For all those who are using the Google Maps and have the NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled phones then the Google Maps application which you have been using has now got an update. With this new version of the Google Maps which is dubbed as the version of v5.11.0 is now LIVE in the Android Market Place. This update comes at a time when the adoption of NFC technology is slowly and steadily increasing as more and more phones are now powering with the NFC Chips. Also, in the recent launch of the Google’s Galaxy Nexus there is an option of Android BEAM which exactly works as the NFC technology.
The best part of this NFC Powered technology in the Google Maps is that just in case if you have found some place or say the route, you can then easily share the same result with your fellow user just by tapping the phones, the only condition being is that the phone with which you will be sharing should be an NFC Powered phone. Also, you can scan the NFC chips if there are any with which you can then visit the place directly, as by scanning with the NFC Chip you will get all the route details right on your phone. Also, the another major change which is mentioned in the change log is that the app storage space have been now drastically reduced with the downloads for different screen resolutions. You can also refer to few of the below images on how exactly the new version of Google Maps looks like.
