Google Maps with My Location (beta)

Google has rolled out a new feature for its mobile Google Maps that allows you to track your location, even if your phone does not have a GPS. The service uses cell towers to pinpoint your location on the map, and according to Google it has an accuracy of approximately 200 to 1000 meters.

To get your location you need to press “0″ and look for a blue dot on the map.

If you have a GPS-enabled device, this blue dot corresponds to your GPS location. At times, or if you do not have a GPS-enabled phone, you might see the blue dot surrounded by a light blue circle to indicate uncertainty about your location.

My Location feature is available for most web-enabled mobile phones, including Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia/Symbian devices.

Go to www.google.com/gmm from a mobile browser to check out the new feature.
