No, but you have Google Maps for Storm available.
Maps, street view, Latitude, GPS localization and so on.

Re: Apps

I have been using Beyond411 for a couple of weeks now. It now comes in a Storm version and the GPS works well. If you have a need to find businesses around your current location with the ability to get directions, call the place your looking for and save the info to your contact list right from the search results this is for you. As a service tech I use this app all the time. I'm constantly looking for customer locations, supply houses or just a place to eat lunch.

 

Give it a try.

Flipside Record Art

Hi,

I worked with a user last night looking for a way to play his music via Album art.

I installed and ran Flipside. It's not rated for the Storm, but it works great!

You just swipe through the album covers and select the artist. You can also

download album art and biography's of the artist's. It costs $19.95 usd.

Comes with a fifteen day free trial.
It's definitely worth a look!

Thanks,

Re: Apps

By the way, seems as if the latest version of Google maps is either using GPS or at least better trianglation.  Now if they would only vocalize and follow turn by turn directions, I'd be all set.
