Ricky shot me an IM and said that Google Maps now works natively on S60 and even supports the built in GPS on the N95, shenanigans I thought, then I went to the website on my phone and low and behold here it finally is! It isn’t as powerful feature wise as Nokia Maps, but I can get a fix ridiculously fast. Watch his blog for a full on review, I’m sticking to Nokia maps since I already have all my landmarks setup. The S60 Google Maps client lacks the “favorites” feature I so desperatly loved in the Java version, then again GPS is nothing to sneeze at.

Try it out for yourself, whip out your N95 and go to http://www.google.com/gmm
