Google Maps 2.3 now available! at WindowsMobile Cool

Josh, software engineer from Google, tells us all about Google Maps 2.3

This release offers more than just bug fixes too! It’s got walking directions, POI reviews, street view, and transit alerts too!

We’re excited to announce the availability of Google Maps for mobile version 2.3 with Street View on Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile. Street View was previously released on Google Maps for Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone. Street View lets you access street level imagery to help orient yourself when looking for places, businesses, or getting directions. Say you’re going to meet with friends at an unfamiliar restaurant. Now you can search for it in Google Maps for mobile, click on “Street View”, and see what the place and surrounding area look like. Similarly, say you need to get to a shop in a part of town you don’t know. Find it using your phone, get directions to it, and see how to get there with full-screen panorama images of every step along the way.

And best part yet? As always, it’s a free download from Google.com/gmm - what more could you ask for?
