Google Maps Mobile Rocks!

After catching wind from a Google Blog post about Google Maps Mobile for a specific GPS enabled phone, I decided to investigate further using my handy Palm TX with WiFi and Bluetooth.

Upon going to the website for Google Maps Mobile on the Palm, there was a message that recognized that I was on a PalmOS handheld and asked me to install a .prc file for Google Maps. I was hopeful that the program would work with my bluetooth GPS unit, but found that it doesn’t. That lack of bluetooth GPS functionality doesn’t downplay all of the other amazing features that the program offers. You can search, browse in map and satellite mode, get directions, and zoom in to all levels that the web version allows; all through a high speed wifi connection.

I’m still hopeful that Google will eventually enable bluetooth GPS devices, but until then, I’ve got a really handy new piece of software to play around with.
