Richard's Blog » Google Maps on the E75
Sometime ago I wrote rather disparagingly about Telecom's XT network. Recently while travelling I have found it useful as the data side of it is far faster than the CDMA network.
My phone (a Nokia E75) comes with inbuilt GPS. It has its own GPS application but I installed Google Maps and use that instead. Google Maps is brilliant. You can add layers to it such as the Wikipedia layer which provides links to a wide variety of information about the area you are in. You can also add your own points and information to the map as a layer. Layers can be turned on and as required so the map doesn't get too cluttered.
When travelling I can run a search on the business I am looking for and it appears in a new layer in Google Maps complete with the contact information for it. Of course, you can also get directions to the address as well. You can also choose to make your location available so that friends also using Google Maps with GPS can see where you currently are.
