This guy has me blocked, so maybe someone can forward this to him (or her) so he can stop spreading misinformation:
Using that does NOT mean it works. The ability to use GPS and THEN hit the "0" button which corresponds to your location and centers you on the map and follows you has been functional since long before the "My Location(beta)" feature came out, which was last December. Google really dropped the ball on this one though making it the same button, the "0" button, as what "My Location" did before. So A LOT of people who aren't aware that it did that before think that hitting "0" after the GPS locks makes "My Location(beta)" magically work when it doesn't. Hitting 0 makes the "My Location" work, but thats worked since long before the beta version which uses cell phone tower triangulation.
I'm gonna sticky this over at my forum, complete with photos, so this can be cleared up. It sucks to explain this over and over, but it has to be done because so many people don't really know the difference, and its not their fault, its Google's.
