Got a BlackBerry for your business? Getting around is about to get a lot easier.

Google has a new version of its Google Maps BlackBerry app, . The update adds a host of features, including a mobile sharing option that's sure to come in handy for enterprise users.


 

With Google Maps 4.2, results-browsing becomes photo-friendly. The app now offers what Google calls a "simplified search results page." This gives you images along with one-touch access to directions, phone dialing, and other users' ratings for the location you're trying to find.


Perhaps more noteworthy, though, is the link you'll now see entitled "Share This Place." After finding a destination, you can simply tap that link to fire off a packet of info -- the building's address, phone number, even a photo of its exterior -- to your friends or colleagues. You can choose to use either e-mail or text messaging.

Just think: Larry from accounting will never have an excuse for getting lost on his way to lunch again.

The new Google Maps for BlackBerry packs some extra punch for bikers, too (bicyclists, that is -- sorry, Harley). , the app now offers customized directions for bicycling routes all across America, whether you're out on the roads or deep in the trails.
