It's been an ongoing battle between Google Maps & Nokia Maps. Some can't use Google Maps because it's all data. Those that have unlimited data plans like myself absolutely love Google Maps.
Google Maps for Symbian S60 has just updated to version 2.01 and adds the ability to create favorites which show up as a star on the map. Within these favorites you can add a buttload of imformation such as address, phone number, website, gps coordinates, etc. This is great for marking locations that you don't visit often and are hard to find. Or maybe if you enjoy hiking or walking and want to mark a tree or stream you find for future reference. You can also add your favorites to specific categories. The possibilities are endless.
Google Maps also automatically imports the favorites that you have stored in Nokia Maps, aka "My Places". This is a great move by Google to keep competition with Nokia Maps.
The application runs slightly faster than previous versions and is definetly a worthy upgrade. It seems to have a bug that maybe only is on the Nokia N82. When searching or on a screen besides the Maps screen I can't select anything. My center button isn't responding. Hopefully it's a bug only on my phone, but maybe others can confirm.
