Google has now officially entered the world of location-based search on the Windows Mobile platform. According to Google’s announcement earlier today, the company has used its Gears Geolocation API to make searching for business and locales in your area easier on Windows Mobile devices. With an approximate location thanks to A-GPS, My Location is able to use this data to provide accurate search results in close proximity to your current location.
As of now, Search with My Location is only available on Windows Mobile devices using Internet Explorer Mobile in the US and the UK. Google says that it will offer wider support as it continues to enter agreements with vendors. To use the service now, simply surf to google.com from your mobile phone and click the My Locations link to get started.
