谷歌在控制地图应用程序的战斗中前进了一步

苹果使用自己刚起步的地图应用程序代替谷歌地图的决定引起了很多议论。虽然我在其他方面很喜欢iPhone5,但我认为苹果地图应用程序是设备上“最大的败笔”，也是”一种从熟悉的谷歌应用程序上的倒退。“        这次失策对谷歌来说却是一件好事儿，谷歌借机宣传了运行在Android系统上的非常健全的地图应用程序的一些最新改进。这包括同步手机电脑搜索的功能，为离线使用保存地图的功能和为骑自行车的人规划路线的功能。 转载请注明：Linux人社区>英文资讯翻译专版.编译 英文原文： Google Moves Ahead in Fight to Dominate the Map Apps Apple has been taking lots of justified heat for its decision to replace Google Maps on the iPhone with a fledgling, and flawed, maps app of its own. In my otherwise favorable review of the new iPhone 5, I called Apple's maps app "the biggest drawback" on the device and "a step backward from the familiar Google app." This flub by its archrival has been a gift to Google, which has taken the opportunity to publicize some recent, quietly announced improvements to its already-solid maps app that runs on phones using Google's Android operating system, the iPhone's biggest competitors. These include the ability to sync mobile map searches with those made on a computer, the ability to save maps for offline use, and routing for bicyclists. 视频地址（带中文字幕）：http://live.wsj.com/video/mossberg-reviews-new-google-maps-app-on-android/9EEE579D-9D17-4F4F-8054-3F0287F253BB.html
