Vodaphone Makes Agreement With Google To Develop Maps

One of the great things about cell phones and converging devices is the ability to do so many things with one handheld device.

Today Vodaphone announced that they had made an agreement with Google to develop maps for use on cell phones.

“Vodafone sees Google Maps as a new milestone in the relationship that both companies are developing. It is a prime example of how Vodafone, through its location service and distribution scale, can complement Google’s products and unlock mass-market access to exciting services,” said Frank Rovekamp, global chief marketing officer of Vodafone.

This should make getting around town a little bit easier for mobile phone users. Vodaphone will provide easy-to-use maps, local listings and search and navigation capabilities in conjunction with Google Earth.
