There might be a few numbers of navigation, but none actually manage to outshine Google Maps Navigation. Well, the trustworthy Google Maps has just been updated to version 5.2. This new update comes with three major changes.

First of all, the new edition allows users to tweet their reviews of places and share recommendations with Hotpot friends. Next up, there’s Latitude pinging, which enables you to send a quick message to a nearby Latitude friend rather than having to use a text or call; they’ll receive an Android notification from you asking them to check in at a place, and when they check in using your request, you’ll get a notification right back so you know which place to go to meet up with them. Finally, a new ‘Search More Places’ button has been added under the standard list of places to check in at, which ought to prove helpful in highly congested cities with multiple places stacked atop one another.

Hit that Android Market link below to get your update going, and if you’re fixing to use that new ping feature, you and your friends will need v5.2.
