Google Business Views now available for Android users!

Earlier today, Google Business View took a big leap in the right direction. The new feature from Google is now available on Android devices! With this new advancement, people can have the 'Street View' technology in the palm of their hands.

Android users will have indoor walk-through capabilities for their local venues & businesses. A GPS for the inside of businesses, down to what floor to take an elevator? Score! This new app is available to users in the U.S. & Japan, the two countries where venue owners can already upload their own indoor maps (learn something new everyday). Of course, the Google Business Imagery is the best part of the new app. Using 360-degree panoramic technology, users can see the inside of their local stores, businesses, & restaurants as if they were walking through it on foot.

 One popular business that is taking advantage of this feature is the Four Seasons Restaurant on East 52nd Street. I'm a dedicated Android user myself & I know I'm excited about this new addition. If you have an Android, & for some odd reason you don't have the mobile app on your phone, it's available on Google Play. Take that, Iphone!

You can log onto www.vosmap.com to complete your Google Business Views as well!
