OK. It now says my city, but how did it know what city I'm in? Must be using GPS??

If it is half a mile up the street that isn't GPS. Most likely it is using the Google Gears GeoLocation API and sending it tower/radio info. Good enough for weather and pizza lookups. Maybe under different circumstances they'll use whatever location service is available. Would need more testing.
