With the release of Google Gears Geolocation API for laptop Wi-Fi, the Google mobile team announced “My Location with Wi-Fi”, which will provide greater accuracy when you use a Wi-Fi enabled device. If you have a Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry, download the latest version of Google Maps for mobile. Maps for other mobile platforms, including Android, will get Wi-Fi location soon.

Wi-Fi-based location is also now available through the Gears Geolocation API, bringing more-accurate location information to the browser on your phone or laptop, including Search with My Location.
