New Google Maps GPS_like Functionality

You don't need GPS Accessory or GPS In-built phone.

I have Sony Ericsson K810i Cyber-shot phone.

Today i downloaded new Beta soft. from Google by pointing my phone's Net-Front Browser to maps.google.comafter downloading, it took a while to load ( blue bar... ). Later it showed me "Your current location is temporarily unavailable".I didn't closed Google Maps software.

I started searching the web by typing the above generated error in Google Web Search on my PC. Roughly in 5 or say 10 minutes when i checked my phone, I got my approximate location within 1700 metres. So It definitely works.

Do one thing ; Go to Menu->Help->About/info-> Scroll Down to the last line. You will see just like that :-404:59:some numbers:some numbers

Here 404 means Indiaand 59 stands for CellOne Rajasthan.This is a network code.If that type of thing appears then wait for sometimes as your software might be in processing stage.This is a useful thing. Thanks a millions to Google. Though in Beta stage it's not pinpointed like Good SONY GPS devices but at least when you are travelling via bus or Train then say at midnight while you get up from your birth then you can get some info about your current location. It's cool.

The other way to get info is to use Cell Information feature in your phone. For Sony Ericsson phones, go to MESSAGING->SETTINGS->AREA INFO->CELL INFORMATION->ON

in standby screen you'll see the name of place as a second line after Network name. ( Provided your operator supports. )Thanks. One thing more...it's in neonatal stage that means just like when some years ago Google Earth started so gradually it will become faster and accurate. Also You should Restart your phone so that access gets improved.

Pumpkin Contest


Hi Friends,

Recently there was a contest held on Madonna Blog. This time Bloggers around the world had to show creativity by doing fusion of Madonna and Pumpkin for Halloween. I also sent my entry. Though i was late but it was published there. I am thankful to everyone who liked my work. It was really fun to make it.


My main aim was to include Madonna-Music Album inspired Hat and Stiletto. These two things are too beautiful. You can take a look on other entries by selecting Madonna Blog link at Right side. Thanks for reading.
