Client Video: Google's My Location for Mobile Maps
By leelefever on December 11, 2007 - 9:48am.
We love making videos that explain truly innovative products. Such was the case for the video we produced for the Google Maps for Mobile team. The video explains a new feature of Google Maps for Mobile called "My Location" that makes using a mobile map much more efficient by establishing your location without GPS.The challenge was to create a short video that helps educate people on the feature, but also on how cell phones and towers can be used to establish an approximate location on a mobile map. Again, Google impressed us with their efficiency and focus. This video is currently
displayed on the Google Maps My Location page.
You can find the video on the Google's YouTube Channel or on Blip.tv. The video we produced for the Google Docs team is here.

This is simply genious
This is simply genious
No Idea
I would agree! I had no idea that this kind of technology was already in the palm of my hand. Great stuff....
I totally agree... your work
I totally agree... your work is great!!! absolutely brilliant... it looks so simple, clean, and easy to understand.... congratulations!
Very nice!
The word "genius" is often thrown around too easily but true genius is making the complicated simple (not the other way around), and your video is refreshingly congruent with that tradition. It's also a nice advertisement for the service - now I want it.
Only Google?
Does anyone know if this system is proprietary to Google? I mean, are competitors able to develop this soon as well? Regardless, it seems like Google is first like so many other things.
More Info...
Good questions...I don't know the answer to them I admit but here is a page that tells more about the service and uses the video Common Craft created.
Woah!
Never realised google did this! Great vid (Careful or saatchi will be after ur company ;))
Fantastic
Wow, this is fantastic! How long has this been available and does it work literally anywhere (with cell phone reception of course)??
Nice Works, and good idea
Another great video, you really explaining these issues plainly. I reallly wonder how log does it takes to make this.
Thanks!
