Google Maps for iPhone gets Facebook integration

When you drop a pin in your current location you can then share it with Facebook friends without toggling between apps. It all happens within Google Maps.

As well as the main Facebook site -- be it in desktop or mobile form -- the new feature also works with the Facebook Messenger app, a setting that could prove invaluable for when groups of friends are all trying to meet up with each other on a night out.

The updates to the iOS iPhone and iPad version of Google Maps brings a number of features that Android device owners take for granted. As well as Facebook integration, the updated app also has improved transit directions including for public transport.
