Default Google Maps 1.61 - 08-29-2007, 05:49 PM

I just upgraded to version 1.6.1 from 1.6.0. However, I don't notice any difference.

By the way, I like this upgrade which it did not delete all my existing stored location.

I did not know that. I thought it was new.

Did you notice any difference between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1?

No. There were some issues with 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 and bluetooth GPS on the Curve but it's been worked out now.

For the first time, with 1.61 I am sometimes given business search results in cities nowhere at all near to where I am unless I first press O for it to find my location. It doesn't remember my last location if the program gets closed.

I do notice issues when using my BT GPS unit with my pearl. The blue dot that shows your current location sometimes disappears for a minute or so. I remember the older versions, maybe 1.54 did not have this issue. Of course I still have the occasional crashes.

The layout seems a bit more polished.
