Google can locate you even without GPS

Google maps for mobile now feature 'My Location' Technology ,which lets mobile phones users to know where they are on a map , even if they don't have a GPS - enabled phone .The version 2.0 of Goohle maps for mobile uses information broadcast from cell towers to help users determine where they are ,whats around them and how to get there.
The My Location technology is available on most smartphones,including all colour BlackBerry devices ,all Symbian series 60 3rd edition devices,most windows mobile devices,newer Sony Ericsson devices and some Motorola devices.It delivers a location estimate faster than GPS,provides coverage inside buildings(where GPS signals can be unreliable) and doesn't drain phone batteries as quickly as GPS
