Computer Trend - Google presents the latest version of Google Maps for Android, version 5.3 Google Maps 5.3 for Android, lets you see your Google Location History dashboard, check in at “home,” and add your own aspects for places when rating them.
Google Location History
These features will connect with Google's Latitude. You can enable Location History from your computer or from Latitude’s Settings menu on your phone. Location History is 100% opt-in and is private to you and nobody else. You can always delete any of your location history from the Manage History tab or correct the estimated work and home locations from the dashboard. With these services users can see statistics and trends related to the history of your location, for example, you can see how much you are spending time at home, at work or out.
Check in at home
Users can also press the Home button to let your friends know that you are on the inside or outside the home. After check-in at home, that location will appear at the top of the list of locations when you're checking nearby. Just like any other check-in, you can choose with whom to share your home check-ins (along with your name and address info).
Add your own aspects for places
Another new feature is related to the Google engine reviews. Through this service Google will let you add your own "aspects" of a business - for example, if you have found a restaurant with good live music, you can add that aspect to that place.
Google Maps 5.3 is available in the Android Market for devices running with Android 1.6 or newer anywhere Google Maps and Latitude are already available.
