iPhone gets Assisted GPS
Actual photo of Navizon's virtual GPS in action - Thanks Cyril!

Thanks to Navizon’s virtual GPS, the iPhone gets some real-time positioning capabilities. This is done by locating the nearest WiFi hotspots and cellular towers. Navizon also uses a database of geo-information built by its user community.

Go to Navizon’s blog to learn how to install the application. It is free for 15 days, then users can buy it for $24.99. Once installed, you can setup Google Map to use the virtual GPS and instantly know where you are – cool huh?

Hi Bryan!

I don't think that the A-GPS is accurate enough for driving... Next year, you'll get an iPhone w/ 3G and GPS, I think.

I thought this was OK but I was hoping for turn by turn not just an auto location on a map.
