Combining directions, maps, and satellite imagery, Google Maps is a free download that lets you find local hangouts and businesses across town or across the country — right from your phone.

Detailed directions: Whether you plan to walk or drive, your route is displayed on the map itself, together with step-by-step directions.

Integrated search results: Local business locations and contact information appear all in one place, integrated on your map.

Easily movable maps: Interactive, draggable maps let you zoom in or out, and move in all directions so you can orient yourself visually.

Satellite imagery: Get a bird's eye view of your desired location.

Or just skip the bull and visit http://www.google.com/gmm with your phones web browser.


I just downloaded it onto my phone and it works just like the version on the net. When you visit the link given it automatically chooses the right version for your model of phone.

nah it somewhat doesn't work. Getting files on my phone from my pc wouldn't be a problem.

that's why they prohibit getting it on your computer and then sending it to your phone via bluetooth. They obviously have a deal with the providers.

That's what he said.

I thought he meant that google had a deal with the cellphone companies to stick you with the bandwidth fees.
