Google’s rolling out an update to Google Maps on Android that integrates your Google Calendar events and Google contacts into Google Maps.

"With your Google Calendar events on the map, now you've got one more way to personalize and make the most of your Google Maps experience," wrote Zach Maier, product manager at Google Maps, in a blog post.

The update also adds labeling for saved locations and Google Contacts integration to navigate to your friends house by searching for their name- as long as their address is saved under Google Contacts.

To ensure that your events appear on Google Maps, enter the address in the “Where” box when you create an event in Google Calendar. As long as you’re signed into both Google Calendar and Google Maps, the next time you open Google Maps you’ll see your Google Calendar events right there on the map.

Earlier this week, Google added a new series of voice commands to Google Maps for Android, allowing drivers to use voice commands and ask questions without having to pickup their handsets.

 

The update is rolling out to Android globally today. No word on when it will arrive on other platforms.
