Many cell phones lack GPS, but can access Google Maps or similar services. To help out, Google will introduce a new feature that will attempt to locate a user by cell tower triangulation.
This would allow users to get a semi-accurate address for their current location. This would help greatly because sometimes you just don't know where you are.
The feature is currently in a test mode and users can type a "0" into the search box to try and locate themselves.
This does not currently work on the iPhone.
