Google's mobile phone map has been heard of for a long time and occasionally used it, but it has never been used carefully, because I am too familiar with maps and have no habit of using the mobile phone network, so they are all casual games. I just got a good mobile phone today, with a super high pixel and a Windows Mobile 6.1 system, so I used it to play with Google Maps, maybe Google's mobile phone maps have changed a lot, but it's not a false one. I feel a lot of it, so I'll write a trial Article from start to end. I just want to take a look, record some content.

I have already explained that the wm6 system and network connection do not have a SIM card, so I directly use the computer's network through ActiveSync connection, and wireless wi-fi cannot be connected.

The first step is to install the Google mobile phone map, log on to google.cn via the mobile phone, select the map, and then you can see the page for immediate installation. The current version is 2.4.0.9, which seems to be lower than the English version, don't worry, install it directly.

 

To install googlemaps. Cab immediately, download the installation package:

After saving the file, find the file and install it:

After the installation is completeProgramGoogle map:

By default, the system runs automatically after the installation is complete. The running interface is as follows:

Then, we were shocked. Google Maps positioned me directly, and almost at that position. The high speed was about 1000 meters. Of course, the precision can even reach 100 meters. I can't help but sigh that Google's my location is doing better and better, but I just don't understand the technology. If I have a SIM card, it's understandable that it's based on the cell location of the base station, but can I still find my location when I only use the company's lan? Do I find it through my IP address? I don't know, but this is indeed an amazing technology. From the positioning accuracy, it is basically an error of more than one hundred meters. It can be located in our park, next time, never let people use Google Maps to track me. Of course, the Google Latitude (Google) mentioned previously does not seem to me to be used in the future.

From the menu of Google Maps, the functions are still very powerful:

From the menu, Google has integrated the life search function, and can display real-time traffic information. Of course, you can even switch to the satellite map interface.

The yellow, green, and red lines shown in the figure are the real-time traffic information, while the dining icon is part of the Life map. However, I don't know why I only listed the food and beverage section. Unfortunately, the satellite map interface is a real coordinate information, which is about 500 away from the coincidence degree of road and route planning, that is why our country needs to add encryption modules to all navigation electronic maps for security reasons. Google cannot do this. After all, it is the national law, it's just that it's awkward to look at the route on the Google satellite map interface. The route is more than 500 metres away from the actual location, however, I heard that Google recently planned to add their satellite maps to adapt to the map of China.

For a map, the simplest function, except display, is search. Google Maps won't do well. Let's try the search function. Google's mobile phone map search is the same as Google map search on the Web. It does not specify a city of a category. Instead, it uses keywords to determine whether Google is powerful.

The search result is displayed:

 

Click "Kunlun Hotel" to view the specific information, address, and phone number of the Kunlun Hotel.

The details show that Google search is powerful. The mobile phone has the information of many websites, such as Yilong, treat 800, and traveling together. This is the information obtained by Google search, google search is integrated and easy to understand. This is a bit like the functions of some collection tools such as collection websites or locomotive collectors. It is displayed after being collected and stored in the database, but Google is one step ahead of the background. Of course, we cannot find out specific technologies. The review content is similar to the content captured, but the content of the websites that cooperate with the public comments network is displayed first. The first review is the review data on the public comments. Google integration is everywhere.

Check the map, right. No error. It's the location. The big-red marker is really bright enough, and the bubble prompts are quite warm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In general, the search function of Google map should be relatively powerful. At least what you can find on the Web Google map should be found on the mobile phone map.

Let's talk about the route calculation function of Google mobile map. Taking the Kunlun Hotel as an example, we can see three route Calculation Methods: driving, bus, and walking. These three methods are the most common, few of them can escape these three methods. Of course, sailing and aviation are not enough. This is an unconscious worry. Since Google's free mobile phone map has achieved such powerful functions, it includes three main contents: Vehicle Navigation, bus transfer, and pedestrian navigation, is there a market for portable car navigators? Even today, bus transfer and pedestrian navigation do not have many on-board navigation, and pedestrian navigation is under development in Nokia. Of course, the worries are redundant. at least from the perspective of the current stage, there is a specialization in the industry. Vehicle Navigation has its own strengths, and it is impossible to be eliminated in the last few years, the impact of mobile phone navigation on-board navigation is very large. In general, if you take a route on your mobile phone as a reference, it is a very good reference whether you are driving a car, walking or bus transfer. Unfortunately, if you go outside for GPRS traffic, according to China's mobile communication standards, the cost is still very considerable.

You can view the route to obtain a list of all the vehicle actions, similar to the common vehicle navigation software.

View the map to see the entire route, and use a special color block to identify the maneuver information.

 

Let's take a look at the bus transfer information. It is quite convenient to list several bus types in total.

Finally, let's take a look at the walking route.

Of course, Google's mobile phone map also reminds us that pedestrian navigation is still a trial version and should be used with caution, indicating that pedestrian navigation is still under study.

Whether driving, transferring, or walking, It's important or data support. Without good data, relying solely on powerful software cannot play a major role, this requires the creation of autonavi, a data vendor on Google Maps.

Of course, Google's mobile phone map also has some other functions, such as using GPS to directly locate the location and sending the location to a friend via text message. These are also slightly practical functions. In general, Google's mobile phone map itself is very powerful and practical. For example, if I don't like accessing the Internet via GPRS, I still don't like it very much, however, it is indeed a very powerful mobile phone map software for online maps. This is a mess.

Finally, I downloaded a trial version of 3.2, which is even more powerful. I just mentioned that I can also add it. In addition, life information is divided into two categories: Catering and movies. All of these contents are layer content.

Let's take a look at the content. You need to log on to your Google account first. After logging on, I already have friends on it. My friends updated it an hour ago. What about me, I was updated 43 days ago and showed that I was in Shanghai. Was I in Shanghai 43 days ago? Think about it, maybe it's in Shanghai.

 

Then, I finally updated it to Beijing.

 

In addition, I added a bus layer, and the subway line is displayed directly on the map. Click any site to view the specific information.

Click the specific bus information to view the specific bus information:

And the bus information near the bus station, but the "view transit service here" here should have not been translated yet. From the traffic information point of view, it should be more than this information near Dongdan, but it is always better than not. The function should be improved.

 

 

By the way, it is worth mentioning that the search has been improved in this version, and you can browse the map by category, which is very similar to the interest point category in the vehicle navigation device.

We can search for a result after "haidilao.

 

You can also view it in the form of a list.

 

 

 

In terms of layer customization, Google mobile map has reached a very powerful level.

In the end, this is the map display status after overlapping the landscape, bus, bus routes, and haidilao results and cafe results. It can only be said that it is very strong and very powerful.

I have no intention of speaking about it. In the end, please feel free to understand the differences between the two versions. In addition, by the way, I guess that Google's mobile phone map is located. Although the mobile phone does not have a SIM card, the mobile phone should still be able to receive signals from the base station, otherwise, how do you call an emergency number such as 110? Therefore, the positioning of Google Maps depends on the base station. I guess this is true, because I found that the positioning accuracy was 5000 meters when the signal was very poor, so I had such a guess, if you know something, you can correct it. After the trial, I was wondering what else can we do if Google's mobile phone map is so powerful?
