Google launched their V 2.0 of google maps mobile and its super cool. It can find your approximate location with out using GPS. It now uses tower location information for this purpose. Try it now.

Download the app on your mobile from www.google.com/gmm

Now this is not a new idea. There are similar applications available that continuously learns from the tower data. The google video about google mobile maps 2.0 says that your location sensing capabilities increases as you use it more often. Im wondering how they are doing this ?

I downloaded the application on an N93 and Its has improved a lot form the previous version. The navigation has become smoother. I also felt that the maps are loading much faster. So I recommend everyone to download this and give it a try.

This is your portable GPS receiver. You can use it with your laptop, PDA and even your mobile phone. Its compatible with most of the tracking softwares. The best part is that this device is wireless. It uses bluetooth technology.

The battery charge remains for 10Hrs and the receiver can process signals from upto 20 GPS satellites.

Their website claims that this works with google Maps. I need to get one of these test it with google maps on mobile, which I use quite often to navigate Cochin.
