Does the new Google maps with "my location" replace GPS?

I drove around LA today and it worked quite well.
Not terribly accurate but just the fact that the map will move to your approximate location is a HUGE time saver.

The Google maps for mobile GPS web page (www.google.com/gps.html?hl=en&phone=3) says the Blackberry 8800 and Ocean from Helio both use internal GPS. I guess they use tower triangulation if GPS isn't available.
