Google Maps for iPhone Now Searches Google Contacts and Local Categories

Google Maps for iPhone Now Searches Google Contacts and Local CategoriesiOS: Google Maps for iPhone got a major update today, now showing your contacts' addresses when you search for them by name. Also in version 1.1 is an easier way to look for local places by choosing from categories such as restaurants, gas stations, and more.

Google Maps will also bring in your contacts' addresses from your web cache, as long as you're signed into Google, so you don't even need the addresses stored locally on your iPhone.

The new Nearby Places feature makes it easier to discover new places or run errands in unfamiliar areas.

You can download or update the app from iTunes now, but there's unfortunately still no iPad-optimized version available yet.
