Google Maps on your phone
I really enjoyed watching a friend play with Google Maps/Local for mobile phones. But I also use Verizon, so I can’t use it right now. 
If I’m lost in a new town and I’ve just come up from a subway, I’ll be forced to fall back on my Timex watch with built-in digital compass. And maybe looking for moss on one side of a tree.
Check out this song that Matt Waddell wrote about the new service. On the bright side, maybe I’m not the wackiest Matt at Google anymore. 
- Holiday partay!
We went to a neighborhood holiday party tonight; wow, people were friendly! If you want to know the best place to get pizza, a search...

It’s awesome! Too bad I found out about it this morning before work... I ended up playing with it and ran late!

I hope he doesn’t try to get that one on the radio. I think my speakers will break.
Is that what you guys at google do all day?

Too bad all the best stuff is for US only
When or when will Google services come at least to EU?

Hopefully this will someday work with Verizon / EV-DO.
I have wireless broadband on my phone through EV-DO ... with something like this, i wouldn’t need GPS ... this is where MAPS needs to be fo’ shizzle!

Artem, I know that’s a request that we hear often, so I’m sure it’s on peoples’ radar.

Too bad my phone is not supported. It would be really cool if Matt created a video clip on that song

Any chance of going back to the old interface? I’ve been using the Google Local feature extensively since May and the recent improvements in the user interface ain’t. Haven’t tried the phone interface, but that may come up when I’m traveling.
I do like the satellite images very much.

Oh man...
Matt Waddell sings as good as Bruce Springsteen!
And I heard Matt´s song over and over again before going to bed yesterday and again this morning.
