Google today announced an update to its Google Maps 4.5 for Android handsets. The new version of Google Maps for Android for the first time offers voice-guided navigation for those walking between points A and B. Walking Navigation, which is in beta, lets users tap into the Street View tools — by dragging the Pegman — within Google Maps to get a grounds-eye view of their path as they walk, and will speak directions, as well as offer non-intrusive alerts, such as vibrations, when it is time to make a turn. Google Maps 4.5 for Android will also rotate with the user as he/she makes turns along the route. The latest version of Maps is a free download from the Android Market.
