Google Maps – Almost As Good As GPS

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Google Maps is the one application on my 8525 that I couldn’t live without, but, doing so would certainly be a bummer.

See your location on the map, with or without GPS. Save time and tedious keystrokes finding where you are, what’s around you, and how to get there…

The My Location feature takes information broadcast from mobile towers near you to approximate your current location on the map – it’s not GPS, but it comes pretty close (approximately 1000m close, on average).

Turn on your 8525’s Wifi or use access AT&T’s data network if there aren’t any free hotspots around and let Google Maps show you how to get to where you need to go next.
