Google Maps 3.2 for Mobile is now released for BlackBerry. The application brings with it many features including Layers to the BlackBerry. Layers and other features were made available to Windows Mobile and S60 earlier.

Layers make it easy to view various types of information on your map and are especially helpful in situations when you’re traveling somewhere new. For example, you can turn on the Wikipedia layer to read entries about nearby places, then use the transit lines layer to help map out a route. Or you can use the My Maps feature of Google Maps to create a collection of places you’re planning to visit on your trip and then use Google Maps for mobile to access it from the road. You can also turn on the Google Latitude layer to see your friends’ locations.

In order to get the latest version of Google Maps for your phone, simply visit m.google.com/maps from your phone’s browser.

Below is a video demonstration of the new Layers feature of Google Maps for mobile. View layers of information such as Wikipedia, My Maps, and traffic.

By the way, if you haven’t already, you can download the Google Mobile App for your BlackBerry as well. Read about it in my post titled [BlackBerry] Download Google Mobile App for your BlackBerry phone
