I'm not sure if this can be done on a device that has GPS built in - ie I think Google knows your device has GPS and then doesn't offer the other type of location setting.

That being said, if you don't have a Touch Pro, this cell-tower triangulation will work unless you are on Sprint, who, as I understand it, blocks third-party apps from accessing cell-tower info. At least that was how it was the last time I checked. I guess they are concerned about eating into their profit for Sprint Family Locator, lol!

By the way, not sure if you guys have seen, but Google Maps was updated today with a new AWESOME feature - it syncs with your gps to publish your location to people who you specify as friends - similar to something like Brightkite but automatically. It works really well on my Sprint TP. You can turn the GPS on and off whenever you want, thus have it update as your moving from place to place, or just once you ge there. I've been waiting for such a feature from someone and Google has finally made it. They still are missing a lot of other nice things that Brightkite has, but just being able to updtate automatically is huge!
