The latest version of Google Maps no longer requires your device to have GPS anymore. It’s now possible to use the application to identify your position while you’re on the go using the cell tower information triangulation.
There is a new feature which is currently still in Beta called My Location. This lets you use the application with or without GPS, giving you an accuracy within 1000m of your location which can actually be quite a vague, unrecognisable if you were travelling somewhere you’ve never been before…
Localising via Google Maps is working wherever the application is enabled for mobile and you can install it on Symbian S60, BlackBerry and Java handsets.
For Windows Mobile users, the service should be inherently enabled and as mentioned Google Maps for Mobile 2.0 is still in beta and is being tested but you can download it from here.
Have a look at this video…
Google Maps for mobile with My Location (beta):
will it work on non-windows mobiles ?
it looks real good, though not sure why do u need it when gps instruments in vehicles are getting so common.
Very useful information, always good to learn more.
