Google Maps Platform web services are an interface for requesting Maps API data from external services and using the data within your Maps applications. These services are designed to be used in conjunction with a map, as per the License Restrictions in the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service.
Google is rolling out a new app update on both Android and iOS. The update comes with a number of feature changes, although the most obvious difference is the new logo. To mark the Maps anniversary, the app icon and general branding is changing to focus more on the Google Maps pin.
Since Google Map APIs support both json and xml , it can be safely said they they are implemented in REST.
