If you own a Smartphone, Mobile Map applications are a must have. There are many mobile maps application available for cellphones. There are also some paid applications also which have some premum features like voice guidance.
I use Google Maps Mobile. Google maps currently have maps available for 6 countries, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain. Its sattelite view function is great if you want to Get a bird’s eye view of your desired location. Although India’s maps are not available in the Google Maps but its real fun to watch your favourite locations with satellite view, just like you do on PC with Google Earth.
You can download Google Maps Mobile from http://www.google.com/gmm
Another cool Mobile Maps Applications is Mobile GMaps. It displays Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Windows Live Local (MSN Virtual Earth) and Ask.com Maps and satellite imagery on Java J2ME-enabled mobile phones, PDAs and other devices.
MGMaps can connect to a GPS receiver over bluetooth or use internal GPS features on some phones in order to automatically display the map for your current position.

This is an Indian company’s initiative at creating an internet map site that will come up and do as much as Google and Mapquest has done. We’re also adding an Indian twist to the things we do. Check out this concept called ‘eLocation’ MapmyIndia has introduced.
eLocation allows you to get maps and directions to a peron’s place, and the cool thing is that it gives you the directions in the words of that person (take a left after you see a panwallah, go inside that gate…u know, how people explani directions in India).
Search for this sample elocation and you’ll see what I mean. The id is: mapmyindia
