Google Maps for mobile

Google Maps for mobile is the official mobile mapping application from Google. Download Google Maps for mobile to your phone, and never carry a paper map again. Google Maps for mobile features include the following:

My Location (beta). Google Maps for Mobile features My Location, a service that allows you to retrieve your current location without the need for GPS. My Location approximates your current location on the map, usually within 1000 meters, by recognizing information broadcast from mobile towers near you. Google Maps for Mobile also uses built-in GPS, or can link to a Bluetooth GPS sensor to more accurately pinpoint your location.

Map and satellite views. Google Maps provides both map and satellite views of an area. The user interface feels like Google Maps does on the desktop. You can scroll in a direction to see more of the map, or zoom in and out using shortcut keys.

Driving directions. It's easy to get turn-by-turn driving directions. Thanks to the My Location feature, you don't even have to enter your starting point.

Business listings.Search for businesses by name (e.g. "Starbucks"), or by type (e.g. "coffee") – then dial the business you're interested in with a single click. Thanks to My Location, it's easy to find nearby businesses without even having to enter your current location.

Traffic. Google Maps will turn highways green, yellow, or red, based on real-time traffic data.

Favorites. Bookmark your favorite places so that you can easily return to them on the map.
