Google Maps for Mobile Updates Servers for Easier Local Business Search
If you’ve ever typed in the name of a business into Google Maps for Mobile, you may have been a bit frustrated. Google would return results of street names that contained the search term you typed in instead of finding the business itself.
That all changes today. With a new update to their servers, Google Maps for Mobile is smarter. Type in Starbucks and find a local Starbucks store.
If you’re using a smartphone such as a BlackBerry, Nokia S60, T-Mobile G1, or iPhone, you do NOT need to download anything new to see the change.
If you don’t have Google Maps for Mobile downloaded on your phone but would like it, click here. Warning: it won’t be available for all devices.
