Google Doesn’t Know Where You Are (But It Has a Good Guess)

. . .Google today is adding a feature for some smartphones that don’t have built in GPS but can read the unique identifying number of the cell tower they are connected to. By using this information, Google can display a map of the general area they are in. . .

I wonder if it will work on the iPhone version of Google Maps. If not, no loss. It only saves you the effort of typing inyour present location and if you bookmark your most used locations you don't even have to do that.

Cool. My phone doesn't support it, though I can run Google Maps for Mobile.
