This week, Google released a new version of Maps including a new beta feature — My Location. My Location uses the same technology as Navizon’s GPS free positioning system. Using cell phone towers to locate your position provides your general location within 1000m. The application pinpoints your location, and puts a blue transparent circle around the location to show that you could be anywhere within that circle.

Too bad this feature is not available on the iPhone yet, but it could be coming in the Maps application when further firmware updates are released. For now, you can use the alternative Navizon GPS for a few days until your trial runs out.
