New Google Maps feature could simulate GPS

A new version of Google Maps introduced this week includes a beta feature dubbed My Location that was designed to simulate the GPS experience on mobile phones and handheld devices that do not include GPS hardware.

Essentially, the My Location feature takes information broadcast from mobile towers near non-GPS equipped mobile phones to approximate the device’s current location on the map down to about 10 city blocks.

    nekem mondjuk nem működik, meg a többieknek sem, akik tesztelték tőlünk. Hálózatfüggő ez?
