This nifty demo runs through the basics of My Location, a new service from Google now officially in Beta. Announced yesterday, it allows you to use Google Maps without having to type in your present location. If you have GPS, it immediately identifies your position. No GPS on your cell phone? Google triangulates your location based on nearby cell towers. This is a cool tool given that fewer than twenty percent of mobile phones have GPS (including Appleā€™s present iPhone!)
