Live from Google IO 2013, Google has announced that new features will be coming to the Google Maps for iPhone later this summer and, what's more, it'll be getting an iPad-specific interface as well!

I didn't manage to catch which of the new features will hit iOS, but they could include Google's new five-point rating system, integrated Google Offers, and more.

Also interesting, Google Maps in the browser will be using WebGL, which is either awesome or scary depending on how it gets implemented.

Anyone else looking forward to Google Maps on iPad? If you haven't tried the iPhone version yet, try it now:
