Gone are the days when one needed to ask a person on the roadside for a particular direction. In fact, today it seems foolish if someone even tries to do so and a major shift in the attitude is also reflected in the TV advertisements for smart phones. Most technology friendly users are aware that smart phones have changed the way people communicate. They not only help communicate but also assist through a number of applications such as map-based applications.
There are Android development teams that create smart and world-class map based navigation so that the user can find their way through the application rather than depending on someone else. Undoubtedly, these applications offer accurate directions unlike a person on the road who may or may not be aware of the actual directions. While Google Maps provides street maps as well as route planner for traveling by car, bike, public transport or even on foot, the Google Map application provides different ways of finding a direction. Here is a quick look at the various interesting features of Google Map Navigation application that even offshore Android developers can make use of and derive maximum benefits out of it.
=> Android development team can benefit from the feature of searching in plain English because this would give them the opportunity to add this feature to their map based applications. This feature allows users to even search a particular location through the business name or the type of business.
=> Searching by voice is yet another attractive feature that ensures user has to simply speak out and the application will try and search based on that term.
=> While one is going on a particular route, it is also possible for the user to search for any kind of business along a particular route and there is also an option to turn on the popular layers of restaurants, gas stations or parking.
=> The Android development team also gets the opportunity to make use of the satellite view feature, which allows them to view the route through 3D satellite views through Google's high-resolution imagery.
=> The Street view feature is an amazing feature too that enables Android developers to visualize the turns through the Street View imagery.
All these features combine to make this one of the best map based navigation apps and it open a door of opportunities for building similar map based applications for offshore Android developers.
