Google Maps is out of Beta
October 7th, 2005 7:53 AM | by Christen da Costa | 8 Comments
Google has combined its Google Maps and Google Local searches into one new site “Google Local” and taken the site out of beta! While Google seems to normally leave their services in beta forever (check out Froogle and News), Google Local seems to have made it out in record time.
Cool new features you’ll see in the live, non-beta version of Google Local?
- Switch between map and satellite view
- Keeps your location cookied so you start off in your zip code
- Reviews of local shops like restaurants
- Categories of stores!
- Hour of operations and more
Not too shabby.
