How to Get ‘My Location’ Working in Google Maps
 This should have been posted a long time ago but for some reason I just didn’t see that this was the reason it worked. In Google Maps for Window Mobile there is a feature called ‘My Location.’ It uses cell tower triangulation to basically zero in on your location within a certain range of error. This can be helpful when leaving the airport in a new city or if you are prone to waking up in strange places. It operates similarly to Navizon. In order for that to work you need to App unlock your phone before installing Google Maps.
There are two ways to do this. The first is to create a new DWORD entry in your registery under HKLM > Security > Policies > Policies with a value of 0000101b and DWORD = 1. Thanks to SurrealNetworks
