Google Maps for Mobile gets an upgrade

Today the Official Google Blog is touting an upgrade to Google Maps for Mobile that adds a few nice features. The two biggest new features are for dealing with traffic: First, you can check on traffic conditions without leaving the map. Second, it will now include traffic information when figuring time for driving directions. The other new feature is less amazing but welcome nonetheless: Google Maps for Mobile will now remember your favorite locations and routes, so you don't have to keep typing them in on that tiny keypad. Unfortunately my phone is too puny to handle Google Maps for Mobile, but your probably isn't, so visit the Google Maps for Mobile site or point your phone's browser at google.com/gmm for the free download.
