Google Maps for Mobile 1.7
Google Maps for mobile is a free download that lets you view maps and satellite imagery, driving directions and route-planning services. The interface is similar to the original Web-based Google Maps, with menu picks conveniently mapped to the phone’s buttons. Since the application is designed for users on-the-go, it provides features like click-to-call and saved search history that are especially useful for mobile phone users.
