Google Maps for mobile, now with My Location (beta)

GPS-enabled mobile phones continue to rise in popularity - but most of us do not have that capability. Now, with the latest version of Google Maps for mobile, you can use the new My Location (beta) technology that uses normal cell phone towers to provide you with approximate location information. It's not GPS, but it comes pretty close.

MISCELLANY

+ Your online privacy +

At the end of August, we wrote here about a YouTube video we made that explains exactly how we handle personal computer information for every individual search query. Since then, we've produced some 15 other short videos -- tips you can use to manage your own information for Google products including Picasa for photos, Street View in Google Maps, Blogger, your Google Web History, and more. There's also an excellent year-end review on privacy protections across the Internet given by Peter Fleischer, our global privacy counsel. All of these are available on a new Google Privacy Channel on YouTube. We strongly believe that you will want to understand the issues surrounding privacy of information, and make your own choices based on that understanding. We hope you find these videos useful, and we'll continue to add new tips on video on this channel, so you may want to bookmark the page, or subscribe to its feed.
