With Google Maps – the widely used navigation and location service – now going through a major transformation to become more than just a mere routes guide, the future is shaping up to be quite promising. As a recent news item, Google has entered into a partnership with members of the elite media, including the New York Times, Lonely Planet, and Infatuation, to feature conceived lists of restaurants and places to visit of the given selected popular holiday destinations in the US and Canada. This partnership is an important step for Google to ensure that map users can access the entire trip experience conveniently and from a single source.
