Google Maps on my two Sprint cell phones can often tell me which lane of traffic I am in. There must be something seriously wrong with your MacBook, DO. Their congestion notification on secondary roads is often right-on as well. It works so well I use it instead of the turn-by-turn app that I have. The new Google app will dominate the market because it has more features than dedicated GPS units (can you say Street View) and doesn’t cost the extra 10-15/month that the current Sprint/Verizon apps cost. Dedicated GPS makers will go the way that paid-webmail services went when Gmail launched. You just can’t compete with better and free.

Verizon has had a GPS via cell phone option for sometime and it didn’t collapse the GPS market. I doubt Google will either.

This is good news for consumers. I just hope that its location finder is more accurate than Google maps on my macbook, which is routinely off by a mile-literally
