Once installed, just fire up Google Maps on your supported phone and hit "0" to view your location (you're the blue dot). If your phone already has GPS built in, the new Google Maps Mobile will use it to pinpoint your position. If you don't have a GPS-enabled phone, you may see an approximate location indicated by a blue dot with a lighter blue circle around it so you know there's a little uncertainty about exact location.

While this isn't real-time turn-by-turn directions, it's still better than nothing - and should make putting Google Maps Mobile to use on-the-go a lot quicker and easier. Google Maps Mobile with My Location is freeware and works on most Web-enabled mobile phones, including Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Nokia/Symbian devices, according to Google.
