Google Maps Updated to v8.2 with In-Navigation Voice Actions and Biking support [APK Download]

Google Maps for Android updated to Version 8.2 with some new features. These new features includes a Biking elevation support (beside public transport, driving and walking), and also a conversational voice actions while in navigation.

The biking elevation feature is really neat, but listed as beta. Basically, you get a timeline of your route so you can choose one with the least climbing. It even compares multiple routes in the search interface. The other biggie is voice actions in navigation mode. There's a button that initiates the voice mode so you can issue commands and ask questions. It understands things like "how long until I arrive?" and "What's my next turn?" It also accepts commands like muting voice guidance and showing traffic.

What's New on Maps 8.2 :

• Voice actions in navigation mode (how long until destination, show traffic, etc.)
• Bicycle directions show elevation, including elevation comparison for multiple routes (less climbing!)
• Your Places now appears in slide-out nav menu
• Voice icon replaces the "person" in search bar that used to load Places
• Uber card now shown in the car tab of navigation instead of just public transportation and walking
• ETA no longer in bold type
