Google Updates Google Maps For iOS

Google has released its first update to Google Maps for iOS, bringing some features from Android and the web.

Version 1.1, available on the App Store on Tuesday, now allows you to search for addresses based on their Google Contacts if they choose to log into their Google accounts. Additionally, the app now also allows you to search for general categories like "restaurants," "bars," "gas stations," and so on. 

Users can now sync up previously-searched locations based on contact information, so if you have an address saved under Mom, searching by name will point you to the place on the map.

Google asks customers to note that some of these features may not be available in all countries.
