BlackBerry Google Maps Updated to Version 3.2.1

Google Maps for BlackBerry

If you are like me you use Google Maps on your BlackBerry. Google announced today that Google Maps has been updated to version 3.2.1 and they did not provide a changelog.

I did not get much time to explore the updated version so I can't provide you with much information as to what is included in the updated version. There were a few bugs that surely they fixed and when Google updates software they always do it right so I'm sure they tweaked some things and added some new functionality.

If you want to get a copy or upgraded the version you are currently on head over to Google.com/maps from your device. If you don't use Google Maps it is a must have for any BlackBerry user.
