Google Maps 9.8

3 new features in Google Maps 9.8 on Android

Google Maps 9.8 has three new features that help manage location photos, details and your schedule.




Version 9.8 of the Google Maps app for Android brings three changes that seek to enhance your user experience. You'll now be able to add multiple photos at a time, hide scheduled events on location cards, and you can pull up all scheduled events with new commands. Here's how to use each:

Batch upload photos

Multi-photo upload in Google Maps 9.8.
Before this update, if you wanted to add multiple photos to a location, they had to be added one by one. Now you can tap the overflow menu in the top right on a location page, pick Add photos and then tap on all of the ones you want to share. Press Select at the top right when you're finished.

Hide personal information on locations

Conceal reservations or events from locations.

Trying to hide a surprise dinner reservation and Google Maps is sharing all of your secrets? When you load location info and see the event details, you can hide them. Just tap the overflow menu (three dots) > Hide.

New search phrases for events

  • My flights

Apple Car

Could This Be The Apple Car? There’s been plenty written about the potential Apple car. Now, though, we have an interesting guess as to what it might look like when it hits the road. This version is quintessentially Apple with smooth lines, tons of technology, and that iconic Apple logo prominently featured. These Apple car concepts were drawn up by  CarWow ,and they include both interior and exterior design possibilities. It starts by taking a cue from Tesla with an absentee grille and flowing, aerodynamic lines that look a bit like the Magic Mouse. Colors are white, black, and gold in a nod to the newest iPhones with carbon-fiber reinforced plastics that include a coating to keep dirt from marring that perfect finish. The wheels are designed to cut drag and look good. The interior is where it suddenly looks like no other car. There’s a fingerprint-reading home button on the driver and passenger front doors and it’s all unlocked from the outside with a left to rig...

Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of  10 free call apps  to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz. The test method For our test, we subjected each of these 10 apps to three separate one minute calls and recorded the amount of data used by the app after each call. These three totals were then averaged together to produce the result. Bo...

HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6

  HTC One M9 vs Apple iPhone 6 (Video) They’ve got almost nothing in common besides their aluminum casings – and that shouldn’t come as too big a surprise. The iPhone 6 is Apple’s crown jewel, a curved and super-thin ingot packing technologies cherry-picked by Apple to run its closed and meticulously managed iOS platform. By contrast, HTC’s One M9 is a thick block of precision-machined metals, its sharp angles exaggerated by a dual-anodization manufacturing process, its software a heavily customized version of the much more mutable Android Lollipop. There’s so much more to say – but it’s all been said; to get the full picture of each of these handsets you’ve got to check out the full reviews. We called the iPhone 6 “excellence exemplified” despite its aesthetic devolution from previous models, and we criticized HTC for too little evolution in its product since last year’s outstanding One M8. Check those out to get the lay of th...
