Google Maps update adds top-rated reviews, photos to Places

[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/google-maps-update.jpg](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/08/google-maps-update-adds-top-rated-reviews-photos-to-places/)  	Updates can be somewhat of an addiction to the [Android](http://www.engadget.com/tag/android/) faithful -- just peep those XDA forums. And even though this particular Google upgrade isn't exactly the [Ice Cream Sandwich](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/07/eric-schmidt-ice-cream-sandwich-coming-in-october-or-november/) of our Autumn dreams, it's still a noteworthy bump to the [oft-used](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/15/google-maps-brings-live-traffic-coverage-to-13-european-countrie/) [Maps app](http://www.engadget.com/tag/googlemaps). Bundled up in version 5.10.0 are two minor, but useful tweaks that'll display your four and five star rated [Places](http://www.engadget.com/tag/google%20places/), as well as letting you tack a photo onto your review. We managed to download the update directly to our phone, but last we checked, the web-based marketplace still hadn't refreshed with the latest offering.
