Google debuts Search with My Location for iPhone 3.0

Google announced the launch of Search with My Location for iPhone 3.0, enabling users to search for locales in their vicinity without entering specific location-based queries. "Now if I want to know which jazz clubs are near me, I don't have to specify a location --I just search for ‘jazz clubs,'" writes Google Mobile Team product manager Joshua Siegel on the Official Google Mobile Blog. According to Siegel, iPhone users who visit www.google.com via Safari can turn on My Location by tapping a link on the homepage--after the user taps the "update" link, their location is automatically updated and displayed on the homepage. Subsequent "update" link taps refresh location details. Siegel adds that users must opt in to the Search with My Location service, and can disable the feature from Preferences at the bottom of the homepage. Search with My Location for iPhone 3.0 is available in English in the U.S. and the U.K.
