Maximizing Google Maps For Mobile

If you happen to be like me when it comes to directions, then your right hand does not know where your left hand is. It's pretty bad, but at least I know which hand is which. Some people call one hand "right" and then refer to the next one as the "other right", if you know what I'm saying. To help you with your direction dilemmas, Google wants to let you literally find your place in the world.

Now, you may or may not be aware of Google Maps for Mobile. If you aren't, then congratulations, you now have a new service to play around with using your cellphone. If you've been using it, Google has noticed that you may not be maximizing its full potential. It's launching a video series called Better Know Your Mobile to show us some tips and tricks on how to get the most out of its services.

If you've ever wondered how to get the most out of Maps for mobile, then this post is for you. These first two videos highlight the My Location and Traffic view features of Maps for mobile. Stuck in terra incognita? Check out the My Location video to learn how you can quickly find yourself on the map. Once you know your approximate location, you can also figure out whether there's traffic nearby using the Traffic feature. We'll even show you exactly what the different traffic colors actually mean.

Definitely cool stuff. We'll keep tabs on this service to keep you updated on the latest features.
