Default Google Maps Voice Search works on Pearl w/4.5.0.97

Please Login to Remove!

Previously, Voice Search in Google Maps 2.3.1 wouldn't work on my VZW Pearl w/earlier versions of 4.5 OS.

Now, with 4.5.0.97 (beta release) it does work. I didn't remember to check w/4.5.0.89 (most recent 8130 OS formally released).

Just wanted to note this - whatever issue GMaps had w/Voice Search in earlier OS releases appears to be going, going, gone.

I know you're trying to make us feel better, but the idea that you're using Google Maps while driving is simply scary...I hope you're only referring to it when stopped.

Did you know that if you have a BT GPS puck you can use VZNav with the puck w/out any charges from Verizon? A better way to go...as Homer would say "Mmmmm...voice prompts." ;)
