loving these google releases today... i'm anticipating some big things from google soon for android.

why can't i search for a location within this app?

would help when adding markers (i like being able to add markers) just wish i could jump around a bit easier.

I could be wrong, and if I am please inform me if anyone has any experience with this relatively new app. When I heard that this application gave us the ability to "tag" locations I thought that was great because there have been many times where normal maps don't pull up the exact location I'm looking for, and it would be easier for me to just "tag" it so that way I can get directions back to that point at a later time. I suppose I don't understand how this new "my maps" works because the only thing it seems to give us the ability to do is to tag locations, and not get directions to those locations. I guess what I wish they would come out with would be an upgrade to the current Google Maps application that allows us to tag locations and then get directions to those tagged locations. Such as setting up a "Home" location, or if you are following someone to a friends house being able to tag that location so that way you can easily get directions from that location (great if you don't pay attention while following) and then get directions to that location at a later time (perfect for if you have to go back to that house a few months later and have no one to follow.) Along the same lines would be having the ability to track your route that way you can follow the same route back out (helpful in confusing neighborhoods). If this is possible with this app PLEASE let me know, because it would be very helpful, but I guess I'm just not taking full advantage of this new "My Maps" application because I don't fully understand it. Anybody have some answers on this?

Yeah, it's called Garmin Maps. Wait for it.

They'd better add feature to store maps locally on the phone. It would make them load 10 times faster and would not drain money out of yua.

[ghoonk]

Garmin would, but probably not Google Maps.

[grennis]

I dont see it on the market but I see a couple other apps by Google just posted.

Was this app pulled?
