New Google Maps for Everyone

Google Maps' redesign web app is now officially open to everyone— and no invites are required.

Yesterday night, @GoogleMaps tweet said: "user simply have to sign up to access the new app".  

Under the "desktop" section of the new Google Maps' about page, users are prompted to click "Try now." Doing so will send them to a preview of the revamped app. From now on, whenever users visit the maps.google.com URL, they will be redirected to google.com/maps/preview.

Similarly, users who still have the old version of Maps will see an option to "Get the new Google Maps" on the app's left-hand side.

Previously, the new Maps was only accessible on an invite-only basis.

The new Google Maps for desktop debuted in May at Google's I/O 2013 conference.

Will you try out the new Maps? Tell me in the comments, below.
