Google Mobile Adds Traffic Info on Google Maps Mobile & More Sources For Traffic Maps and Cams, Listen to Your Route
Google has added traffic info on their Google Maps Mobile (GMM) product for 30 U.S. cities. No international traffic is available. Also, Google Maps Mobile is only available for certain makes and models of mobile phones. Here's a list. Google Maps Mobile still does NOT work with Nextel or BREW-enabled phones from Verizon, Alltel, U.S. Cellular, etc. GMM also doesn't work from any Palm devices like a Treo. If your phone and wireless provider qualifies, today's news also has several new personalization options available.
