Empire strikes back or Yandex.Maps now determine location without GPS



    Most of you are probably aware that last fall Google introduced a mobile version of its Google Maps with the ability to determine an approximate location without GPS at the base stations of mobile operators. A rather convenient function, but its minus is that it works only with Windows Mobile, Symbian and Java (only on Sony Ericsson).

    It turns out that on April 29 a beta version of Yandex.Maps was introduced with the same opportunity .

    May 13, the version of Yandex.Maps with the same opportunity is officially presented.

    As an easy PR, and in search of an investor, I’ll say that I showed a similar softink on the functions last summer :) http://habrahabr.ru/blog/i_am_clever/18819.html
    Since then, I wrote this same for iPhone :)
