I really don’t want Google Offers unless it’s part of a separate app.

Maps and Navigation, IMO, is one of the things that really makes Android stand out vs. the iPhone. I hope they don’t crap it up.

I dunno, I’ve got Soundhound infinity from the 10 cent sale and I’m not too eager to either pay or get stuck with limited tagging…

Anyone have an example of a place that has panorama enabled? I want to check it out.

New G maps works only if you have 4.0.4 installed which is what the update is updated to work with, so verizon customers that have 4.0.2 won’t have street names. Yay verizon

I’ve got both installed. As far as I know, Soundhound is still missing NFC.

I think Soundhound is a LITTLE more accurate, but there have been plenty of songs that Shazam got right that Soundhound couldn’t identify (or mis-identified).

If you use Soundhound even minimally, get the other. Worst case scenario, you buy the paid version and are out a couple bucks.

Gads! Decided to do the update. Did a simple test of Nav. Boy was it off!

Offers IN maps? Jesus. It never ends. I pray that is a layer you can shut the f*** off.

I tried using it at Ikea once and it didn’t work very well. I assume because it’s a huge concrete building with a basement and whatnot.. They have WiFi there but it only works in their cafeteria.

You just have to disable the notification in the Offers Settings

I sure hope they give us a way to disable Google Offers integration. One of the reasons I use Google Maps is because there are no ads. “Offers” and ads are the same thing to me. Maybe if they give us an option to white list the types of “offers” we care about, I wouldn’t mind it so much.

Nope.

Just tested it outside on my Verizon Gnex.

Still says “in 800 feet, turn left”

Ugh

I’ve always been a SoundHound fan myself, but I wonder if it has this feature…
