As part of an update to the Maps app today, Google is adding fully native integration with Uber. You can set a destination, pick an Uber type, book it, monitor its location, and call the driver – all directly from Google Maps. This is excellent. While I did see an update to Maps on my phone today, the feature doesn’t appear to be live for me just yet, so there’s probably a server-side switch on this.
Google Maps 9.43.2 has added 100% native Uber integration, and it looks awesome was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
