No, even if it uses the cellular network instead of GPS to find your location, you will not be charged, all it needs to know is which cell sites your phone is receiving and it will find your location with that data by transmitting it through your data connection, I tried it using Bluetooth PPP on my at&t Centro with no GPS.

You know... Google used to be cool, with a lot of those features and a really great search engine.

But now it's just creepy. They're showing pictures of your houses on GoogleMaps, and they know exactly where you are at any time they wish.

It's just creepy that they have all of this info with the push of a button whether they DO do something like that or not...

@k24601utube when you have wi-fi enabled, your device picks up beacons from wifi hotspots (like Café's) even when you're not connected. Each of these hotspots have been labelled with the address that they're used in. So, when you open your maps application your device is triangulating you based upon wifi hotspot locations.

I am using google maps from palm pre. The location shows up correctly when I am outside a building. But when i am inside office my location is so wrong. When it is always cell phone towers which get the location why does it vary for inside and outside building.
