Google Maps With My Location, a service for mobile users that doesn't rely on GPS

Google launched a location service for mobile users on that doesn't rely on GPS. Google Maps with My Location(beta), locates users who don't have GPS-enabled phones.

Google locates users based on their location from neares base station. The result isn't as accurate as GPS (Global Positioning System) but works for people who lack the positioning technology in their phones.

If you have GPS then google can find ur position accurately but if you are not using GPS then the result may not be accurate but it will be within about 1000 meters.

This service is available on web-enabled mobile phones, including Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia/Symbian devices.
