Google Maps For BlackBerry Updated To v3.2 With Layers Integration

Posted by Mauricio on Oct 21, 2009 at 6:16 PM | Comments

Google Maps for BlackBerry has been updated to version 3.2 with some new features including “layers” integration, an awesome feature that allows you to get the most out of mapping and navigating the area you’re in.

Layers make it easy to view various types of information on your map and are especially helpful in situations when you’re traveling somewhere new. For example, you can turn on the Wikipedia layer to read entries about nearby places, then use the transit lines layer to help map out a route. Or you can use the My Maps feature of Google Maps to create a collection of places you’re planning to visit on your trip and then use Google Maps for mobile to access it from the road. You can also turn on the Google Latitude layer to see your friends’ locations.

To download the new version OTA visit m.google.com/maps from your BlackBerry Browser, or visit the same link from your desktop browser for more info.
