Finding a restaurant using Google Maps on an iPhone or iPad has become even more precise with the rollout of a new Google Maps feature that predicts how much customers will like a specific restaurant.

Using data that Google Maps has on its customers, for instance, information about places that they have visited in the past and their dining preferences, the Yelp-like feature will display a match card for restaurants the customer might like.

iTunes describes it as, "Our new 'match' feature will help you find your one true love. And by love, we mean your next favorite cheeseburger. Tap on a food or drink spot to see how likely you are to enjoy it based on your unique preferences — so you can spend more time eating and less time searching for places to go."
