The latest incarnation of Google Maps for has just hit the Android Market, and it has an interesting new feature – it maps inside buildings.
Whilst you’ve no doubt used Google Maps to get your bearing outdoors, Google Maps for Android now allows you to see where you are and where you want to go when you’re indoors. Is this the end of those giant floorplans you see in shopping malls? It could be.

The new Places home screen means you can see popular searches for your current location, and you can find the best spots wherever you go:
