Google Maps for mobile with My Location (beta)

Wed, Mar 11, 2009

Video

The new “My Location” (beta) feature on Google Maps for mobile helps you know where you are on the map, even if your phone doesn’t have GPS. Just press [0] to move the map to your approximate location. Save time and tedious keystrokes finding where you are, what’s around you, and how to get there.

    GPRS and GPS are not the same thing.

    to clarify, Google Maps requires some kind of data connection to download map data. this is generally a GPRS, EDGE or 3G connection (except in cases where your phone has the ability to connect to WiFi hotspots, in which case you can use WiFi). Without a data connection, Google Maps simply would not work. Period.

    ok, now GPS is separate thing and is to do with satellite positioning. it’s not required by Google Maps, but it helps.

    Blocked? VZNavigator has worked for a while. Do you mean blocked in general or blocked specifically for this program?

    What else was involved in the lawsuit?

  7. rafaelsb83 Says:

    It does but not at first.
    If you want GPS on google maps you have to buy it.

    Verizon has this GPS locator blocked on their phones mostly. They don’t want people using this as their navigating device because they are stingy bastards. HOWEVER. they lost a lawsuit and they caved in. Beginning First Quarter 2009 verizon phones will unlock the gps and this should work. until then, wait i guess. STUPID VERIZON!
