WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

Google Maps has updated Google Maps BlackBerry to version 4.0. Google maps can use GPS depending on which BlackBerry smartphone you are using. Google Maps has consistently been one our top favorite BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Tour apps. Google has added search by voice, ways to find places faster, post from those places with Google Buzz, map syncing, and history.

You can now search by voice, press and hold the green "call" button, speak your search, and see your results quickly appear without typing a single letter. You can also search by voice for addresses like "802 West Elm Street" or search for a pizza place to try by speaking, "pizza restaurants.

The Google Buzz layer lets you see what's going on around you or to post to the layer yourself. Other features include

• Labs to try experimental features like the Scale Bar or Terrain layer (great for hiking enthusiasts!).
• See nearby businesses at an address or location by selecting a point from the map.
• Report a problem with the map data or a business listing.

The BlackBerry version now offers personalized search suggestions from your maps.google.com search history. If you previously searched for "Punch Pizza" at home, you can simply type "pun" into Maps on my phone to see "Punch Pizza" at the top of the suggested search terms. Make sure you've signed in to your Google Account (Menu > Sign In) and have Web History enabled for your account.

To get started, install the latest version of Google Maps 4.0 for BlackBerry by going to m.google.com/maps in your BlackBerry's Internet Browser. The update for BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrators and users, including support for BlackBerry OS 5.0 phones, is available here.
