You can place the Google Maps widgets directly on your Home Screen or on Today View. The second widget is designed to check traffic conditions and location details before heading out for some work or just for fun.
One of the newly added Google Maps widget is meant to let you easily look for your nearby restaurant or petrol pump (gas station) or navigate to your home or office - all with a single tap. Google Maps for iOS has been updated with two widgets to help users quickly navigate using their Apple devices.
