Google Maps for Mobile encompasses business directory

Ooh, you all know how much I love Google Maps for Mobile (e.g. for S60, but also for other platforms). It just got itself a 'server-side' upgrade, adding in a full business directory. You don't need to update your software, just search for a business name (e.g. "Computer Training" or "La Fontana" [a local restaurant]). Some screens below, plus link.

Read on in the full article.

Well routing doesn't work in Mumbai :-( , but then it never did.

The search is very accurate - I searched for Pizza Hut and it showed me correct results in the exact order of distance from my current location. But it is not able to chart out a route, that's all ("routing is not available in your region").

Thanks, it's great that you're here to tell us these things.

It's a bit like that Harry Enfield character who kept saying "I couldn't help noticing that I'm considerably richer than you." in a brummie accent.

Hi slitchfield,

Thanks for the information.

I just have joined this forum and I get to know about new things which I didn't know.
