Today Google has just announced the release of their update to Google Maps App. To show off it’s new tricks, Google took it out to Detroit for a spin! Instead of the typical blight shots and ‘ruin porn’ they focused on some of the city’s classic pit stops as well as some of the new additions to downtown Detroit; a ride on the People Mover, rooting on the Tigers baseball game, a rock concert at Saint Andrew’s, and of course a bite to eat at Lafayette Coney Island.

Explore new places, discover local favorites, and navigate your world with the new Google Maps app. The new Google Maps draws you a tailored map for every search and click you make. So whatever you’re trying to find or wherever you’re trying to go, you’ll always have a map highlighting the things that matter most. Available on Android phones and tablets with a simple, easy-to-use design.”
