Google optimises its mobile maps application for Symbian.
Which means the Google Maps service is more feature-rich and looking a bit sexier on Symbian-based smartphones than in its current Java incarnation.The client is available for download for S60 3rd Edition phones at www.google.com/gmm.
Shannon Maher, director of engineering at Google, said: "At Google our goal is to develop our products to bring the best possible experience to the user. With this in mind, we created an optimised version of Google Maps for mobile that takes advantage of the performance and deep integration we can achieve using native Symbian C++ to deliver an excellent experience for the large, important and growing market of Symbian users."
