Google Maps for Windows Mobile is a smartphone-based version of the popular online map service.
Google Maps has been transforming the way we find our way around strange cities or locate great bars and restaurants. One of the problems though is that traditionally you need a PC to use it, which is not so good when you're walking down roads you don't recognize. Well problem solved, or so it seems. Because now Google Maps is accessible by Smartphone.
This version lets you do all the things you should be used to and unable to live without by now. You can locate streets, companies and other points of interest like hotels and restaurants; fly round the world viewing satellite imagery from every country on Earth with some incredible footage of different landscapes and wild animals. And, more usefully, Google Maps is one of the best route finders available allowing you to generate directions from any two points on the globe. Or virtually any two anyway.
Another great feature of Google Maps for Windows Mobile is the inclusion of Google's Latitude service. This social app allows you to track the position of your friends anywhere on the planet. You simply need to create a Google profile then load in your contacts. Google Maps for mobile then displays their locations on the map, making it easier to hook up (or avoid them!) if they are near you.
Google Maps for mobile is one of those essential applications that significantly enhances the usefulness of your Windows Mobile phone.
