Google launches My Location
November 29, 2007 | 1 comment | Tweet This
Google have today released the details of a new product on their mobile blog called My Location. My Location uses beta technology (as with a lot of Google’s products) that uses cell tower identification to provide you with approximate location information, so it will work on phones without GPS. Start Google Maps for mobile, press [0], and the map will indicate your approximate location by centering on a blue circle. This is a great piece of technology when visiting other cities when the lure of sushi is just too much to take.
