I am always on the lookout for applications that are actually useful for mobile phones. There are a lot of mobile apps out there but few that are actually something that the average person would use. Now a free mapping tool – now that is a winner!!
Last night I downloaded google maps (which is now nearly perfectly integreted with google earth), for my mobile phone (www.google.com.gmm). This means I can view routes, get directions and even find the nearest pizza shop to my location from my mobile. The rendering of the satellite imagery is just as good as on the desktop GE version. This is potentially a GPS killer – why bother with a GPS when you can get it all on your mobile?? The one downside is that you have to connect to the internet to stream the imagery – but with so many cell phone companies including unlimited web access from your mobile it is not a big deal!
