Default What's new in Google Maps 1.61? - 08-21-2007, 12:09 PM

Does anyone know what has changed in Google Maps 1.61 from 1.60? I installed it on my VZW 8830 and I don't see anything different. There is no new info on the GMM web site.

I didn't keep track of changes from 1.5x to 1.6x but here are new features I've noticed. NYC maps now show subway stations (but not the train numbers). The show/hide traffic works properly. There are nicer interface menus and icons.

If you zoom in far enough, it actually DOES show the lines that stop at each subway station--a godsend for idiots like me who have no natural sense of direction!

That is a really good news about the subway lines! I'll have to take a look. I'm really looking forward to the visualit Tube2 with GPS. They have it for PocketPC.
