You heard it first here.
GoogleMaps is going to your mobile phone near you.

I have no idea how this is going to happen, I suppose it’s something to do with Windows Mobile and the 3G capabilities.

This is the news release ::

LONDON - Vodafone Group, the world’s largest mobile phone network operator, said it agreed with Google to develop maps for mobile telephones.

The company said it will, in conjunction with Google Maps, provide easy-to-use maps and local listings, as well as local search and navigation capabilities.

‘Vodafone sees Google Maps as a new milestone in the relationship that both companies are developing. It is a prime example of how Vodafone, through its location service and distribution scale, can complement Google’s products and unlock mass-market access to exciting services,’ said Mr Frank Rovekamp, global chief marketing officer of Vodafone.
