Google Maps Attains 1 Billion Installations

I think that we can all agree: in the grand scheme of large numbers, 1-billion is a pretty big one. This week, Google added Maps as the second entry on the list of their development efforts that enjoy over 1-billion installations; the first was Gmail (starting off the list in May of this year). Given the cross-platform nature of Google Maps, reaching this milestone is even more significant: the 1-billion count only tracks downloads from the Google Play store (meaning if you factored in the Apple App Store downloads, it would be a far higher number). Of course, it is also true that the data may be a bit skewed by the fact that Maps comes pre-installed on a large number of Android devices –which makes it a huge win for the operating system when you consider it is an indicator of just how many devices are activated and out there now. Is Google Maps your go-to app for navigation or do you prefer Apple Maps? Google Maps Attains 1 Billion Installations is a post from: Good e-Reader
