Google Maps 3.4 adds multi-touch support to DROID

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 06 Feb 2010 5:09 User comments (1)

The latest update to Google Maps 3.4 has enabled multi-touch for the Motorola DROID, with pinch-to-zoom now available for the device, at least while using the popular app.

Last week Google updated the Nexus One to have multi-touch, silencing critics who had claimed that Google was purposely leaving out multi-touch for a number of different reasons including not wanting to pay patent royalties to rival Apple.

I updated my G1 to Maps 3.4 today and pinch-to-zoom didn't work so it seems as though this may be DROID-only for time being.
