Better Know Your Mobile: Using Shortcut Keys and BlackBerry Convenience Keys for Google Maps

Posted by Chris Nguyen and Tom Dimopoulos, Mobile Product Specialists, Google mobile team

Have we mentioned that we like doing things faster? In the spirit of speed and helping you to Better Know Your Mobile, the next couple of videos in our series will show you how to use all the great features, and even open Maps for mobile at the push of a button.

Last time we explained how to get My Location [0] and Traffic [7] with the help of some of your phone's shortcut keys. We've got a new video that shows all the most common numeric shortcut keys in one place. And you may have seen Steve and Mark's duel video setting "convenience keys" for speedy access to your favorite apps on BlackBerry, Blackjack, and Nokia N95 devices. Now we've added a shorter video about the convenience key settings on BlackBerry devices. Time to stop fishing around in menus and start impressing your friends with fast-as-lightning mapping!

As always, we'd love to get your ideas for more features you'd like to learn about, so give us a shout on the blog or video comments. To see all our videos in one place, check out the Google Mobile Help channel. You can always subscribe to it to get the latest videos on using Google Mobile.
