Check out Google's introductory video:
Just two months after giving us a peek at its new Google Maps Web interface, Google has opened up the service to all.
Formerly available on an invite-only basis, the revamped desktop interface was made available to all Internet users on Tuesday. Google gave us a preview of the completely overhauled service at the I/O 2013 developers conference in May.
The update uses vector data instead of graphical tiles, allowing maps are to load faster, even when using a new "Zoom out" feature that lets users zoom out to outerspace.The update, which is available at the Google Maps information page, sports a new full-screen interface and a visual update based on Google Now-inspired "cards" aesthetic.
Users can also take photo tours of locations and view public transportation alternatives complete with comparison charts that show differences in overall travel time.
