T-Mobile G1 supports many location-based applications, including:

A-GPS & Google Maps: With built-in A-GPS (Assisted GPS), customers can

use Google Maps to navigate and change routes in real time. You can

navigate or pan in any direction in Google Maps with the flick of your

finger.

Google Maps StreetView: T-Mobile G1 also comes equipped with

StreetView, a feature of Google Maps, that gives users panoramic

360-degree street-level imagery for various locations. StreetView will

be available for the first time on a mobile device with T-Mobile G1.

By viewing StreetView images alongside directions, drivers or

pedestrians have visual context for intersections and action points

along their route, enabling them to be aware of landmarks and other

factors such as tolls, speed limits, size of the road, and the

availability of parking at their destination.

A Compass: The device also includes a built-in compass and

accelerometer which allows you to pan left or right, up and down, just

by my moving the device. StreetView syncs with the built-in compass on

your device and allows you to view locations, navigate clearly and

find your way from right where you’re standing. Or, take a tour of a

far-away place as if you were at a spot on the street corner without

leaving your location. You can explore the world without taking a

step.
