Does the new "my location" work for anyone?

The instructions above for WLS also work for google. The full version of Navizon uses wifi towers to help triangulate. If your phone doesn't have wifi capability I suspect it is a waste of money. I also suspect that if towers are mapped in your area but by a phone with different reception characteristics than our Q that location will work differently and may not be as accurate. I think the googlemaps My Location feature tries to do this same method of location as Navizon.

Cool. I will take a detour on my way home from work and make a pass down baymeadows. Are you east or west of phillips? It is amazing how many towers are out there. You look around and you don't really notice them. You drive around with this software and they pop up all over the place where you never even knew they existed. And from what I have seen so far, you can't go far off the mapped area before it gets lost. The towers are much closer together then you would think.
