Google Maps updated to 5.7. The most attractive feature is Trans Navigation feature.
Transit Navigation uses GPS to determine your current location along your route and alerts you when it’s time to get off or make a transfer. This is particularly helpful if you’re in a city where you don’t speak the language and can’t read the route maps or understand the announcements. After starting your trip with Transit Navigation, you can open another application or put your phone away entirely and Google Maps will still display an alert in your notification bar and vibrate your phone when your stop is coming up.



Here's the important points for this update:

* Get GPS stop-by-stop public transit directions in Navigation (beta)
* Receive search suggestions based on previous direction destinations and visited Place pages
* Get directions in fewer clicks with the updated directions experience
* Improved battery power management for Navigation (beta)
* Browser photos of Place pages in a gallery view
* Use the Download Map Area lap to save map areas for offline viewing
