Google Maps for Palm Treo
Filed in: Misc Add comments

I normally limit my posts to Mac related things, but this is just too cool to leave unremarked. Today Google released Google Maps for Palm Treo and it just plain awesome. It works just like you would expect: the five-way Navigator scrolls the map and any direction (you can also use the stylus). In addition the side buttons zoom in and out just as you would expect. Prior to this official release from Google there was a program available called KMaps that would allow you to do some of these things, but unfortunately it was Java (and so required the memory eating Java runtime) and just plain did not work as well. In addition to maps you get (as you would expect) full satellite views.

You can search for locations in more or less the same way you can in Google Maps, with to/from directions, nearby businesses, and realtime traffic (in a few cities). Running on my old Sprint Treo 650 (without the benefit of the much higher bandwidth of EVDO as in the newer Treo 700) it is a bit sluggish, but still eminently usable. This one is definitely a keeper! Thanks Google!
