These two features are tied to Google Latitude. With the location history dashboard, you can view stats and trends related to your location history; for example, you can see how much time you’re spending at home or at work.
You can now also tap Home to let your friends know that you’re, well, not out. Once you’ve checked in at home, that location will appear at the top of the location list when you’re checking in near there.
Another new feature is related to Google’s reviews engine Hotpot, letting you add your own “aspects” of a business – for example, if you’ve found a restaurant with great live music, you can add that aspect to that place.
Google Maps 5.3 is available in the Android Mar ket for devices running Android 1.6 or later.
