Never lost with Google Maps Mobile and My Location technology

I've just had bought my new N95 8GB when I discovered (thanks Tommy) that Google Maps for mobile is about to use a technology called My Location :

My Location is a new beta technology from Google that uses cell tower identification to provide you with approximate location information, so it will work on phones without GPS. Simply fire up Google Maps for mobile, press [0], and the map will indicate your approximate location by centering on a blue circle.
If you do have a GPS-enabled device, My Location can actually complement it. My Location kicks in faster than GPS in most cases, so you can access your location even faster on the map. It also works reliably indoors (unlike GPS) and doesn't drain your phone battery at the rate that GPS does.

I wonder if they will be able to make it more accurate -- I've read that is only accurate within .8km, which is a VERY wide margin for error. As a reader on /. said, "Best this thing can tell me is that I'm in Toronto! Glad it could let me know that one!"
