Mapping applications are an important tool in the smartphone armory and Google Maps, which is developed by the same hands that make the Android OS that it sits on, is an excellent option for anyone that has ever been lost or caught looking for directions. 

The application includes navigation software for added help in finding your way, if you download the latest beta and includes new social networking features like geo-tagging friends and local information through the Places feature.

The application is easy to use and fast, depending on the quality of your local connection and very accurate. Maps can be used in a standard mode or with satellite images.
