Some Google Maps Updates

Google Transit adds Reno and San Diego; I must have missed when they added the Japanese rail networks, domestic airlines and ferries.

Google Maps for mobile supports GPS on certain devices — for example, the BlackBerry 8800 and some Windows Mobile gadgets.

Not a new feature (MapQuest had it first), but Google Maps’s routing engine now has an “avoid highways” option.
