Google updates Maps for mobile browsers

Google has updated Google Maps for iOS and Android mobile browsers, adding features that those who use Google Maps for iOS or on a desktop have had for awhile.

These features include the ability to view your current location, suggestible search and auto completion; clickable icons; directions for driving, walking, biking and transit; different map layers to toggle satellite, traffic and more.

I’m honestly surprised these features weren’t in the web app before. To give it a try, head to maps.google.com via a mobile browser.
