A few weeks ago Google has released Google Maps for mobile with Transit directions for BlackBerry and Java-based handsets. Now, they’re bringing the same feature to Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 based devices, to help users take advantage of the public transport in more than 50 cities.
I’ve no doubts, more cities will be added in the future, but for the time being, it’s not bad at all.
In addition to the handy new feature, the updated version of Google Maps for mobile also features star-ratings for businesses as well as user-generated content that will surface in search results allowing you to see what real people think about a particular business or place.
In a nutshell, you do want the new version of Google Maps. Hop over to google.com/gmm and take it from there…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
