Google Maps for Symbian Devices

After launching versions for Windows Mobile and Palm OS devices, Google releases Google Maps for Symbian phones. "Google Maps is now available for Symbian Series 60 3rd edition devices. Compared to the existing J2ME version that you may be using today, this version of the app offers GPS support on Nokia 95 and a significantly faster startup time," informs us Google's mobile guide.

"The coolest feature that I've found in the ten minutes I've been playing with it is the ability to save a search result directly to the Contacts application! It automatically fills in all the address fields correctly," found Ricky Cadden (warning: the link sends you to a page that plays a video on load).

The application can be downloaded by visiting google.com/gmm from your mobile device.

    The UI doesn't look remotely polished as the iPhone's (Google) Maps application, but the GPS support is a nice touch.

    In fact, the UI looks horrible. Perhaps I'm spoiled :)

    No compatibility list, just server-side heuristics (which may fail as sh*t) as usual, Google style :-((((

    Yes, the application connects to the Internet and gets the data from Google's servers.

    "Google Maps for mobile is free to download and use. However, your mobile service provider may charge for data usage, which includes download and use of Google Maps. We recommend the use of unlimited data plans which most mobile providers offer for a flat monthly fee." (Google Help)

    Splendid !

    Works with the built in gps on the e66 without any problems. Seems to import the NokiaMaps saved points, so probably Nokias stuff is actually Googles SW, but the satphotos are much better in this app.
