Google Maps has added two valuable features today for users in Australia and New Zealand: Driving Directions and Business Search:
The "Get Directions" feature is available for both Australia and New Zealand roads and streets while "Find Businesses" is available only for Australia.
Google is also releasing Google Maps for Mobile to mobile users in this region today, making the availability of local business search and directions that much more useful while out and about.
