Google Maps Mobile with Live Traffic

closeThis post was published 3 years 4 months 3 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.

 In case this one missed you Google just released a new version of Google Maps Mobile that now shows real-time traffic. The application runs as a Java Midlet, so you should be able to run it on any phone that supports those including many Pocket PC Phones and Windows Mobile Smartphones.

Seems like the app is a wee bit buggy and some people have tried it with poor results.. Still in the style of all Google apps it is a beta so if you do have problems, come back later….

from the website:

Detailed directions: Whether you plan to walk or drive, your route is displayed on the map itself, together with step-by-step directions.

Integrated search results: Local business locations and contact information appear all in one place, integrated on your map.

Easily movable maps: Interactive, draggable maps let you zoom in or out, and move in all directions so you can orient yourself visually.

Satellite imagery: Get a bird’s eye view of your desired location.

Real-time traffic:New! See where the congestion is, and estimate delays in over 30 major US metropolitan areas

    Interesting concept. I went to download for my T-Mobile SDA phone, but under device compatibility, it says the Maps does not work with T-Mobile USA. Kind of a bummer, since the SDA phone is listed as a compatible device.
