Google Maps for iOS gets full-screen maps, Zagat review filters and quicker voice search

Another week, another update for Google Maps on iOS.

If you’re picky about your food options, you can also now filter your searches to only include restaurants with Zagat ratings. And if you want to be quicker about looking up directions for them, the update lets you access voice commands by tapping on the mic or starting to type and then asking for “directions to.”
