City Transit on Google Maps Mobile

Google added Public Transit Directions for most major cities to Google Maps Mobile. So if you take the Bus/Train/Blimp a lot (or are traveling to a city that eats subway cars for dinner) then you might consider upgrading your Google Maps. If you don’t have Google Maps yet then what are you waiting for? In addition to the ever familiar map it also supports an external Bluetooth GPS (which we have in the store…ahem). Google Maps also has a My Location feature which is handy if you only kind of need to know where you are. Sometimes it is accurate to within 1000 meters and at othertimes 5000 meters. You will need to App Unlock your Shadow to get the My Location feature working, which can be easily accomplished by installing the AllShadow.com Performance Enhancements.

Transit Directions are pretty neat. You simply add your start point, end point and choose a Depart By or Arrive By time and let Google do the rest!

To get Google Maps Mobile point any browser to google.com/gmm. Enjoy!

I am not sure if is only me but in the Direction menu I am not seeing the “lookup Contact” option which was available in the old version.

Thanks Mike! I know this one Menu > Options > Lookup Contact. What I was referring to was the option where you can go to Lookup Contacts right away on the the Direction menu which I think is missing in this new Google maps upgrade.

That Lookup Contact btw will appear only when you click the Start Point or End point box.
