Google's news today is that their My Maps for Mobile technology will pinpoint your location based on cell tower signals, even on phones without GPS capability.
That's certainly useful, and I was wondering whether this really would be an alternative to GPS. Om Malik is typically on the ball when it comes to this story, and he's already given it the provisional thumbs-up. One point of confusion for me, though, is that he's saying it works best on newer generation phones like the Blackberry 8800. But the Blackberry 8800 already has GPS. What'll be interesting is if the tech works on my Blackberry 8700r, which does not have GPS. Stay tuned (literally).Labels: blackberry 8700, maps, mobile search
