Google Toolbar Labs (IE Only) Adds Auto-Location To Maps
If you’re an Internet Explorer user and love you some Google Maps, Google now offers some Toolbar Labs, which are basically the standard Google Toolbar recompiled with experimental features. Along with a Simplified Chinese Toolbar, the other Labs remix right now adds auto-location feature. It’s kind of like Google Maps Mobile’s version, but using nearby Wi-Fi spots to pinpoint you and make your default business searches—pizza, car repair, bicycle shop—pinned to your location.

@gestorter: You don't need a Google Latitude account. You don't need any account at all.
