TORONTO, 2014-10-7 — /Travel PR News/ — Toronto Pearson is thrilled to announce its recent work with Google Maps to enhance the passenger experience by offering indoor Google Maps. Toronto Pearson is one of the first Canadian airports to offer indoor Google Maps.

Our passengers can now use Google Maps and Google Maps for mobile, to discover key points of interest in the areas pre-security and post-security in both our Terminals, before they board their flights. Indoor Google Maps enables passengers to zoom in and see the floor plans of our Airport to locate amenities, restaurants and retail locations.
