Google Maps on the Go

Call me a bit floored. I am quite busy here at work and havent had as much time to surf for news and Scripture as I usually do. So that's where I am floored with this post from Treo Central. There was a user who really wanted to use Google Maps on his Treo, but due to the Blazer browser, and some coding pieces by Google, this was impossible. A person named Ivan Mitrovic created a Java application that can be downloaded to one's Treo that would give Google Map functionality. I do not have a Treo and am therefore not (yet) able to try it out, but for those of you who travel and Google Maps is a mapping service that you like, now you are not limited by your Treo in getting some of those very well done maps. Click here to read Ivan's blog and download KMaps and you might find yourself not getting lost the next time you take the youth group to that campsite :)
