Voice search comes to Google Maps for BlackBerry devices

July 03rd, 2008 | Category: Gadget Corner

whether you were concerned that you didn’t look crazy abundant screaming into your phone at business associates, family members, and the guy who does your landscaping, Google has added a feature to Maps for RIM devices that should confirm that yes: you’re a total maniac. Available right now for a handful of BlackBerry phones (8110, 8120, US version of the 8130) you can grab Google Maps with voice search, which enables you to

find what you’re looking for by pressing the left-side button and speaking the name of a business (or location, we assume). certain it sounds convenient, but think twice before searching for hookers or cocaine out loud — stock brokers, you have been warned.
