Google has added voice search for Google Maps to Chrome, offering users a (sometimes) faster way to get directions.
The main Google Maps interface in Chrome now includes a microphone icon. When you click it, a "Speak Now" dialog appears. In the picture show when I tested to search Dublin city. It gave me a good result.
Google Maps voice search is not perfect, particularly for somewhat exotic-sounding places and names, but it seems fairly reliable overall.
And since smartphone users already use voice input to get directions and other info, it's good to see that desktop PC users (browser) can get voice search tool too.
