New version of Google Maps Mobile released

While the previous version of Google Maps Mobile was only a static viewer for Java enabled devices the newly released version features a native Pocket PC/Smartphone client and adds a few new functions:
- connection to GPS receiver
- routing calculation
- real time traffic (US only I guess)
- find businesses near you
While voice navigation is still absent this is already an interesting development - Google Maps are downloaded dynamically over your data connection and you can choose between street maps and satellite images. Remember the 3D stuff - looks like this is coming to a mobile device near you soon..
On your mobile device, open this link and start the small installer. A flatrate data connection is highly recommended!
