HINT: Google Maps for mobiles accepts dd.ddddd,dd.ddddd as a destination

Dear Listeners:

In case you haven't found out yet - yes, if you have the freeware Google
Maps in your mobile phone http://maps.google.com/gmm - you can enter the GPS
coordinates in the dd.ddddd format as a destination and Google will
calculate the route. The latest version is 1.06 BTW.

Downloading the application directly from a Symbian phone from
www.google.com/gmm ; a download link for Windows Mobile can be found on the
link mentioned above.

Poor man's GPS - in emergencies you can navigate without a GPS connected to
your phone. Mind your data plan though!
