Default GPS Discovered In Google Local For Mobile

Cristian Streng has been digging around in his Google Local For Mobile and
found the following file "GpsEnabled: false." downloaded to his Nokia 6600
phone. What if it said "true"

50 miles out in blue water, looking for a restaurant, gas station, someone
to fix that out-drive. Google Mobile to the rescue.

With GPS Google's service becomes a huge threat to many of the companies
that already sell handheld navigation system like TomTom and Navicore.

The GPS feature could well be waiting for a second release of the service,
or waiting for next-gen handsets with a GPS built into them, to become more
widely used.

There have been rumbles about Yahoo Maps linking up with mobile phone
companies too.

Won't be long before we can toss the GPS and just use our mobile phones.
