Google Gesture Search for Android on Google Maps?

Six examples of gesture searches on a touch screen, from the Google patent on Glyphs.

Last week, Google published a paper on a way of navigating on touch screens by tracing out alphanumeric characters. For instance, if you have a list of contacts on your screen, and want to move down to a name that begins with the letter L, you would trace an L on your screen. Looking for a song on your playlist, you might handwrite on your screen the first couple of letters from the song title. By Bill Slawski
