Comments on: Google Maps for Mobile adds 'My Location' feature

New Google Maps for Mobile feature automatically pinpoints the location of a mobile phone based on its position to cell towers.

Google's Maps

Big deal. What if I walk down a street and see a sign for a free pizza at Little Caesars. Can I click on the logo to find the nearest location relative to my position on a map? That is what I want. Will little Caesar?s offer a $1 off when the logo is clicked and I show them the redemption coupon on my mobile when I pay? What if I say the keyword Pizza in my mobile browser will it take me to all of the locations relative to my position on a map? Right now, pretty useless if you ask me.

I think Google's developers need to think a little better.

I don't have one of the latest SE phones :(

Apparently my w810i is not one of the latest Sony Ericsson phones that is supported by GMM.

I'm using an application for the blackberry that uses another cell tower database (opencellid)
it's called WhereRYu and it helps blackberry users let friends and family know where they are
