Google Maps Mobile: "My Location" - Chabuduo!

Google’s new mobile client for Google Maps, Google Maps Mobile, is pretty sweet. It’s now native on the S60v3 devices (whcih my N95 has).  It also has a pretty neat feature called “My Location”.  Now, with the N95’s internal GPS turned on, it will show you pretty darnd acurately where you are on the map (or satellite image). If you don’t have GPS (or turn it off), then it will, using the cell towers, give you a chabuduo (translate: close-enough) location.  While at work, I did a quick test:

Photos missing due to migration, unfortunately…

The image on the left is a zoom-out, the image on the right is a zoom-in.  The dot in the center is where it thinks I am; but in reality, I’m at the 6-o’clock position at the bottom of the blue-tinted circle.  So, that’s probably somewhere around a half kilometer off. Oh well.  Close enough, eh?
