Google Maps with transit directions comes to S60, Windows Mobile
Adding a feature BlackBerry users have already enjoyed for a little while now, the S60 and Windows Mobile clients for Google Maps have now been imbued with transit directions, making it easier than ever to find the closest ratty upholstered seat with puke stains on it. Actually, that's just a side effect of its real lease in life, which is finding the best way to get from point A to point B via various forms of public transit. Version 2.2, as it's playfully known, also adds business ratings, user-generated search content, and generally makes things snappier, so it seems like a pretty obvious upgrade -- particularly if you enjoy sitting next to a dude with a boombox who hasn't showered in three days.














Bad experiences in public transport, Chris? :P
the 80's called. they want their subway clichés back.
No support for NYC?
That really sucks!
does winmo graphics always look that shitty or does google dumb it down for winmo.. ?
That's a S60 screenshot. Anyway, why would a map need to look pretty?
it doesnt have to... but it looks crappier than windows 95..
i mean, google made some iphone apps and they look amazing
not that i care, i use iphone of course, but im just wondering why other people bother with this old tech.
anyway, not my problem, i was jw.
On my Treo 800w Google Maps is as functional and pretty as it needs to be...
So if it looks shiny, it's good tech?
The frightening thing is that you probably represents a lot of consumers with that mind-set.
I tried the treo's keyboard 3 days ago. Impossible to use. Ew

Re-read my post genius. That is not what I said. I said that is is as functional and pretty as it needs to be. Good design takes into account both form and function. And the ability to read.
Mr Maze: Did it even occur to you that my reply wasn't aimed at you at all?
@ Sarig
No, I didn't. I feel sheepish!!
How can it not support NYC, didn't we damn near pioneer the damn public transportation system???
only available in 50 cities, but i'm sure san fran is one of them though.
how in the world did Google come up with the decision to leave NYC out. as well documented and mapped as it is, NYC should have been the first city that Google added. just make no sense at all.
