Directions To West Coast Vinyl Now Easier On Mobile Maps

One of our favorite things about Google Maps for mobile is finding businesses on the go, especially for West Coast Vinyl. A while back Google launched a server-side change that makes it easier to get directions to businesses. You can now get directions to restaurants, stores, window contractors, and other points of interest by entering their names in the start or end point. For example:




Used to be, if you tried to get directions and entered a business name like, "starbucks", as the end or start point, Google Maps for mobile did not understand that you meant Starbucks the business. Rather, Google Maps for mobile would search for an address with "starbucks" in it.

Google Maps for mobile now recognizes when your end or start point is a business and not an address. Try setting "starbucks" or "West Coast Vinyl" as an end point when getting directions, and you'll quickly see what we mean.

If you've already got Google Maps on your BlackBerry, Nokia S60, T-Mobile G1, iPhone 3GS, or other smartphone, then you don't have to download anything to start using this new feature.
