Free App Friday: Yahoo! TimeTraveler

Posted 05/25/2012 at 11:00am | by Florence Ion

In an effort to maximize its relevancy in the mobile sphere, Yahoo! introduced a few new iOS apps this week to the App Store. One that particularly caught my eye was TimeTraveler, which allows you to explore the city you're in by creating easy-to-follow trip plans. The app creates the day's itinerary for you based on where you're starting from, where you want to end up, and how much time you have in between. You could also set your start location and destination at the same address to explore the sights around that area.

4 New Features in Apple Maps for iOS

Word on the street since even before iOS 5 was that Apple has been preparing to boot Google out of Maps.

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with the Google-powered Maps app we’ve had since the original iPhone, it could be argued that it’s time for Apple to shake things up and go their own way -- and that could indeed be happening with iOS 6.

The tech press loves to paint Google as an enemy of Apple (and sometimes, vice versa), but a new lawsuit may bring the two technology titans together again -- as defendants against a company claiming the search giant’s Street View technology infringes on their existing patent.

Today in Google: Voice-activated Maps

Previously only available to Android users with capable handsets, Google has now enabled users of its Chrome browser to search for directions through their computer's microphones. You know, because it's so cool to yell at your computer for directions to that All You Can Eat sushi place you're taking your significant other out to after work. Nope, not weird at all.

Apple has long been rumored to be working on their own mapping data for their iOS devices, and that day may be coming sooner than we think, according to new legal disclaimers discovered under “Map Data” in the beta build of iOS 5.

Stop being so bashful about the habit and give in! Here are three free apps to help reinforce your Google habit with your iOS device or Mac, and three more reasons why Google's services still play a heavy party in our daily lives.

The notion of that is kind of scary, by the way. But we'll deal.

Today, Google released the Google Map Maker, an app that enables people to add to and update Google maps for various locations around the globe. Currently, only 15 percent of the world's population has actual detailed maps of their neighborhoods, so this project will hopefully encourage users to contribute to maps of their 'hoods.
