Google has quietly released an updated version of their popular Google Maps Mobile app for Palm OS-based devices. While Google’s mobile map page does not indicate actual version numbers, a download and quick check of the Palm OS PRC file does indicate that a new version, 1.2.0.8 has been posted within the past few days.

On the Google Mobile Maps Treo-specific page, Google hints at speed enhancements in this latest version, along with real-time traffic reports and detailed directions. Google also touts “shorter startup time” and “stylus integration” as enhancements in this latest version of the app.
