Google has just released Google Maps 5.5 for Android. The new version adds ‘Check-in’ and ‘Rate’ buttons to Place pages, the option to edit your home address for Latitude and redesigned transit station pages.
When you’re viewing a Place page from Google Maps on your Android device, you now have the option to check in to that place or submit ratings and reviews. This makes leaving a review much easier to access directly from Maps.
