Google adds more advertising to Maps app Aug 8th 2013, 22:35, by Zach Miners, IDG News Service Users of the Google Maps app will soon start seeing more ways to interact with paid content within the app, the company recently announced. After a user performs a search with the app, ads for local businesses will now appear at the bottom of the screen starting Thursday, the company announced in a blog post. The new ads will be coming to Apple's iPhone and iPad and to Android-based smartphones and tablets.

More than 1 billion people use Google Maps services every month, according to the company.
