Google Play services 6.5
Posted by Ian Lake, Developer Advocate
To offer more seamless integration of Google products within your app, we’re excited to start the rollout of the latest version of Google Play services.
Google Play services 6.5 includes new features in Google Maps, Google Drive and Google Wallet as well as the recently launched Google Fit API. We are also providing developers with more granular control over which Google Play services APIs your app depends on to help you maintain a lean app.
Google Maps
We’re making it easier to get directions to places from your app! The Google Maps Android API now offers a map toolbar to let users open Google Maps and immediately get directions and turn by turn navigation to the selected marker. This map toolbar will show by default when you compile against Google Play services 6.5.
