hc – that would be a cool feature. If you consider all of the potential uses for the cell tower triangulation technology, there are a lot of niche products that the creative programmer could offer the cellphone community.

Speaking of camera, maybe they’ll also put in a geotag feature for adding latitude and longitude to photos taken with the phone. Then others could drop the photos in google maps on their desktop and see where you’ve been.

Even though it can work without GPS, it required at least A-GPS (Assisted GPS) in your phone which uses cell tower triangulation instead of satellite triangulation. If your phone does not have any (GPS or A-GPS), the above cannot work.

I’ve been using Google Maps on my Windows Mobile smartphone for about a month now, and it’s great! My phone goes have GPS, so the accuracy is great and it’s bailed me out a few times when trying to find places. The drawback is that the phone screen is tiny and the user interface uses various buttons on your phone, so it is difficult to use while driving. For heavy use, I’d still recommend a traditional GPS for your car, but for occasional use this is the perfect solution.
