Google Maps for Symbian S60 (V3 and V5) has received an update to version 3.3.

The new update now allows you to sync your Starred Items (aka ‘favourites’ or ‘landmarks’) between your Mobile Google Maps Client, and your PC Client.

Here’s a bit of the blog post from the Google Mobile Blog :

Google Maps for mobile has long allowed you to add stars on a map to mark your favorite places. You may have noticed a few months ago that Google Maps for desktop browsers introduced the ability to star places as well. Unfortunately, there was no way to keep these starred places in sync with Google Maps on your phone. With today’s release of Google Maps for mobile 3.3 on Windows Mobile and Symbian phones, you’ll now be able to keep the starred places on your phone and on your computer completely synchronized. It’s like magic, but magic that you can use.
For users upgrading from an older version of Google Maps for mobile, you’ll be asked, when you log in, whether you’d like to synchronize your existing starred items with your Google Account. This means you can preserve all the work you’ve put into customizing your map on your mobile, and have it show up, conveniently, in Google Maps in your desktop browser.
To enjoy the benefits of all this mobile synchronization goodness, download Google Maps for mobile for your Symbian or Windows Mobile phone by visiting m.google.com/maps in your mobile browser. And don’t worry, we’re busy building this same functionality into our other mobile versions of Google Maps — so sit tight.

To get the update, Navigate over to m.Google.com/Maps on your Symbian S60 device and download the update.

This is going to come in REALLY useful for me personally, to find places here in Delhi.
