Maps, maps, maps and more maps

Posted by Carl Sjogreen, Senior Product Manager

Becoming a "tab" on the Google homepage is like graduating from University - for a product at Google, its a sign that you've really arrived, proven your stuff, and are now ready to be showcased to the millions of people who use Google every day.

We're pleased to announce that as of today we're making Google Maps Australia available as a link (or tab as we call it) on the Google Australia homepage. This means that access to our maps, local search results, and driving directions are now just one click away.

There's been a mountain of great news and new Google Maps features in Australia recently. From easily embeddable maps to the Aussie engineers behind the product, to draggable driving directions, to Mapplets, local business reviews and more

The team here in Sydney has been working hard on making Google Maps the best mapping product out there - both globally and for our Australian users.

The fact that we've got a team of dedicated Googlers based here who can listen to your feedback and make enhancements quickly helps set us apart. More and more Australians are using Google Maps daily, and we're eager to hear your feedback as we continue in our efforts to make Google Maps the easiest to use, most comprehensive and most innovative map of Australia.

Happy mapping!
