New and Improved: Google Maps for Moble

Twitter allows me to find out things as they are happening in real time like a conversation you would have with a co-worker or friend except it is happening all around the world with millions of people, some you know most you don’t.  Some of the useful things that pass through my twitter stream are product announcements like we have had over the past few weeks. Its how I first found out about Google’s new browser Chrome and how I found out yesterday that Google released a new version of its mapping software for mobile phones and I have to say it is amazingly better than the previous version. Now there is transit and walking directions as well as street view and the ability to find your location even if you don’t have GPS. The look and feel has been updated somewhat as well to be more 2.0 sexy.  Thanks Mashable!
