We're not sure if it's because of the Apple Maps debacle, or if it's just business as usual, but Google has lately been releasing updates to Google Maps like there's no tomorrow. The latest update brings 25 million new building footprints to Google Maps, making Google's map offering even more detailed and comprehensive.
The new building footprints have been created by a computer, which processed actual aerial imagery and rendered the shapes of buildings in the maps.
Users can help out and fix inaccurate building footprints in Google Map Maker, as well as assign businesses to existing buildings or even draw the entire building footprints themselves.
