Google Map Will Now Detect Your Location

Google Map for the mobile phone now has a new feature called My Location where Google Map will try to detect your location using your mobile tower location when you press "zero" on your phone. It works on phones with or without GPS, but Google says that the approximation can be as much as 1000m and it may sometimes not work (it means John will sometimes faint during the beta testing; watch video below for more info).

When you activate My Location, you will see a blue dot on the map showing the approximate location of you and all you need is type what you want and get the direction there from your current location. It does save you time when you need to find direction to somewhere and you don't know where you are now.
