Search Data Reveals Opportunities and Overlaps for Chase and WaMu<\/a>\u00a0– Heather Hopkins, Hitwise<\/p>\n

This isn’t just an opportunity for Chase. Imagine the work for some enterprising Local SEM? WaMu has\u00a0somewhere on the order of 950 branches<\/a> listed in Google Maps that minimally need a name change. Imagine getting all of the ancillary iyp’s and errant internet info squared away<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google on Android: Maps<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0David Conway, Product Manager, Android Team,\u00a0googlemobile.blogspot.com<\/p>\n

When we designed\u00a0<\/em>Google Maps<\/em><\/a>\u00a0for the T-Mobile G1, we set out to create a great mapping application that took full advantage of the G1’s hardware, like the touch screen, accelerometer, and GPS, as well as the deep system integration made possible by the\u00a0<\/em>Android<\/em><\/a>\u00a0platform.<\/em><\/p>\n

Salient points from his post:<\/p>\n

\u2022as I wander the city, I can search for nearby businesses (like restaurants), and use Android’s integrated Map features to save search results to my contacts.
\n\u2022Maps is also integrated with email, IM, and the web on Android. For instance, street addresses that appear as plain text in these apps become touchable zones that you can click on to take you straight to Maps.
\n\u2022most of the resources, flexibility, and functionality in Google Maps are available to any application written for Android.<\/em><\/p>\n

Google Maps for mobile Updates!<\/a> – Maps Guide Tom, Google Maps for Mobile<\/p>\n

Map Data disparities with the desktop version of Google Maps\u00a0– In terms of updates to map data, imagery and road data is first\u00a0deployed to the desktop version, and is then disseminated to other\u00a0Google Products that use map imagery. This includes Google Maps for\u00a0mobile. In terms of timing, it can vary, but generally it may be\u00a0several weeks before new imagery you see at maps.google.com gets\u00a0updated to your mobile phone.<\/em><\/p>\n
