Be prepared to see more [relevant] advertising in #GoogleMaps  
Like it or not, the web and advertising go together like peanut butter and jelly. It's the reason Google is worth billions of dollars. That's the way it is, though it doesn't mean ads have be intrusive or automatically skipped. Case in point, Google is experimenting with different types of ads for local businesses in Maps that might appeal

Say hello to branded advertisement pins, coming soon to #GoogleMaps. #android
Google's main form of revenue is advertisements and today the company announced a new form of advertisement for businesses within Google Maps. Google states that roughly one-third of all searches made with mobile are location related, so they want to make it easier for businesses to be found on Maps. Going forward, companies will be able to pay to have their logo added as a pin on Google Maps so that users will be more likely to spot them and fin...

+Jon Miller Why? If you read it then you'd know the only difference will be that companies that pay will have their logo instead of the default icon for businesses...
Waze has been doing this for ages now and that's worked just fine. You barely even notice it.

Google Maps driving mode
Google Maps driving mode appears to be rolling out worldwide.

#GoogleMaps Driving Mode is a bit like #navigation without a set destination. You get the top-down navigation view with the arrow representing your car, but you just drive wherever you want. #Maps will suggest destinations on the screen based on your past navigation history, though. It's a handy interface to keep an eye on road closures and traffic.

The problem with #DrivingMode is, that it doesn't seem to be available everywhere. It wasn't on my phone though I have version 9.25 of Google Maps installed (you need at least version 9.19). I used this trick from the LifeHacker website ( http://goo.gl/sPbTho ):

1. Open Google Maps.
2. Navigate to Settings in the slide-out panel on the left side of the app.
3. At the bottom of the settings list, select “Sign out of Google Maps.”
4. Tap the Multitasking button on your phone and swipe away Google Maps.
5. Re-open Google Maps.
6. Open the slide-out navigation panel on the left side of the app.
7. You should now see a “Start driving” button on the list of options.
8. Navigate to Settings and sign back in to Google Maps.

Worked like a charm for me.

May the Plus be with you,
+Jens Graikowski​​

#GoogleMaps will be offering #PromotedPins, so get your business On The Map soon!
Mobile's increasing dominance is reason behind more ad goo for Google Maps.

Thanks to some new changes to AdWords, Google Maps will now let users view ongoing in-store promotions and search the store's inventory. #News #Google #GoogleMaps
Advertising has always been a big deal, but with respect to Google, it's literally a majority of income. According to Investopedia's Eric Rosenburg, 'The bulk of Google’s $66 billion revenue in 2014 came from its proprietary advertising service, Google AdWords. Of that revenue, 68 percent – or just over $45 billion – came from Google’s own websites.' Forbes, too, has pointed out how positively profitable advertising is to Mountain View. To this e...
