networks and sites. By triangulating the differnt signal strengths from different cell transmitter and then using their location property, My location determines the user's current location. Wireless network location method is calculated by discovering the nearby WIFi hotspots and using their location property to further discover the user's location. The order in which these take precedence is :
GPS based services
WLAN, WiFi based services
Cell transmitter based services
The software plots the streers in blue that are available with a yellow icon and green circle around the estimated range of the cell site based on transmitter's rated power. The estimate is refined using the strength of the cell phone sognal to estimate how close to the cell site the mobile device.
Google Maps for ios has many of the features that are in their Android mao applications, including turn by turn navigation , stret view, and public transit information. The application's user interface has been complete,y redesigned. The original version did not support the ipad, but Google planned to add ipad support. ipad support was added wit hversion 2.0.
