Cingular BlackBerry 8800 shows the way out

Did you ever find yourself a little lost with no clue on how to proceed further? Well, you aren’t alone, for that’s a predicament most of us face with some point or the other. It’s in such times that you should thank Cingular for launching the BlackBerry 8800, the latest open GPS-enabled device from a major U.S. carrier.

When you use Google Maps for mobile, your location automatically shows up on the map. When you download Google Maps for the mobile and fire it up, you'll notice something quite unusual: a blinking blue dot showing you exactly where you are!

You can use your auto-detected location to get directions and perform local searches without even entering your location.
