T-Mobile G1 supports many location-based applications, including:
A-GPS & Google Maps: With built-in A-GPS (Assisted GPS), customers can
use Google Maps to navigate and change routes in real time. You can
navigate or pan in any direction in Google Maps with the flick of your
finger.
Google Maps StreetView: T-Mobile G1 also comes equipped with
StreetView, a feature of Google Maps, that gives users panoramic
360-degree street-level imagery for various locations. StreetView will
be available for the first time on a mobile device with T-Mobile G1.
By viewing StreetView images alongside directions, drivers or
pedestrians have visual context for intersections and action points
along their route, enabling them to be aware of landmarks and other
factors such as tolls, speed limits, size of the road, and the
availability of parking at their destination.
A Compass: The device also includes a built-in compass and
accelerometer which allows you to pan left or right, up and down, just
by my moving the device. StreetView syncs with the built-in compass on
your device and allows you to view locations, navigate clearly and
find your way from right where you’re standing. Or, take a tour of a
far-away place as if you were at a spot on the street corner without
leaving your location. You can explore the world without taking a
step.
