Google Maps for Mobile adds business directions
Published by Steve Litchfield at 9:57 UTC, January 8th 2009
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 full directions support for local businesses. You don't need to update your software, just search for a business name (e.g. "Computer Training" or "La Fontana" [a local restaurant]) in 'Get directions'. Some screens below, plus link.

You can get Google Maps for Mobile 2.3 on your S60 phone by going to m.google.com in Web.

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").

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.
