Windows Mobile Google App Gets My Location, Suggestions and Map Search

The Windows Mobile Google application just got a modest update that includes a few handy new features. For one, it’s incorporating cell tower ID recognition to help provide local search results without needing a GPS fix. The technique, dubbed My Location by Google (NSDQ: GOOG), has been on BlackBerry’s search app since March, and is also available in Google Maps. Typing in a search query in the updated WinMo app will now offer suggestions as you type, potentially saving you some time. Finally, the Maps app now integrates with search – just pick the results with a red pin to open the target in Google Maps. To get started or update your current software, hit up m.google.com in your mobile browser.
