If you don’t know what Google Maps is by now then you’ve either been on a different planet or you’ve been getting very lost on this one. Google Maps has been transforming the way I, for one, find my way round strange cities or locate great bars and restaurants. One of the problems though is that I have needed a PC to use it, which is not so good when I’m walking down roads I don’t recognise. Well problem solved, or so it seems. Because now Google Maps is accessible by PDA.
This version lets you do all the things you should be used to and unable to live without by now. You can locate streets, companies and other points of interest like hotels and restaurants; fly round the world viewing satellite imagery from every country on Earth with some incredible footage of different landscapes and wild animals. And, more usefully, Google Maps is one of the best route finders available allowing you to generate directions from any two points on the globe. Or virtually any two anyway.
