One of the coolest applications for you phone is Google Maps, which works with and without a GPS based on cell tower approximation. Not only can you get traffic directions, but you can also get transit directions, phone numbers and addresses for local businesses. Google has just updated Google Maps for mobile and it now includes Street View imagery at each turn when you are driving or walking.
Street View is currently available for BlackBerry and some Java-enabled phones. Watch the video to see a demo of it in action.
Google also increased their coverage of the US that has Street View. From the Google Blog:
Today marks our biggest launch of Street View imagery to date: we're doubling our coverage in the United States. Several states — Maine, West Virginia, North Dakota, and South Dakota — will be getting the Street View treatment for the first time. We've also added imagery for Memphis, Charleston (SC), and Birmingham, and we've filled in lots of gaps across the country.
