Google Maps For Treo

Treo1

As always with Google, free — the way it should be.

From the website:

    Take the power of Google Maps with you on your Treo

    Stuck in traffic? Need to find an alternate route? Now you can get the fastest version of Google Maps — with live traffic updates, maps, directions and business locations — designed specifically for Palm OS 5 devices.

    Real-time traffic — See where the congestion is, and estimate delays in over 30 major US metropolitan areas.

    Detailed directions — Your route is displayed on the map itself, together with step-by-step directions.

    Shorter startup time — The fastest access to the local information you want when you're on the go.

    Stylus integration — Interactive, draggable maps let you zoom in or out and move in all directions with a tap or drag of the stylus.

BTW, if you want this stuff for your Windows Mobile phone, you may want to try Windows Live Mobile (http://wls.live.com/). Windows Live Mobile was out a while before Google Maps Mobile for Treo. I've been using the WLM for a couple of months now and it's amazing!

I have Google Maps on my Treo. On our recent trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, I used it extensively. Not as convenient as having a dedicated GPS unit, but the great advantage is that it's available wherever I go! I used it at least 10 times during the week long trip to find my way around town. I give it a thumbs up!
