Google Maps adds indoor maps and walking directions for 22 U.S. museums

Indoor mapping should see a huge boom over the next year and Google Maps will most likely lead the way. They just added indoor maps and walking directions for 22 popular U.S. museums. You can now plan your route from exhibit to exhibit, including floors. All you have to do is open Google Maps on your Android phone or tablet and search for the museum that interests you. Of course, if you’re already there you can use the My location feature and get indoor walking directions.
As of right now, Google’s collection of indoor maps totals over 10,000. They only launched this program last November so that’s pretty amazing. Hit the break for the full list of museums added
