Google has just released a new version of their
Google Maps for Mobile application for Windows Mobile users. What is it good for?
- Checking out real-time traffic congestion sites.
- Getting detailed directions with step by step instructions.
- Saving favorite places or routes.
- Local business searches with contact information.
- Enhanced business information including more details on businesses, with hours of operation, and amenities etc.
- Interactive maps with the ability to zoom in and out, move in all directions, and switch to satellite imagery mode.
- Monitor your data consumption in real time, so you know how many kbs you're ripping through.
The Windows Mobile Device has GPS-enabled maps for Windows Mobile 2003 and higher versions. You can download the application straight from
the web and sync up, or visit
www.google.com/gmm. Google Maps for Mobile is also available for Palms, Blackberrys, Motorolas, Nokias, and a
ton of other devices.

Wow, I love Google Maps. This runs great on my MDA!

I'm glad they finally made a version for my WM5 phone. I went ahead and installed it.
I also have Windows Live Search installed. I did notice that Live Search is faster at finding my location and directions than Google Map. Also Google maps sometimes displays a connection error, even though I'm in a 3-bar area.
But these are just small problems. I've been waiting for Google to make a WM5 compatible software, and now since its here. For me, both programs are keepers

This is awesome news. The Java Midlet never worked real well on WM5.
