CONCLUSION

Check out the pictures gallery for yourself! This software is super functional and did exactly what I wanted it to do and more. My only warning is to be careful using it if you are on a limited data plan, because it really does what it says — keeps your weather information up to date constantly… which is great for those of us with unlimited data, but pricey for those of us without.

Google Maps 2.3 has arrived!

This release offers more than just bug fixes too! It’s got walking directions, POI reviews, street view, and transit alerts too!

[ad]

We’re excited to announce the availability of Google Maps for mobile version 2.3 with Street View on Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile. Street View was previously released on Google Maps for Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone. Street View lets you access street level imagery to help orient yourself when looking for places, businesses, or getting directions. Say you’re going to meet with friends at an unfamiliar restaurant. Now you can search for it in Google Maps for mobile, click on “Street View”, and see what the place and surrounding area look like. Similarly, say you need to get to a shop in a part of town you don’t know. Find it using your phone, get directions to it, and see how to get there with full-screen panorama images of every step along the way.

And best part yet? As always, it’s a free download from Google.com/gmm – what more could you ask for?
