iPhone GPS (while we wait)
Sun, Jan 20, 2008
Since we’re all stuck waiting for a 1.1.3/1.1.4 jailbreak, I’ve yet to actually see how Google Maps’ faux GPS works in person. LocateMe, a neat cell tower triangulation app showed up in official Installer.app repositories last night so I got to take it for a spin. It works really, really well. It pinpointed me to within 200m of my actual location. Here’s some screenshots:

Sounds great, Jason. Alas it failed out here in Aglish. I think there is just one tower in range anyway so I’ll give it a try from work tomorrow.
