Google and Self-Positioning

Posted: November 8th, 2005 | No Comments »

Google has to make clear that its Local for Mobile relies in fact on users self-positioning themselves:

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – In a Nov. 6 story about Google Inc.’s new mapping software for mobile phones, The Associated Press quoted a company executive saying that users won’t have to type in their location to get directions on phones equipped with Global Positioning System technology. The story should have made clear that the GPS function isn’t available yet.
