Today Google announced that Google Maps for mobile is now available for U.S. Windows Mobile devices, including Palm Treo 750, 700wx and 700w smartphones. Palm and Google originally announced availability of this service on Palm OS-based Treo products in October 2006 and now it is expanding across Palm's entire U.S.-based Treo smartphone line. This version of Google Maps for mobile enables users to view interactive maps and satellite imagery, find local businesses, get point-to-point driving directions, and view live traffic updates, all while on the go.

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

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 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. (It's like you're there, we swear.)

I began using it last night on my Treo600. You have to be connected to the browser to use it... it takes alittle time (with that I do mean alittle- not too slow not too fast). It's pretty accurate and it gives you the option to view it as a Map or as a Satellite Image... NICE!!! We'll see how it goes...

Been using it for the last week and it is very helpful. Just wish they could get a couple of more tools to make navigation alittle more easier
