Google Maps For Palm Treo

Google Maps For Palm Treo Review (95%) - Digital-Lifestyles.info:

"20 Oct 2006 Google Maps For Palm Treo ReviewAlthough it was announced as part of the forthcoming Palm Treo 680 smartphone package, Google has already made its Google Maps application available for free download."
I got this email when I was out eating dinner Friday night... so, as I spend the crapload of money to have an unlimited wireeless connection on my Treo 600, I use the hell out of it and downloaded the app directly. Well, apparently Google has failed me (and a rare thing that is). The app directly downloaded from their site did NOT want to load on the Treo. Third time was NOT the charm. Anyhoo, I went back to my old standby of myTreo.net and downloaded it from there. No problemo. As for Google maps on the Treo, frankly anything has to be an improvement over MapQuest. It was useless on my screen. Google maps is a pretty faithful reproduction of the web version. Zooming in and out, satellite view... its all briliant. This is a must for Treos.
