Google Maps Now Finds "My Location" With WiFi

Just to let all of you know Google pointed out that they have update their My Location to take advantage of WiFi. It will now use their beta technology of WiFi access point locations to assist in finding your location. According to Google this will work hand in hand with devices that are already using GPS or cell tower triangulation to narrow down your location.

I am not sure how much of a difference this will make on a device with strong cell signal and GPS but you never know. I don't think you need to upgrade to take advantage of this but I could not confirm that. Hell this upgrade may not even be relevant to BlackBerrys but they do use a Berry in their funny demonstration video

If you don't already have Google Maps I highly recommend picking it up at www.google.com/gmm
