09 Jul 09 Find your location in Google Maps with 1 button

Now, this isn’t anything more than proof the feature actually works but take it as you will — Google has recently announced that they have successfully implemented a feature that, with the click of a button, will allow users to semi-accurately pinpoint their location reportedly using the W3C Geolocation API.

Don’t confuse this with GPS as it’s no where near as accurate but perhaps once the technology progresses it will be able to drop a pin on our location such as the iPhone or similar devices.

If you are using Firefox or Google Chrome, head to www.maps.google.com and check it out.
