Vodafone to put Google Maps on handsets

Your IT - Mobility

Vodafone users will be able to pinpoint their location in Google Maps and search for local services under a deal between the mobile and internet search giants.

The mobile version of Google Maps, running on Vodafone handsets in the form of a Java application, will incorporate easy-to-use maps and local listings, as well as local search and navigation capabilities.

Customers in "selected markets" will be able to enjoy unlimited use of Google Maps for mobile, subject to Vodafone data tariffs. Forming part of Vodafone’s multimedia portal Vodafone live!, search technology from Google will enable customers to access both on-portal and off-portal sites in the wider mobile internet.

The announcement comes after recent deals to make MySpace and YouTube content available on Vodafone handsets.
