A fact from Google Maps (app) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 December 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the release of Google Maps as an application on iOS caused iOS 6 upgrades to surge 30%?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/December.

Did you know nomination

I have nominated this article for "did you know". Here is the review (will automatically update itself): The Anonymouse (talk • contribs) ^{[Merry Christmas!]} 09:52, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It did get DYK, as noted at the top of this talk page. The Anonymouse (talk | contribs) 15:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why hardly any information about the Google Maps for Android?

This article starts out saying that the Google Maps app was released for Android on September 23, 2008 and iOS on December 13, 2012, then absolutely nothing else about it for Android. Considering it was available for Android first, it shouldn't be an iOS (iPhone/iPad) centric article. It should have information about the different releases of the Android app, including the release dates and what features were added or removed in each release, including the latest update to it, which recently underwent a major change.

The version information is incorrect for Android. It is currently at v7.6.1 Brian (talk) 16:29, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feature History (addition/removal)

I think it is worth documenting which versions/releases of the app have significant feature additions or removal. For example v7.0 for Android removed these and more:

 - My Maps
 - Offline Maps
 - "Save as Contact"
 - OPTIONS
   - Zoom buttons
   - Scale
   - Measure tool

I made the following changes:
