I think that the current version allows for some catchy classroom integration. This app allows for applications at all levels of the SAMR model. As described above, it would probably be Augmentation. To achieve redefinition, I would modify the current lesson to have students create a shared map and include relevant locations.

Easy and free for locations and navigation
This is an easy to use tool that is free and accessible anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. I have removed every map in my classroom as they are not up to date, but Google Maps is always up to date. It is free, informative, interactive, and easy to use. Students enjoy it!
