Google Maps 6. guild wars 2 gold 0 includes indoor mapping of Macy's, IKEA, airports

Google is bringing its mapping technology to the great indoors.

With the launch of Google Maps 6.0 on Tuesday, users of mobile devices running Android OS 2. gw2 gold 1 and up will have the ability to use Google Maps not just to get directions to an IKEA, Macys or one of several airports, but to use the mapping functionality to figure out how to find housewares, ATMs, and your flight gate once you are inside.

Googles inside mapping will work similarly to its outside mapping. A little blue dot will move along with you to show you where you are, and the technology is even able to know what floor you are on -- what Steve Lee, director of product management for Google, called the third dimension of mapping.

Its exciting news, but there are a few caveats. The release is pretty limited. Although Googles launch partners include 18 U.S. airports -- notably some of the biggies, such as Chicago OHare International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and San Francisco International Airport (obviously) -- LAX and JFK are still not available.

Some of the big-box stores such as IKEA, Macys, Bloomingdales and Home Depot have already been mapped, but not Target. Not Wal-Mart. And not nearly as many malls as youd like to see, especially in this holiday season.

While we are super proud of this launch, it is still a small slice of indoor public spaces in the world, Lee said. The goal is to get to where we can deliver detailed maps for all indoor spaces. gw2 gold

One additional bummer: Google Maps 6.0 is currently only available for Android, which means: iPhone owners, this is not yet for you. A Google spokeswoman said there is still no specific timing for when indoor maps will be available for non-Android platforms.
