Google has updated its Map service for mobile phones to help give directions to where you want to go by transit as well as walking or in a car.
The Version 2.2 update, which contains features not even available on the desktop version yet, will show information on bus, train and ferry routes, including departure times and even how much the trip will cost.
Where am I?
A person lost in the big city can use the �My Location� function to find themselves, which can be achieved through mobile mast triangulation in the absence of GPS on the unit.
This promises to have benefits in terms of safety, especially late at night in an unfamiliar part of town. Speaking of which, Google Maps will also let you know when the last train/bus/boat home is, so you know how late you can party.
This version allows users to get transit directions in all the same places as the standard Web version of Google Maps, including San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver and more than 40 other cities in North America.
