It's not always practical to carry a map around with you to help you get to where your going. If you find yourself getting lost on a regular basis, or if you're a keen traveller then this Smartphone download is the one for you. Besides offering digital urban road maps and satellite views, Google Maps for Windows Mobile furnishes you with a bevy of other cool features.

Built on the popular online app, this program includes an address search with location determination and a built-in route planner. The zoom function is arguably easier to handle than on a PC though clever use of the joystick or soft keys. If you have GPS functionality on your phone, the Google Maps is even better because it can show you your current position on the screen.

The search is as straightforward as ever and also allows you to look for points of interest such as cinemas, shops or restaurants, although the frequency of these will vary depending on where in the World you're looking at. You can even program your own favourites, so that you never need to forget where that nice bar you visited was.

Provided you have flat rate Internet access on your phone to cover the large amount of data it downloads, Google Maps represents the perfect way to ensure you always know where you're going.
