Access on Main Street

Heaven knows we’re big believers in GPS as an accommodation aid. But what if your cell phone isn’t GPS-enabled? Google pondered this audience and came up with My Location, which estimates where you are, within about 1000 meters, based on your proximity to broadcast towers. If it’s not confident about its own accuracy in a given situation, it provides a visual signal. Far from perfect, but could be helpful in a pinch.
