Pinpoint+Your+PCs+Location+with+Geosense

Microsoft included a new feature in Windows 7 to let your PC know exactly where it is located on the planet. The idea is that if you search the Internet for ‘restaurants’, for example, Internet Explorer is able to pinpoint your location and then return results of restaurants in your local area. The only drawback is that to use this feature, called Windows Sensor and Location platform, your PC or laptop needs to have a built-in GPS sensor. Unfortunately few laptops and practically no desktop PCs have such a sensor.
 * Pinpoint Your PCs Location with Geosense **

Today’s essential download cures this problem. Geosense is a Windows Location and Sensors plug-in which delivers accurate positioning information without requiring any GPS device. It works by using your IP Internet address to discover your location. Once you’ve installed the plug-in, go to the Control Panel and click on **Location and Other Sensors**. From here you can enable Geosense. To test the plug-in the developers have provided a test application which allows you to find your location on Google Maps, and also shows your street address. This is especially useful if you have a laptop and travel with it, as it can be difficult to know where you are in an unfamiliar city.
