And just like that, Google Mobile Maps gives you real-time traffic information.

For those who: a) don’t have a built-in decent web browser on their phone to access the other websites that offer real-time traffic updates, b) don’t want to pony up the cash for a GPS with traffic information, or c) simply love Google too much to opt for anything else, Google has released an update to their Google Mobile Maps application. On top of being much faster than the previous release, this latest version also offers real-time traffic updates and allows you to mark “favorite” locations. Upgrade away!

BlackBerry users (at least those with the 8700g) take note: if you already have a previous version of Google Maps installed, you should manually delete it. Otherwise you will be left with both versions on your handheld with no way to delete the previous version short of re-initializing your handheld — trust me, I learned the hard way…
