Google has announced version 2.0 of Google Maps for mobile, featuring a beta version of its new “My Location” service that serves as an alternative to GPS technology, which is not widely available on cell phones.
It uses cell-tower ID information to provide users with their approximate location, helping them determine where they are, what’s around them and how to get there.
