Google Maps for Smartphone!

Visit http://google.com/gmm/ with your blackjack, and you can setup from there.

I was using the Java version before, and it was such a pain since you had to confirm every time the app made a connection, but now, that problem is gone!!!

It runs great on 3G here in San Diego and shows live traffic too... I even see an option for GPS tracking.

Great job Google!

Cool program. Runs very well. I tried it with a GPS and have not gotten that part of the program to work.

Would that not require a GPS device attached to the BJ??

I am also having trouble getting Googlemaps to recognize my Bluetooth GPS. This bluetooth device works 100% fine with Mapopolis and Windows Live Search. I wanted to try WM version of GoogleMaps, but it just says it can't find the GPS every time I try to enable that feature. Going to the help page on googlemaps gives me stupid directions that don't apply to this phone, saying that somewhere in the general phone settings there should be something related to GPS, which there is not. There would only be so if the phone had a GPS built in.

Supposedly Bluetooth GPS is supported, but for the live of me I can't figure out how to enable that. Any help will be appreciated.

I guess for now, Google only officially supports Helio devices:
