Google Maps for mobile

Some of us have a great sense of direction, and others find
themselves, well, a little lost at times. For those in the latter
camp, you can thank Cingular for launching the href="http://business.cingular.com/businesscenter/blackberry8800/?_requestid=182418"onClick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outgoing/cingular_com'">
BlackBerry® 8800, the latest open GPS-enabled device from a
major U.S. carrier. That means that when you use

href="http://www.google.com/gmm/gps.html?utm_source=en-et-blog&utm_medium=et&utm_source=en">
Google Maps for mobile
, your location automatically shows up on
the map.

When you download Google Maps for mobile and fire it up, you'll
notice something quite unusual: a blinking blue dot showing you
exactly where you are! You can use your auto-detected location to
get directions and perform local searches without even entering
your location — instead of "pizza 94043", just enter
"pizza" — and we'll automatically know you want
pizza in the zip code "94043."

So here's a great big hats off to Cingular — this BlackBerry®
8800 with GPS is awesome!
