Google Maps now native on UIQ

Following the earlier release of the native Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 versions, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has finally released its popular Google Maps as a native application for Symbian UIQ smartphones.
The new application is certainly faster than a Java midlet, and also (like S60 and Windows Mobile versions) features “My Location” function, which basically gives a guess of your whereabouts. Everything else is pretty much the same…
So Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) smartphone and Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Z8 (actually we’re not sure whether the non-touchscreen “flavor” of the UIQ is supported) owners, point your Opera Mobile to www.google.com/gmm and take it from there.
