God this is funny. In the video, they first talk about your
phone's little GPS the tower reads. Google is reading the
phone's secret lat/long report to put you on Google maps.

Phones that don't have a GPS get "1/4 to 3 miles"
accuracy....Hell, that's the coverage of a whole cell sector!
Google's guessing.

No thanks. Maemo mapper puts you in the precise parking space
the little GPS puck sits in...anywhere in bluetooth range. It's
WAAS compensated, like the big boy GPS receivers, too!
