Google has updated Google Maps on Android 4 devices to Google Maps 6.5 with a redesigned Navigation home screen to make it easier to enter a new destination or select from recent and favourite locations by swiping left or right.

If your device has a high pixel density screen, such as those on Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S II, Droid Razr and others, you’ll now get higher resolution map tiles that take better advantage of the pixels-per-inch on your screen. The result is a crisper, less cluttered map that is easier to read:

The update also lets you choose to prioritize a particular transit mode (such as the bus or underground) and route options like the fastest or the recommended one.

To start using Google Maps 6.5 for Android, download the update from Google Play
