Google Maps for Android Gets Home Checkins and Location History Dashboard



Google Maps new version for Andriod 5.3 comes up with new features like the ability to check in at home and a location history dashboard.

You can views trends and stats related to your location history, for example , how much time you are spending at home or at work.

You can now also tap Home to let your friends know that you’re, well, not out. Once you’ve checked in at home, that location will appear at the top of the location list when you’re checking in near there. 

Another new feature is related to Google’s reviews engine Hotpot, letting you add your own “aspects” of a business  for example, if you’ve found a restaurant with great live music, you can add that aspect to that place. 


Google Maps 5.3 is available in the Android Market for devices running Android 1.6 or later.
