Google Mobile now with traffic reports

Google Maps on your mobile phone just got even better with the addition of real-time traffic updates. If you live in one of some 30 major US metropolitan areas (including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago among others), the new service will let you see where the congestion is and how much longer your commute will be. The latest version will also let you save favourite places and routes.

Google Maps is a service that combines directions, maps and satellite imagery to help you find and get to the places you are looking for.

Note: A Java-enabled (J2ME) mobile device with data plan is required. To download Google Maps, visit http://www.google.com/gmm using your mobile phone’s web browser.
