Internet heavyweight Google has offered powerful mobile services for some time now. Even so, the new Google Maps for Mobile takes things a step further. If you have a Palm OS or Windows Mobile smartphone, Google Maps for Mobile gives you most of the functionality of the desktop version. Although it runs on your handset instead of a desktop Web browser, it's an exceedingly versatile and useful application.
At Google's site, you can download and install either version directly onto your handheld. On a basic level, Google Maps for Mobile lets you view detailed road and satellite maps. Once you input the desired location, you can zoom in by pressing your phone's center control pad button, or zoom out again by hitting the Zoom Out soft button (at least on a Windows Mobile handheld; see below). One nice touch is that you can jump several zoom levels in one shot simply by pressing either button multiple times in fast succession
