Version 4.1 of Google Maps for Android has a new search results page, which provides “all the info you want on one page.” There are several new buttons that let you get directions, see a place on the map, see it in Street View, or call it.
Also new are: the ability to swipe for more results, a Latitude widget for the homescreen, and a Maps live wallpaper, which lets you “see nearby friends or a map each time you open your home screen.”
