Give it a try: http://www.google.com/maps/m If it is able to get your location, it should have a little dot in the bottom-right corner that will take you to your current location when clicked. The browser asks for your permission before giving your location away to a website, so there's no need to worry about privacy as far as I can tell. It is surprisingly accurate, I don't know what kind of magic they use but I live in a small town (1 square mile in size) and it was able to pinpoint me down to that level. Maybe from my search/browsing history? I don't know... maybe I don't want to know. :) I think it doesn't locate you but your dslam or its fiber or voiceband equivalent. Well, it's only a supposition and I may be all wrong but it sounds more realistic than infering your physical location based on your browsing history :D -- Éric Valérian DUNAND pgp6iLHRDCDYG.pgp Description: PGP signature
