Yeah, I as referring to the version on the iPhone.

GMM is a good app, but since you have a WinMo phone, you should really try
Windows Live Search (wls.live.com)

It has a speech recognition function allowing you to say, for example,
"Hyatt Hotel" to find the closest Hyatt- very convenient if you're forced
to navigate while driving.

The gas prices and movie listings functions come in handy as well.

Compared to GoogleMaps for the iPhone, the only thing this has going for
it would be VR. Clunky display, small map...
But if you are stuck with MS, this is probably a good option.

Agreed, to a point- in a strange area, however, it's at least handy to
establish a baseline. If I know the lowest price in the area is $2.66 I
can decide whether the $2.69 station is worth the convenience.
