New Feature for Google Maps for Android

Some people may have noticed but for those who haven't, google maps released an update recently. No surprise there. However, under "My Places" in the "offline" section you can now download large map segments to your device to use when you know you will not have service. This could be old news to some of you but I figure there are at least a few of us who may have missed this new feature. It was actually a few updates back when it first appeared but it did not function properly on my Sprint Evo. They used to limit you significantly and although there are still limits, they cover a much larger area that I found much more user friendly.
